Katy and I were in Leicester this past weekend. Katy’s mom officiously retired (she officially retires at the end of this week but had some leave time coming) and she had a little leaving do for 40 or so of her co-workers. Seriously. Scary.
We went to Palmers to check out their Christmas display and I was finally able to buy a pair of Foo dogs for our backyard. HAPPY DANCE! It only took me 6 months to find some. Jaysus. They’re being ordered now and I should have them in a few weeks. Woot!
We did some Christmas recon work to try and find some ornaments that would be nice, yet still be able to survive two cats and a BenBen. We have some good candidates and when the time comes to decorate (and we have a bit of spare cash), we know where to go.
While we were out, we stumbled across this year’s hot fashion accessories. I give you the Elvis sunglasses with extra sideburns and the penguin earmuffs:
We also shopped for a new car seat for the Beastie and some winter coats for him. Right now, I’m looking for some thinsulate fingerless gloves with a mitten flap that will fit him. Does such a thing even exist?
Anybody?
Bueller?
