I went out to do one more 100.00 SDM shop. I was happy to find Starbucks coffee for 7.99 a bag. I bought 3 bags and can redeem for the 10.00 Starbucks gift card and each pack has a free coffee on it. Like J&C said now we need to build up our points. DH has 7000 left and I have 38000. But it was great to buy so many gifts and food with only the taxes to pay.
Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

WOW what a weekend it has been.
On Friday one of Mom's co workers got a call her grandma was taken to the hospital and she needed to go meet her Mom at the hospital. Sadly her Grandmother passed away I believe that evening. This now makes 3, a family friend on my Dad's side passed away, also out neighbour who had terminal cancer passed.
Mom did her co workers shift yesterday which left me with the house to myself. Originally we were supposed to go out yesterday and Mom tried to talk me into still going but decided to stay home instead and happy I did. I cleaned the bathroom from floor to ceiling, they did not use bathroom paint in our bathroom and you can tell as we get funny marks on the ceiling and walls. I tidied the kitchen loading, running and unloading the dishwasher. As well I cleaned the kitchen floor which never got done after last weekends cake things and our kitchen floor is a pain to clean (oh how I wish I could rip it out). As well I got the laundry done including folding last weeks that never got folded. As well for dinner I made a Sheppard Pie with homemade bread.
So far today I ran to Wal Mart to exchange some almond milk, in error my Mom got original instead of vanilla and also I grabbed some eggs as we were almost out. I have now cleaned the kitchen (did the hand washing dishes) and am now working on cleaning off the couch.
Just looking up some recipes now to make some dishes ahead for the week as Mom closes almost everyday this week, as well we need snacks to take with us to work so my clean kitchen won't be clean for long.
Got one pair of slippers done yesterday which makes me happy, this was the pair that the pattern did not work for so after lots and lots of changes I got them done. I found a pattern with excellent reviews I will be using to make a pair for my sister. As well my cousin finally told me what I can get his little girl. So still quite a bit to be done but feel like I am in a better place.
Off to get some stuff done, have a great day everyone.

Went over to our friends for a lovely dinner last night. DD is currently studying and after lunch we may put up the Xmas tree. Looking like a warmer than average week here so good for outdoor walks.

Does anyone know if PC stores sell e-reader gift cards? MIL has this on her list and I've never heard of such a thing?

Taffy is home! Skinny as all get-out, pretty much just bones, which is really scary - but she's in very good shape. No owies, cuts, bites, etc. - just matted fur, and filthy - which we will deal with later.
Just absolutely amazed that Milan and our son were able to get her out of those few inches under the shed with a fishing net - popped her in a pillowcase and walked her home - put her in my arms!
So she needed and will need time - she's eating a bit, drinking, wants to be in the sun. She stinks to high heaven - but again, fixing that will come later.
Vader freaked - we were just separating her, putting her into the bedroom when Taffy ran in there to go under the bed - and Milan went to get Taffy and Vader went all Ninja on Milan, scratching him up pretty bad. Vader is just howling, but Taffy isn't even responding.
BUT, holding Taffy in my arms, her purring her special quiet purr - nothing beats that. She's making some funny sounds, but I imagine that may shift - whatever, we'll see.
Just extremely grateful that she is in the shape she is!
I've been crying buckets of happy tears, and am now giving Milan some snuggle time with her.

Nancy I think you need to know which e-reader she has. My mom has a Kindle and can use Amazon gift cards (she keeps eyeing up the one I purchased at SDM). I use my Ipod and use Ibooks and that is Itune gift cards. I know there is also Kobo I have seen them somewhere but can't remember where.
Natalka so happy Taffy is home.
