Christmas Catalogs

I got the J.C. Penny Christmas catalog the other day. I was truly surprised at how thin it was and how it look like a regular J.C. Penny catalog. Do you remember the big gigantic Sears Christmas Wish catalog; Spiegel oversized Christmas catalog; the big gigantic J.C. Penney catalog? Times sure has changed. I remember it took us several weeks to go through every page and mark all the things that we wanted for Christmas. We had to take turns but I believe we perused the catalog from October until December added items that we wanted. Because we were a single-parent low paying household, we knew we couldn't get 99% of the things we marked, but it was a wish and a dream. Today's J.C. Penny catalog - I perused it in under 3 hours without markings.

Brandy - The class went very well my day was okay.

Tori - Yes, the class was fun especially since I knew one of the girls and met another one who is a stand-up comedienne.

Marianne asked about my knees and you know it felt better after the class. I could probably do some of what I learn in between classes, but I like the motivation of the instructor.

Diane - I subscribe to CBS Eye-Lerts which lets me know what time the shows will air after the football game or a delay in programming.

Melissa - it's good to see you blog hopping and thanks.

Anne-Kathrine - I have a touch of arthritis in my knees.

Keri - you gotta love those Yankees. The true test will be when the face the Angels.
