I was able to use my Penney&#39;s &#036;10 off coupon on a sweater for myself. It was orignally &#036;48 and marked down to &#036;25 so....I got it for &#036;15. I thought that was a pretty good deal. I have my sister-in-law&#39;s name for Christmas (she and my brother live in NH) so I got her a couple pair of earrings at Macy&#39;s with a 20% off (re-usable) coupon. I still have to go tomorrow to Kohl&#39;s and another mall to finish up. My (almost) 2 year-old grand-niece&#39;s birthday is Saturday and I&#39;m going to get her a stuffed puppy dog at &quot;Build a Bear Workshop&quot;. She just <i>loves</i> dogs&#33; I got her 6 year-old sister a kitty cat there when she was 3. And....I still have to get them both Christmas gifts. I tell you - those little girls do real well - they celebrate both Hanukah (their Daddy&#39;s Jewish) <i>and</i> Christmas.<br /><br /><b>Falina</b> - hope that the battery is the only problem with your computer. That&#39;s so sad about Cece. I hope you can find her a good home.<br /><br /><b>Cheryl</b> - how&#39;s the new hair do? Did you get alot cut off? I think it&#39;s about your appt. time as I&#39;m typing this.<br /><br /><b>Jackie</b> - It&#39;s not unusual these days to keep baby names a secret, I guess. My niece did that with both her daughters.<br /><br /><b>Sue</b> - at least you&#39;re ahead of me. I have not gotten my cards done yet. I seem to be moving slower this year for some reason. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br /><b>Mary Lou </b> - glad you checked in. Aruba is one of my favorite ports. We&#39;ve been there twice. ENJOY&#33; <br /><br />Hi Jenn, Shari, Ed, Steve, Kevin, Rose and all other Crazies out there&#33;<br />Have a great day&#33;
