It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
What did you see?

Christmas is swiftly approaching!

What?

Two weeks till Christmas?

I am not ready!




Three Days till Donna comes home.



Decorating, still not finished (waiting for Donna).

Shopping still not complete (waiting for Donna and Cash).



Cookies not baked (recipe's found but we cannot bake too soon).



What is a girl to do?

Get busy, that's what!
My list is made of what needs to be done and where to get it done so I am really in good shape. I really like to have it all done by now, but in this economy, it isn't as easy.
Everyone I speak to is feeling the pinch this year, so make the New Year's resolutions to lose 10 lbs by March because all my friends and family are getting "baked stocking stuffers" this year!

Just For Fun Correction!

I rarely make mistakes, I know you are thinking, Cristina? She is perfecto! But alas, I do make a mistake now and then.

My Brother (www.vinniecosta.com) found my error on my "Just for fun" post and the instructions clearly state NOT to use the same word twice and I did.

I meant to use "Crop" for the four letter word and I keyed in "Crap" instead and used "Crap" for my last answer...It was truly a typo and I totally missed it.

I apologize and assure you, it may just happen again (no, you are thinking, not her) but hopefully not for a very long time!

Reward/Club card addiction?

I was in the shower the other day, (I do shower every day), but it was the other day, I was thinking.
I have so many "Rewards", "Club" cards attached to my key chain.

It seems that ALL retailers all are following in CVS's footsteps (that was the first "rewards" card I received). Then came the A & P, Stop & Shop, Borders, Staples, Library Card, Best Buy, Duane Reed...the list goes on!

The retail industry is using these to track us I believe...track our spending and then rewarding us will free gum or $2.00 off our entire shopping order!

I had to detach my keys from the bundle of cards I have acquired over the years from various retailers that I frequent often, or just once in a blue moon because I had more of them than keys!.



These now live in my pocket book, in their own compartment!

Just an observation on my part, do you suffer from Reward/Club card addiction?

This was actually seen last Friday so it counts!



What did you see?

I already said it in private...

So I must say it publically...




Thanks Uncle Vinnie for taking us to one of the most spectacular shows on earth!





Not only did we see the Christmas show at Radio City we were privileged to witness the union of a couple in Grand Central Terminal!

After the show, My brother and I parted ways and Brook and I were homeward bound.
I wanted to take her through the main concourse because they are running a kaleidoscope light show all this week (maybe till Christmas, I am not 100%) and thought she would love it while we wait for our train.

We noticed a crowd of onlookers and figured, lets see whats going on.
Low and behold, its a wedding!





What a fabulous idea! Why didn't I think of it?
Totally FREE! All they needed was an officiant. The venue was brilliant!

They looked so happy and it was really a beautiful wedding.

What a great kindergarten hookie day!
