I had the box of christmas cookies in my hand!! i set it down because i needed wrapping paper and i couldn't hold everything i had managed to pick up along the way. i stood in the middle of a busy isle staring at the box like i was spellbound by the promise of the sweet, sweet goodness contained within.

frankly if i had my other hand free i may have purchased it! either way, that box is still at the store, propped up on a shelf in the wrong isle by the wrapping paper. whew...that was a close call.

happy holidays to all. i cannot wait for next week because i will be able to lift and run every single day.
