My first last trip to Walgr**ns

I sat here yesterday trying to find Christmas cards for Popster's kiddies that I could put 2 pictures in...remember the 11 sick kids that weren't in the first picture!  After getting very frustrated I finally went to Sn*pfish & found one that would work.  Of course it was twice as much but price is no object when it comes to his kiddies!  Proceeding to the checkout I discover that I can pick them up at Walgr**ns & as we have those in the "Great Northeast" now!  I was like go for it.

Even better  when I clicked buy at 4:55PM & the web site said they would be done at 5:55PM....of course when you are paying through the nose anything is possible!  I was going to be in the vicinity of Clifton Park this morning for Miss LiLi's Christmas concert so I volunteered to pick them up. (Lesson #1)

I stop in on my way home & of course I have to look around & find some bargains I could absolutely not do without.  I work my way back to the photo center & took one look at the guy working there & said to myself this is not going to go well!  He should have had a big sign on his chest that said "I can screw up anything"
He found my cards & started to check me out.  First thing the cards were automatically charged to my credit card even though it stated otherwise on my receipt from the web site.  I finally conceded that point after 10 mins of trying to fix it.  Now he wanted me to spend a few more dollars so I could get a $5 coupon for next week.  After about my 15th NO he got it!  Next he tried to scan a coupon for the candy canes I bought.  Here's where it all came to a screeching halt!!!!  The register froze up!

We waited & waited & waited for someone to come help but they must have had a hiring freeze as there were only two other people working there!  He had me walk to the front of the store with my purchases but the line was too long so we walked all the way back again!

Then we picked everything up & walked to the cosmetic counter where that girl rang up my purchases but not my cards!  I, naturally wanted to make sure the first transaction was cancelled so back to the photo department!  At that point I asked to be put on the payroll!!!!!  Finally the manager comes over & voids the first transaction, rang the cards again which automatically got charged to the card again!  I didn't care anymore I wanted  out of there!

As I walked away I hear "Excuse me Maam but you forgot your $5 coupon"

I just said "I don't need it as I have no intentions of ever coming back here again!"

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!
