I am so easily manipulated. The news said there would be a pumpkin shortage and that canned pumpkins would be hard to find. I ran out immediately and bought a few cans. I never actually use canned pumpkins, but I was sure if they didn’t have them I would need them. I put them right next to the five year old cans I already had in the cupboard. There was another rumor that there would be a turkey shortage because of the avian flu. I ran out immediately again (apparently I do actually run a bit) and bought my turkey. Still plenty in the stores now. Hmmph! BUT…no one said that this year the Lego Advent Calendars would be so popular and that they would run out a week before Thanksgiving. WHAT??!!! They never run out! This year they did and I missed them. Now my poor baby bassets will feel unloved. Oh well…here’s some candy kids.
