Ugly Sweater Competition

Today at work I noticed a plethora of ugly Christmas Sweaters. Since I switched groups I missed the e-mail telling us about the 1st Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. I was one of the judges and took many pictures including the one above. It was hilarious. The winner received a fruitcake as a prize. It was way too funny. Which sweater do you think should have won? LEave me a comment with your choice.

Other than that, slow day. A day and a half left of work and then Christmas starts. Went to the Supermarket with Dad tonight. I used the scanner thing and he did the traditional way, it made separating everything at the end easy because all of my stuff was already bagged. You have to watch yourself in the supermarket or really anywhere that you shop, there are things that make little sense and end up costing you money. For example I picked up a bottle of vitamins it was $11.99 with $3.00 off 300 count. Next to it was the smaller bottle of 100 count. This bottle was $4.99 with $3.00 off a bottle. So I could get 300 count for 8.99 or for $6.00, hmmm I wonder. You gotta check things out. Packaging is made to do that. To make you think you are getting more than you are.

We walked over to the ice cream and there were two brands selling equal amounts of ice cream. One was 2 for $6 and the other 2 for $5 but the 2 for $6 packaging looks bigger, it is not but it certainly looks that way. Only by looking at packaging do you see the real value.

Good luck with the rest of your Christmas Shopping. I am now finished. I picked up a bunch of stocking gifts for Allison tonight. Wait, not done, didn’t get stocking gifts for Eva. I’ll do that Wednesday before the Christmas Party. Now, where did I put that ugly Christmas sweater.

Eva and her pal Duncan take a look into the back yard to see what is going on. What was going on was a ton of snow and later rain in our area. And now it has turned cold again. I wonder if this white stuff will stick around for Christmas.

So today was pretty much a snowed in day. I was up early to greet the milk man because we placed a large order for the week and they needed to bring two milk crates to the door, our box holds one crate. So, since I was up I caught up to date with all the Legend of the Seeker episodes. The show is cheesy and the characters are not as interesting as Hercules or Xena but I’m giving it a chance. Speaking of TV I became a fan of a ton of my favorite TV shows, on FaceBook. There are quite a few repeats.

You may have caught my post below titled Help Stock Eva’s Farm. We’re looking for other bloggers who’d like to help with stock Eva’s farm by donating to Heifer International towards animals for people in countries in need. If you haven’t read this post read it soon. Thanks.

Because today was such a lazy one we were able to wrap all our presents and we even put up Eva’s tree. She put on her special ornament from this year. It is a hallmark keepsake one with Snoopy and Woodstock and a snowman. She had fun putting it on and taking it off the tree. Here are some photos of Eva’s Tree.

Don’t forget to enter the Sears $100 gift card contest. And I’m not the only one giving Sears gift cards away, there are many other people doing it too.
