Last week, my husband went to Florida. So I may or may not have gotten several snarky telephone calls about how gorgeous and sunny it was, how he wasn't wearing a jacket, blah blah blah.
Where did he have to go this week?
Montana.
Nice.
My Christmas shopping is officially done!!! (Don't be too impressed - our first mini- Christmas is tomorrow, so I'm actually not done that early!)
I went to the King of Prussia Mall yesterday (for non-Philly folks, its one of the biggest malls in America). Its my own fault - I hate going to the mall at Christmas and I've been putting it off. So I bit the bullet.
After discovering that sometimes the mess your children make eating lunch is the car is not worth the time saved letting them eat in the car, I found a parking spot in the next zip code, wrestled a squirming, screaming Colin in his stroller and gave him a lollipop to keep him quiet, gave whiny Gracie a lollipop to keep her quiet and charged in.
The mall itself wasn't too bad, it was the stupid parking lot! It took me fifteen minutes to find a parking spot... and over half an hour to get out of the parking lot!! GRRRR.
But I'm done shopping! For awhile!

So I tried my new Dyson (the D14) and... I hated it. I KNOW, right?! It was supposed to be super amazing! But was super heavy and hard to maneuver. So I went online and decided to try the DC25 instead. Kohls let me return the first one (Love Kohls!) and I picked up the D25. And I LOVE IT!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! It has ruined me for other vacuums.
And let me share the conversation I had with my husband while we were putting the D25 together:
"Well, I was going to get you a Christmas present, but now you have your Dyson."
"WHAT? A vacuum cleaner does NOT count as a Christmas present!"
"A vacuum cleaner doesn't. But this isn't a vacuum cleaner. Its a Dyson."
Not sure I can argue with that one...

Oh, don't forget to enter all of my giveaways this week!
I hadn't heard that about the Dyson...good to know...
I hate mall parking lots. HATE them. Not looking forward to stopping at one on the way home tonight.
