I made cupcakes.

The Women’s Council at our church chose February 8 as the day to let the staff know we appreciate them. I was given the responsibility to see this through and have to admit it slipped up on me. I remembered two weeks ago, made a plan, and decided to execute it myself – after letting enough time go by that it would be RUDE to ask others to help.

So, I made cupcakes. They turned out so precious. Honey chipped in at 10:00PM to help me cut and tie ribbon and twine so that I could go to bed at a decent hour. I am thankful. Thankful he helped me. Thankful for the people at our church who serve so diligently. Thankful it’s almost over because it was stressin’ me out a bit.

Now, on to Valentines Day!

Today I did something I have never done before; I went grocery shopping on Super Bowl Sunday. MAN! I thought Walmart the week before Christmas was bad. WHO KNEW the entire city was grocery shopping at 12:30PM today! (Yes, I went right after church.)

It was hilarious. Everyone wanted cream cheese, shredded cheese, and products from the diced tomato aisle (there were only a few of each left). I even heard one assistant manager using his headpiece to call the back and check on Lil Smokies. “This is going to ruin my party!” I heard a man say when no Lil’ Smokies could be found. Some party!

After Walmart I went to Aldi and I actually had to park in “the back 40”! I have NEVER seen such a crowd at Aldi! Everybody was buying Frito Scoops knock-offs (including me) and milk!

I was glad to get home. I won’t make this mistake a second time. Still, my first attempt at that hot sauce chicken dip was a success and the chili was great. The kids were thankful for cookies and the Saints won! Nice.
