how did he know i wanted subscription to the grosse pointe news? i haven't subscribed to the grosse pointe news in at least 2 years?!?!? so excited, i'm used to reading the online version every thursday, but the information is limited! it will be nice to have this in my mailbox every thursday for the next 52 week or so! YIPPEE!!!CURIOUS, DO YOU STILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER?
if you have been following my blog, you would know that i really don't want anything for christmas. pathetic, i know! ha! ha! after all, i am constantly shopping and treating myself to whatever i want, so for this subscription to my hometown newspaper to arrive is pretty awesome!
i wonder who bought us the subscription? hmmmmm, i have a few of guesses! ha! ha!
UPDATE: i opened up the gpnews to find out it was last thursday's issue? i should have known better than to think it was today's copy! ha! ha! ha!
speaking of hometown newspapers, what sections do you frequent? a few years ago when everyone was getting married it was the engagement section, then everyone started getting pregnant so it was the birth announcement section and now for some unknown reason i find myself checking out the obituaries...sheesh, what's up with that? ha! ha! then of course i check out the real estate section, but that's been pretty depressing for years!!!!
we still have our house in grosse pointe, but we have had it leased for the past 4 years. we bought during the height of the market and unfortunately our house has probably lost at least $125,000 worth of it's value [GULP!!!!] if we tried selling it today! totally sucks, but the man above has a plan for everyone so i know everything will work out in the end!
enough about the housing market, it turns me into debbie downer!
...so the boursin cheese and pretzel chips was a hit! i knew it would be, ha! ha! thanks to costco, i have 2 more things of boursin to share with friends and family over the holidays!
oh, i forgot to post this on sunday but did anyone who subscribes to the chicago tribune notice the $10 coupon from fannie may candies?!?!? just like last year, so of course i bought 3 more papers!!unfortunately, $10 doesn't go very far over at fannie may candies. i am not a fan of fannie may, but FREE is FREE ---- and you know i am all about FREE, who wouldn't be - DUH!!!
so i bought some hot chocolate and gummy bears....OOP cost a mere .53 cents!! can't beat it, lol!! i will admit i love their "mint" and "pixie" hot chocolate, along with their ice cream! YUMMY!!!
well, it's finally snowing out! we were supposed to get some snow last night and of course the weather guy was WRONG!!! ha! ha!oh well, have a great night!

I love that you read your local home town newspaper, my sil does that from India. When I lived abroad I read mine too (but only cause my mother mailed it to me). xoxo
