In preparation for this three day weekend, I went grocery shopping right after work tonight. It actually is a good thing to consider doing in the future, because the hub HATES shopping at this store...but it is the most reasonably priced in town- AND it is two blocks from my job.
I spent $118 and bought enough for the next week, plus got some stock up items and each of the grandbabies a Valentines treat!!
Ive had a tradition for holidays and birthdays here for as long as I can recall...of buying little powdered donuts and chocolate milk...and I decorate the dining room table with fun doodads for the occasion. I never buy chocolate milk and little donuts otherwise, so this is always a big hit. Total splurge and out of the ordinary.
Then, I stopped by Blockbuster and rented some movies for this weekend. CHeap entertainment...certainly less than going out. They had a huge selection of pre-viewed movies, so I also used part of my allowance to stock up my chick-clik collection. They had two of my FAVORITES that I didnt have - Ever After and Sense and Sensibility....so I was a happy camper.
Im looking forward to this long weekend with no particular plans. Sometimes FREE time, is the BEST time.

We have a few of these off the beaten path types of traditions too. It's all a part of making family memories. You're a good Mom & Gran!! Enjoy your movies.
