I had a busy weekend in Atlanta. I went to market to buy for the gift shop (at our salon/spa). It is always loads of fun. My best friends, Lorie, Juju, Laura and Judy go with me. We spend a couple of nights there. It is the ultimate shopping trip. Hope I bought good things. We sell mostly purses and jewelry along with a few other items. They have already started arriving. It is quite a job to get them in the computer, tagged and displayed. Fun, but lots of work. We had a couple of really good meals while we were there. Cheesecake factory one night and Papasittas the other night. We always have Mexican no matter where we travel.

Tuesday was my day to have the boys. We stayed in mostly. Made hot chocolate and baked cookies. Seems like alot I do revolves around food. I love it. Thomas blew into his hot chocolate to cool it off and blew too hard. It was really funny. He ended up with spots of hot chocolate on his face.

Our salon has stayed pretty busy during the last few months. I am thankful. There is alot of talk in our area about layoffs and businesses closing due to the economy. My husbands business is in construction and they have been pretty slow. There aren't too many builders building in our area right now. God has provided work for them just about everyday tho. We are thankful. We are praying it picks up in the spring. Thank you Lord for your provisions. He is always faithful.

Hope you are having a great winter. We have had an arctic blast today. The low tonight is going to be 7 degrees. BRRRRRRR! Stay warm.

Tomorrow I am planning on spending the evening with my best friends. Always a treat. Saturday and Sunday I get to spend with Laura, Jason, Thomas and Cooper. Another fun weekend. Blessings Memaw Barbie
