completed christmas shopping....

Completed Christmas shopping today...I just shopped locally small town, didn't wish to drive too far, and be near crowds, too much exhaustion with me, so anyway, just drove nearby and that completed my shopping.....

I am relieved to have that all accomplished! now I have to wrap them and attach the bows & name tags.....BEFORE sunday.....

Still I am very, very tired, and my appetite is not that good yet....

I was able to find something to enjoy for my upset stomach that is still ravaged from that violent flu.....I found those Jello brand-Pudding PoP kits that you create at home....they are good for my stomach right now!....I have only created the vanilla ones lately.....sounds odd but they are very good for me right now in winter time, with upset tummy!.....Lol.......

They are fun to create and they are about $5/kit....it has 2 boxes of pudding...vanilla and chocolate....and a mold that you can pour/create 6 pudding pops, freeze, you have to add milk to the pudding you know.....It had the red pudding pop stems you place in the tops after pouring and you need to be very careful with these after freezing to remove your pudding pops!.....run warm water over the bottom of the pops before yanking on the red stems! they can break easily...not very strong.....

I am keeping my mold kit and all red stems in a plastic Ziploc bag for storing....don't lose them I say!...I cannot wait to purchase other boxes of pudding and create other kinds of pops...IF diabetic you could purchase sugar free pudding and create these pudding pops for those with diabetes!....have fun! nice for spring & summer....create at home
