RETIRED: Target chit chat

MAMA2 Cole : On easter bunny and T , kids are too darn smart.

Sounds like things are moving at lightning speed , sounds like yard sale rocked yeah!

Change of plans - on the way there, Eva threw up all over herself and her carseat. So gross. First time that has happened in a very long time. Got her cleaned up, now to clean up the carseat...

Lightning speed doesn't begin to describe it. 11 days and counting. Now that Easter is over I'm kicking it into high gear. I was close to a nervous breakdown this morning, but some fancy coffee and a few deep breaths brought me down off my ledge!

My little people got tons of T goodies. I spent much of last night peeling red clearance stickers of their stuff.

This breaks my heart! Prayers for the girls and your family as you comfort and support them.

There seems to be quite a bit of snarkiness regarding other topics in this thread lately. Whatever floats your boats peeps.

If that was a J'ailMe Kirlew comment, she was shopping at a Safeway and not a Kroger. Nathan and others were Kroger.

Our forecast is pretty much rain all week. Again. It's sunny and pretty right now, but supposed to cloud up and rain this afternoon. I should be outside doing something but it's still darn chilly. Especially since most of what I need to do involves messing with water -- cleaning and getting the little pond going and vacuuming the pool. No big hurry to get the chairs/cushions or the gazebo canvas up since it doesn't look like I'll be outside this week!

Gonna go to Target later this week -- maybe Wednesday. Can't really think of anything exciting about that. I will check there and WM for the ??? is it Nivea body wash we have $3 coupons for? Whatever it is, I haven't cut last week's but I'm sure I have some. I need meat but that's just expensive, not fun.

Our fishing trip is less than a month away but I can't even think of any shopping I need to do for that. Granola bars are nice to throw in the boat. I could use a super cheap deal on those.
Oven Bags. I won't cook a turkey any other way and they work great for hams too. The amount of drippings you end up with is excellent.
Bunnies!! I have to say, you are looking very springy today. Glad to see you perked up.
You can probably move it alright. Granted, transplanting before it starts blooming is better, but it doesn't make it impossible. Stick your spade down in the dirt as far as you can all the way around it and then lift the whole root ball. I'd leave the dirt around it but if it all falls off, don't worry about it. Just stick the root end in a bag or bucket to keep your car clean and replant as quickly as you can. If you can dig up and replant the same day, it would be better but a day or so will be fine too. Keep it in the shade -- or at least out of direct, hot sunlight -- while it's not planted.
Well, in that case it won't work. I'm convinced that those are magic boots. They change coupons into what ever you want them to be.

what kind of fishing trip are you taking?

I have boneless skinless chicken breasts and Muir Glen Fire Roasted tomatoes. Help. I need an easy recipe

Got 2 Haagen Dazs ice cream, one for me and one for DH. I can't believe he ate the whole thing!

My daughter used to get car sick occasionally. I started carrying a big plastic margarine tub with a lid. It was kept within her reach. Ice cream buckets are nice but they are sometimes kind of big for little hands to hold on to.
We find a resort and rent a cabin for a week. Now, when I say resort, don't think fancy smancy. I mean small housekeeping cabins on a lake. Indoor plumbing IS required. Most of them provide a boat and you can either rent their motor or take your own. We rent theirs. If it croaks, my vacation isn't ruined. This is our third year to go and we have gone to a different area each time.

We spend some time a few days -- and there is usually one day the weather refuses to let me fish -- that we check out the little towns and do regular touristy stuff. I like art galleries -- small, local, original art.
Ummmmm.... throw some rice, a can of Cream of Something or tomatosoup , and some milk in a 9 x 13 pan and wisk it together. Just toss the chicken on top -- or since you have little ones, cut it into bite size pieces and throw on top or mix in the rice. Dump the tomatoes over the top. Cover with foil bake for an hour or so. If you feel the need to force vegetable on your poor unsuspecting children dump something in the rice. Mixed veggies work nicely.

I just cook the tomatoes with some garlic and whatever else, like peppers, herbs,etc. Then cook the chicken and serve over pasta. You can add cheese too. Here's a recipe I found that is pretty close to how I have made it before, and it's good. Best thing though, you can really substitute ingredients to what you have on hand.

that sounds awesome! right up my alley for sure. We rent a cabin every summer in the mountains and hike. I love a change of scenery and some outdoor time

Remember the awesome Muir Glen coupon from ages ago?
