Enfamil Gentlease Lipil Powder - 24 oz can

--------------------------------------

No on call pager today or tomorrow for
my hubby. Thank goodness.
He worked 2 days for another guy
who was on call about a month ago
when that guy was sick
and now it's this guys turn to make up
for those two days.
Then hubby will have it Fri-Sun
and won't have it again for another month.
Will take advantage of the moment
and go to Kmart this eve to see about
those gloves! And pick up some prescriptions
from Kroger for Tony.
As for prescriptions, I have not taken mine yet
for helping stop smoking. I'm thinking
about doing it starting the beginning of the year
and letting the holidays go by first :0)
Because with these meds come the possible side effects of suicidal thoughts and increased anxiety.
Not something I need at the moment during the
holidays!! So will wait til a not so stressful time
to do this!

-------------------------------------

9:40am

Just completed something I'll call
Minty Marshmallow Mounds
since it is something I made up.
1- 6 ounce box of peppermint patties
1 cup chocolate chips (or 2 chocolate bark blocks)
2 Tablespoons shortening
2-3 cups cocoa krispies
2-3 cups mini marshmallows

Over low heat melt peppermint patties,
chocolate chips & shortening in saucepan.
Stir in cocoa krispies until well coated
then stir in marshmallows.
Continue stirring over low heat until
marshmallows start to melt but not completely.

Scoop by tablespoonfuls onto cookies
sheets lined with wax paper.
Allow to sit until chocolate hardens.
Makes about 41.

Hand dipped 170 pretzel nuggets
in chocolate and then sprinkled with colored sugar.

Winter starts next week!

Weather predictions from the Farmer's Almanac
for the Midwest & Great Lakes region.

December 2010
12th-15th. Stormy.
16th-19th. Dry, turning colder.
20th-23rd. Light snow east through Ohio River Valley, then becoming fair.
24th-27th. Fair, cold for Christmas.
28th-31st. Some snow showers, flurries.

January 2011
1st-3rd. Fair, followed by increasing clouds.
4th-7th. Stormy, with periods of snow for Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio; a wintry mix (snow, sleet, rain) for Kentucky.
8th-11th. Fair, turning colder.
12th-15th. Unsettled, with chilly winds.
16th-19th. Snowstorm

.
20th-23rd. Stormy conditions exit, followed by clearing.
24th-27th. Another round of snow.
28th-31st. Generally fair.

February 2011
1st-3rd. Very unsettled weather Kentucky up through the Great Lakes.
4th-7th. Becoming fair and much colder across the Midwest.
8th-11th. Snow for Ohio River north.

Old Man Winter will exhibit a “split personality” throughout North America. Over the coming months, along the East Coast, from the Canadian Maritimes down to Florida and as far west as the lower Ohio River and Mississippi River Valley, is expected to experience colder-than-normal winter temperatures.

Meanwhile, for the western states and provinces, milder-than-normal winter temperatures are expected, from the Pacific Coast inland as far as the Rockies and the western Great Plains. Near the center of the continent, in the American Midwest, Saskatchewan, and parts of Alberta and Manitoba, look for near-normal winter temperatures, with average amounts of cold and snow.

All things considered, when comparisons to last year are made, we believe that for most, it will turn out to be a “kinder and gentler” winter overall.

11:45am

Got the graham toffee brittle all broke up
into pieces.
The cookies/candy I did this morning
got all zip bagged up and put into the gift bags.
Whew! I'm done with baking for
the moment til later on this evening.
-----------------------------------------

26 pages of printable coupons!

I've been printing and collecting tons of those chocolate,
candy, baking & candles (like Glade) coupons.
Those items are due to go on sale at least 50%
or more after Christmas.
Add in some of these coupons for even
better deals!!
I keep them all in an envelope in my purse
and mark on the outside of the envelope all
the coupons that are inside.
That way I have them with me wherever I shop
and see the mark downs.

There's also a coupon or two for $5.00 off
Enfamil Premium for infants & Toddlers.

Also watch for some toys to go on sale
after Christmas for 50% off.
Christopher's birthday is less than two weeks
after Christmas. We take him out to pick out a
toy he wants and give him $20 to $25 for
his birthday. We usually find toys that are
$40 to $50 marked down half price to $20-$25 from
Christmas!!

8:35pm

Took everyone out for supper at McDonalds
with the buy 1 get 1 coupons we got this week.
My kitchen is wiped out from baking so figured
we'd eat out tonight, lol.

Stopped in Kroger afterwards.
Had to wait on a prescription so we walked around
the store. We ran into our butcher friend who was
out by the hams. He marked down
a 6.97 pound ham for me.
He knows when I'm there that I shop
for those manager special meats.
reg. price $15.26 @ $2.19 a pound
sale price $7.53 @ .88 cents a pound
and I got it for $4.53 or .63 cents a pound!
Then we head to the checkout.
The cashier told us we might want to find
another lane because the lady he was checking
out had forgot her purse and had to run
home to get it! And I'm thinking he's holding
her groceries at the checkout while she goes home????

From there we went to Kmart. That was fun trying on
gloves with the kids and was about like shoe shopping, ahhh!
I got each kid a nice pair of gloves and a ski
mask hat for 50% off. Still was a little expensive
for my budget but I wanted them to have some
warm Winter attire.
$8 ski hats were $4.00 each and
$17 gloves were $8.50 each.
And of course all this stuffed looked like
it had been ransacked by other people.
We get up to the checkout and there are
only 2 lanes open and about 1o people in
each lane. It's been like this the last couple
of times we've been there. You would think
during Christmas time there would be more
checkouts open. We finally went over
to the service desk and checked out!
----------------------------------------------

Anyone needing that Enfamil Premium for
Toddlers that I posted a $5.00 coupon for above?
I saw some large cans in the markdown
bin at Kroger on Henderson for $10
with coupon would make it $5.00!!

10:45pm

Just made some rice krispies peppermint bark.
I melted some white chips and/or white bark chocolate
and stirred in rice krispies cereal. Then stirred in broken
up peppermints. Pressed into a jelly roll pan
then sprinkled red sugar on top.
Will let this sit overnight to harden.
