Boxes and Bacon

We're a little slow on blog news around here, so here's a couple random things.

Isn't it nice to get something besides bills in the mail?  It's especially nice to get boxes in the mail.  Lance would probably disagree.  The picture below is what greeted me when I opened our front door one afternoon.

Lance would say it's not fun to get boxes in the mail because a bill in the mail quickly follows!  I have been doing quite a bit of online shopping.  Sometimes for a better selection and sometimes for cheaper prices.  But mainly for the convenience.  It's not fun shopping with two kiddos and it's hard to find time to go without them.  Plus, I can search multiple stores in minutes, and it would take much longer if I had to drive to multiple stores.  I can't even say this is early Christmas shopping.  If I'm buying clothes, I usually get a couple different sizes and colors.  I've ordered several comforters and still haven't found one I like.  This creates quite a bit of return inventory and lots of receipts to keep track of since everything seems to get shipped separately.  Lance suggested I hire a secretary to manage my online buying. 

That's bacon on top of our garbage can.  How did it get there?  We're not sure.  Lance threw away some old bacon in the garbage.  The next morning, it was on top of the recyling bin, and the bacon package was sticking out of the garbage lid.  Hmm.....
