Yesterday I met my sister and nephew out for lunch at the mall. Jake just gets bigger and cuter every time I see him. 
Then I finished up my Vacation swap shopping. All I have left to do is my craft, which is tres fabulous I must admit. I hope Stef likes everything! I ordered some earrings from Hovey. I’d like to order the entire site but I have a mortgage to pay. I sent out all of my Mother’s day cards and did up my mother’s day shopping. Mom doesn’t have her computer hooked up yet so I suppose I can spill the beans here about what she’s getting. 
She’s been eyeing my cross necklace for quite some time and finally came out and said she wanted one for herself, and just in time for mother’s day. Made my shopping easier that’s for sure!Oh, and it’s the silver one, not platinum. I’m on a budget people! So now we just have to figure out the plan for Mother’s day festivities and we’ll be all set. This one is exciting because it’s my sister’s first mother’s day. In other shopping news I dragged poor J out to 3 or 4 different drug stores in search of the new spring colors of Maybelline’s roller color eye shadow. It’s just the best stuff. Very pretty. Found both colors (Firefly and Fairy Pink) at Super Wal-Mart. It’s the little things that make me happy. Oh, and I also finished my shopping for my sister’s (Sara’s) birthday later this month. May is a busy month for me birthday and holiday wise. But it keeps Hallmark and local retailers happy!
Oh, and speaking of spending, if you have kids, or nephews or neices, or if you don’t have any children you’re fond of and would like to benefit the ones I love, you may have heard of this program called U Promise. It’s very cool. You sign up, log your frequent shopper cards, credit cards, etc., and every time you spend $$ at participating retailers & restaurants they contribute a portion of your spending toward the college education for the child of your choice. Right now I’m saving for my littlest sister and my nephew. So if there are no children in your family or circle of friends that you could save for, let me know and you can save for mine! Might as well help someone since you’re spending the money anyway, right? And if you do have a child you can help, sign up!
Bless Your Heart
