Shopping Around the World – Mark Your Calendars

Shopping Around the World is so much fun to see the various prices around the world!

Me and my pal Fozzie started Shopping Around the World in April.  This has become a huge hit and we all want to know if we are paying more or less than everyone else – snorts.  We are going to do it again this month on Wednesday, December 31st.

.

Do a posting on your blog linked back to mine.  That way we can keep track of all of the different prices.  It should be interesting to see the differences between.  Mark your calendar so you can do a posting with us.

Items to price this month:

• Soup – It is that time of the year here in the States for soup – shivers.  What is your favorite can/container to buy and how much is it?
• Christmas Trees – Since it’s Christmas time, how much are real trees going for in your area?
• Cold Medicine – Tis the season to get sick 🙂 Mom has had to buy some for daddy lately and she couldn’t believe the price of it – OMP!  List what kind you normally keep on hand/price.
• Hot Drink – During the cold season, what do you keep on hand for something hot – whether it’s coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot toddy, etc.  Name what you have/price
• Random Item of your choice.

Come join the fun of Shopping Around the World – mark your calendars

Wednesday, December 31st.

Thank you very much for your ideas for the monthly listing. If you have any more suggestions to be added to my on-going list, please email them to me.

Houdini Update

 Happy Friday my friends!!  Didn’t this week seem like the longest week EVER!?  Maybe it was because last week was a short week due to the holiday. I’m not sure but I’m ready for the weekend and some mommy time.  What about you my friends?

I thought I would give you an update on the little guy here – Houdini.  He’s growing like Kudzo – snorts.  I do believe he is a little over 6 pounds now – can you believe that?  Notice this picture to the left of little Hoo-Hoo laying down.

Mommy just loves the way he lays down with his back feet out behind him.  I do that at times as well.  Rolls piggy eyes – she has a fit over us when she sees us like this.  I have to admit that he does kind of look cute.  But don’t let his cuteness fool you.  He does have a mean streak.  You’re saying No Way.  Let me present to you exhibit A.

Mouse Girl was minding her own business on the couch.  Houdini thought she needed a massage.  Sweet huh?  Mouse Girl didn’t think so.  She let him do it for a while… and secretly I think she liked it until mom and dad noticed.  Then she started howling like Houdini was killing her.  Really?  MG makes like 3-4 times Houdini’s.  But hey I gotta say – look at Houdini’s tail – Now *that* is the cutest thing I’ve seen in some time.  And when he wags it – OMP!  Mommy says it goes 90 miles per minute.  Reminds me of someone else who knows how to work their tail… looks innocently.

.

 And I have to admit that I am so glad that Houdini is here at the Hotel Thompson.  Thank goodness mommy has someone else to dress up other than this piggy now.  This is Houdini in his Thanksgiving pajama onsie.  And nods head yes… that is a teddy bear on his butt.  Shakes piggy head – better him than me – THANK GOODNESS.

Snorts – so there you go for your Houdini update.  He’s growing.  We are all getting used to him more – especially Mouse Girl.  I think she has taken to the little guy and kind of caters to him like he’s her baby.  Sweet huh?
