LOL Teach - People used to ask me that about my kids. Furbabies are no different. Once they pull something which far over-shadows the cuteness, it's all over! I think chasing the skunk the 2nd time sort of did it! LOL Although when she's sick or scared, well....GAH!!! We had to have her watched for kennel cough when we got her because she was so friendly & popular at the shelter and got pet a lot - The sad puppy dog eyes and the "Lassie" paw - always had one paw cocked up and the kissing...well.. she was just so loved!

I could never say no to those eyes!

Trying to catch up...so busy, Xmas, men putting in shutters today, more shopping, planning xmas meal etc. So get this...I am at Robinson's-May and I ask the woman sales clerk (my age)...

"Excuse me do you have pastry bags?"

She says "Pastry bags....to do...what???..."

I say, "Pastry bag for like for cookies but I want to use it to pipe potatoes on a plate."

She says.."Oh..." and proceeds to show me the refill bags for the Seal A Meal Machine.

"No...", I say..." Not bags to seal food in..the kind you fill and has a tip in the end..."

"Oh... yes", she says, quickly walking over to another isle..."We have these..." she says as she points to a box. I look at the box and it is the small torches to make Creme Brule`...

"Uhhhh....that's a torch....I want a pastry bag..."

"Oh...ok... or we have this over here...." She points to a new box...although she IS closer...this time it is a cookie press!

"Uhhhh...that's a cookie press. I want to pipe potatoes..."

She interrupts me..."Well I am sorry THAT is ALL we have!".....

I back away laughing......

OMG, Since, what mall was this? I ask so I can stay away!!! That is so pathetic I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. Both, right?!

And Watching, I love the eyes and the "I'm totally innocent, Mom!" expression! What a cutie!

It's 72 degrees here right now. I've just put my hoodie on a chair - I think it's too warm for even the kitties to curl up on it, but maybe later... I have a feeling I won't be needing it until next week.

I second that OMG, since!

Isn't it refreshing to have such wonderful customer service from Joely? I mean folks just don't care anymore. It is sad that good customer service is so hard to find now.

I love all the pics you all post. Did someone give Bonzacat the week off? I am missing my Bonza pics! lol

I might be getting a digital camera soon so hopefully I can join on the fun soon. My brother is going to give me his camera when he buys a new one. The one he has is great - just to big for him. Yeah for me!

Yes- I had to return our double throw as it was an unusual shedder and repeated washings did not help. Joely sent the replacement and we have not even had a chance to return our blanket! I haven't had such caring and attention to detail in a long long time.

Guys I need help- I am trying to find angel chimes- those brass things you put four candles in and angels go round and round when the candles are lit ringing bells. I know a zillion places online but my neice needs to find them and we couldn't find a brick and mortar place to buy them. Any ideas???

meggie, what do you mean by an unusual shedder for your throw?

i sent my FIL another robe, not the CC robe i intended to give him.

i really don't know what to do with that robe. i visited Nordstrom's last Saturday. the "SAME" robe was different than the one i received.

so, do you think, some robes are different quality than others? my robe is still sitting in the box. i love the material and color...but there are snags and it looks "old". i don't how else to explain it.

dh and i are thinking maybe we should have paid more for a blanket instead. however, $120 for a robe, there should not be any snags imo.

i'm really sorry. i hate to complain here. but it is true. i know this will make "some of you" angry that i don't agree with the quality of the robe. sorry,

Abby if it is not what you expect return it immediately. I have ordered 2 robes, 2 hoodies and a baby blanket and have been very happy with all. If it doesn't meet your expectations or needs and you have ordered from Joely - no problem.

Any slight problem I've had I've dealt with Joely directly and have absolutely NO complaint.

Our blanket left little pieces of material on our bed. We washed it several times and it continued to leave them- Joely exchanged it immediately for a new blanket even though our blanket had been an extra that was a special deal. In addition, it has been quite some time since we got the blanket and she honors our word that it was that way when we got it. She's a star.

By the way Sea- the dollar you sent back to Zach got here YESTERDAY! It was postmarked November 30th! Isn't that bizarre?

Bonza - It looks like you're dreaming of the SNOW GLOBE that I saw in Rite Aid today. They're selling off the store display which is a fraction of the size of the big out-door one for 14.99. All I could think of was you all and the discussion of tacky Christmas decorations. I felt like I should have bought it for someone! LOL

Oh - And Kellie totally gives away when she's naughty. She literally slinks with her head down and gets in her bed or under the table. LOL

Yesterday I was shopping at JC Penney and I just had to feel all the robes to see if any were "close" to the BFD CC in the way they felt. Well, remember how I said DH and DS were saying the CC robe felt like "rubber" or "sticky" or "weird?" Well, the two robes that felt the closest to CC I could FEEL what they meant, but I don't feel it on the CC. It's hard to explain what it feels like, but I know what they meant by it not feeling like "normal" fabric. So many fabrics are synthetic but that's the closest word I can come up with as to how it feels.

Also, all 3 of "us girls" are going to be matching in SLATE hoodies. The last one I ordered for my oldest DD arrived today. At least they both are getting at least one item in the original wrapping - one, the robe, the other, the hoodie. Of course both of mine are NOT that way, but isn't that how it works for moms most of the time anyway? We make sure the "kids" get their stuff in the best possible and then take what we can for ourselves. Well, a lot of the time.. LOL

Since - Ayieeeeeeeeeee about the store clerk. It had to be hard to not laugh at her or want to tell her she was .......... ok insert not so nice word there. LOL

Since - lmao over your story. That is unbelievable! Knock, knock...helloooo...anybody home? lol that kills me that she pointed at torch, out of all of those. Bzzzt. Wrong again!

Bonza - are you still sweltering during these first days of winter? Hope it cools down for the weekend. lol on Bonza boy's wish for a snowglobe...I think that is the exact one that is in the nearby neighborhood here! The people finally got it back up a few days ago, but they left the snow off. Last night we were happy to see the snow going strong.

Watching - don't you love that slate color? Just think, a few more days and no more wearing your hoodie in secret!

Lovin' all the adorable pet photos - keep 'em coming! I just love little brown doggie eyebrows - which my adoring Rotty had. One up, one down...other up, other down. Those just make me melt.

Watching~ Yes, it was hard not to say something to that clerk! I tell you...some people! I could never get mad at that Kelly face!

Dlmmo~Can't wait till you get that camera!

Julip~Yep, the torch was the best one...I may have rolled my eyes on that one!LOL!

I am glad Zachy didn't know about the snow globe being on sale he would have had me call you to buy it. After seeing the inflateable stuff I decided it just doesn't work with our pretty light display to have something so tacky! We love our inflated pumpkin and ghosts at Halloween but I have my limits, lol.

Since, I was rofl when I read your story.. hearing it in your voice made it even better! Wish I'd been along for THAT shopping trip..

Ah, Meggie! Cat Heaven looks so inviting! I remember walking in that gate just over a year ago for our first meeting.

Since - there are just no words - you just can't get find good help these days, right?

Dimmo - take a million pictures of everything when you get the camera! That's what I do. People hate to see me coming but it's OK - capture the moments!

Watching - the fabrics that are like CC™, some of the similar ones feel "funny" to me also, as you report. With a manmade fabric, there can really be differences. Barefoot Dreams® is one of the companies that has managed to make that fabric dreamy, not sticky. Sounds like Lullabee has gotten it right, also. And those World Softest Socks from Costo - right again!

Julip - Once again it will be in the high 70's today. No snowglobe or stone infant hoodie for the Bonz. Yikes!
