Had a productive 'shopping' day today. It's my day off and also my sister's birthday, so I had to go into town to get her present. There's a bag she saw at Target that she really wanted, and she's NOT a bag kind of person! Small messenger type, canvas, camo....they still had one left! So picked up that and a funny birthday card for her. Stopped at another store and picked up an Irn Bru to go with it because she loves Irn Bru but doesn't treat herself to one very often. (And a diet Irn Bru for me...and a Curly Wurly...
) Then popped in to Bath and Body Works just because I was close by. They had a new 'Cinnamint' Mentha lip gloss advertised. I've ALWAYS loved the combination of cinnamon and peppermint. But alas...the display was empty. Asked the saleswoman if they had any more and she said no but would I like to try a sample. So...when she reached in her pocket for the sample tube, she found a brand new, still sealed, unopened tube of the Cinnamint! AND...the mentha lip glosses were on sale! Double score!!! Finally, shopped around for some temporary health insurance for the kiddos, as they're going to stay w/my parents for a month while I get things set up for us in Edinburgh. I don't want to leave my parents in a position where they'd be financially responsible if something should happen to the kids in my absence. Found a policy for under $200 for the time period I need + a little buffer. Woohoo!
Total aside here...but does anyone else remember the gobstoppers you used to be able to get that alternated layers of really hot cinnamon with really strong peppermint? This was probably 25 years ago. I don't think they made them for very long, but I loved those!!! ![[smiley=smitten.gif]](https://www.talk.uk-yankee.com/Smileys/classic/smitten.gif "Smitten")
