I have always been one for a good deal. I love going to yard sales and being frugal has become an art thanks to our years of seminary living (aka “the DPY”- dirt poor years). One of the things on my list for Christmas was a deep skillet – you know, one of those pans that is about 4″ deep but isn’t a wok. I have alot of dishes that require mixing ingredients on the stove and my skillet is insufficient.

Well, this week I was on Amazon.com for some reason I forget and I saw a Calphalon pan – 4″ deep – listed for $168.00. First of all, what kind of pan lists for $168.00??? Well, it was on sale for $25.00 – what in the world?? AND Amazon was running a special that if you buy $25 from their houseware department you qualify for a year of a magazine of your choice – – OR you can opt for a refund that equals the cost of the magazine subscription ($15.00).

SO – bottomline – I am getting my 4″ skillet that originally sales for $168.00 for $10.00!!!! You heard me!!! And FREE SHIPPING!!!

Merry Christmas to all and to all Good Night!!!
(Thanks Jeriald for such a GREAT gift)

Yesterday was a good day. A friend from church came over and stayed with the kids while she sent me out to run errands. SO GREAT. Funny thing is – – being in that big van all alone was a bit weird. I am such a mom.

Last night was crop night. Six friends met at my friend Diana’s house to work on scrapbooks and that was so fun. One of my favorite nights of every month.

Yes, yesterday was a good day.

Today is a good day. KB has slept two naps without waking up early and screaming.

I am about to go downstairs and make sugar cookies with my other two children which scares me to death but could be fun. Then tonight some friends we haven’t seen since MARCH are coming over. I am so excited.

Common thread of good days: ME ME ME. How convicting. This is not a good day! (wink)

After one has a baby they are showered with food from every direction. Our church family has been very generous and really has taken care of us during this time of transition. A funny story though. One famly brought us a bag of food that included chicken from the local grocery — Schnucks. It still had a feather on it!!!
