Hey there Internets,
I am in Georgia visiting my hubby’s family (the original 007’s) and getting down to the serious business of gaining 10 lbs in 4 days. Today we have been playing baseball and Mario Kart on the Wii and Adam and I went shopping for a new Christmas tree. We went to Lowes and Home Depot but sadly they had nothing. Apparently the early bird really does get the worm for day after Christmas savings. Luckily we went to a small home and garden place down the road and we got a GREAT deal! We found a really pretty pre-lit tree for 75% off! Did you get that internets? 75% OFF! Supposedly you don’t have to “fluff” or shape this tree. It was originally crazy expensive. I don’t know many people who would pay anywhere near full price for a fake tree that you use 6 weeks out of the year.
What’s that? You want to know how much it was originally? Ok I really wanted to tell you anyway. It was 569 dollars! So with the little 75% discount we paid 142 bucks plus tax! Yeah I am the bargain hunting queen. It’s ok you can say it….you want to be me.
We are headed to my mother in law’s family Christmas celebration tonight for soup and presents and tomorrow we will be with my father in law’s side. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, listening to the kids play, the women interrupt each other and the men talk about SEC football.
I am not sure if I will have time to update again this weekend because I might be too busy eating my sister in law April’s ricotta cheese cookies, napping, and playing video games. If you don’t hear from me before Sunday I will be back to blogging next week! I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!
Love,
Mrs.007

Awesome find on the tree - I love stuff like that. I found my hubby a $40 sweater with no shipping that was originally $150 - and that was BEFORE Christmas. I made everyone jealous with my awesomeness. At least that’s what I told myself . . . .
I’m going to blog about our day, too, but it’s 1 p.m. and I’m still in my jammies. Not rushing anything today.
I have to tell you, I stumbled across your blog somehow the other day and think you are hilarious. I tried to get semi-caught up with some posts during some Christmas baking downtime and just HAD to add you to my reader.
I love this blog. I’m caught up and ready for when you get back. I’m blog breaking this week, too, so enjoy your time off!
<3, Kristen
I’m totally jealous
