Hi all.  Taking a break and putting my feet up.  I have been working on the tree the past few hours.  I have to get the top 4 ft. or so decorated before the rented ladder has to go back tomorrow morning.  Greg has been helping me and he never decorates.  We went to Penney&#39;s to get the things my MIL wanted us to, and obviously they have different ads and carry different things in different parts of the country as they had neither of the things she wanted and they were not in the sale ad here.  I even asked a clerk and she said they did not carry them.  However, we did find a few bargains - They had CARS stuff for 60% off.  They had a suitcase on wheels with Lightning McQueen on it and also a remote controlled Lightning McQueen.  They were both reg. &#036;40 each, and so would be &#036;16 apiece and they had some &#036;25 SpongeBob pajamas for &#036;8 - these prices were supposed to only be good until 1:00 and it was about noon then.  Anyway, we got in the very long line and waited.  I figured out it should be &#036;40 plus tax.  When it was our turn, we got sent to a register with a very hateful clerk.  Okay, I realize it had probably already been a long day for her at that point but she was very unpleasant.  They had the sale flyers laying on the counter and they had a coupon for &#036;10 off a &#036;50 purchase or &#036;15 off a &#036;75 purchase,  I commented that I guess neither would work for us and she gave an exasperated sigh and said something about &quot;well, I guess I can check if you insist&quot;.  I didn&#39;t expect her to do it all.  Anyway, I heard 2 beeps when she scanned the flyer and then she said &quot;that will be &#036;18.33&quot;.  I said that could not be right as the the remote control car or the suitcase would be that, with tax, by themselves.  She informed me that she does not make mistakes.  So, I paid her and when we got to the truck, I pulled the receipt out of the bag and saw that the computer had taken both coupons and deducted an addtional &#036;25.  I am surprised that it even took one as it didn&#39;t total &#036;50.  So, guess I did get some real bargains.  Then we went to lunch and then to Border&#39;s to get a book on low glycemic foods.  Saw a sign that Judy Collins was going to be there sometime today.  About that time, a white headed woman and her entourage walked right in front of us, brushing up against me.  I looked at her face and lo and behold, it was her.  I had no idea she was white headed now.  Then we went to Lowe&#39;s, and made a stop by Sunbelt to pick up the ladder and then came home.  Greg is at PetSmart right now because we forgot to make that stop.  Well, best get back to my decorating....
