I just had an awesome weekend! I was able to get away - just myself (and the dog) - I stayed at my parents house from Friday night until Sunday evening and got do just relax!!
On Saturday, I had a prenatal massage by Mohammad at Essential Massage in Cocoa Village, FL, visited Stacy at Sadie's baby boutique, then went to lunch with Mom and Dad. I got to see people I had not seen in a while at the St Mary's Christmas Party that night. Then came home and saw the movie Love Actually with so many really good actors in it - it was a great 'holiday' movie though not recommended for children (only for the nudity scenes and some adult situations ;o)
Then on Sunday, I had wanted to go to a baby expo in Orlando then on to IKEA...but that night before, the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to drive into Orlando and deal with that traffic and people! And besides! it was MY relaxation weekend anyway!! So, I ended up going to Viera - the SuperTarget, and a couple of other stores there - and got some Christmas shopping done. Now if I could find time to wrap presents...!
When I was done with that and it was getting dark, I went back to Mom and Dad's, packed up my stuff (and the dog) and made my way back home.
Thank you, Patrick my love, for watching Anastasia on those days and glad you got to bond!

CHALLENGE!!
My challenge to you this week: On Friday, BUY NOTHING! That's right, on Black Friday, stay home, reflect on whether or not you NEED those things you may have purchased and hug you family!
Here is something to back me up: http://www.thecowgoddess.com/2006/11/24/buy-nothing-day-rerun/
What are you going to do instead of standing in line with other cold and tired people that would knock you down to get to that thing first? Perhaps clean out your closet or have the kids clean theirs out if you do intend to get them things this year. Tell them that they need to donate the junk they don't want anymore. There are plenty of thrift stores that will take it all!
And speaking of thrift stores, I found three more on Merritt Island just the other day - one of which was a baby resale store - all on SR 3 between SR 520 and SR 528. I'll get back to you on if they are any good and where exactly they are...
