Breaking News!!!!

Okay, so everyone may not agree with me here, but I think what I'm about to share is Breaking News. I'm frankly amazed that Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric hasn't broken into regular scheduled programming to alert us all to this Breaking News, which leads me to believe that many people may not find it as horrifying as I do.

Are you sitting down?

Ready?

There is a pumpkin shortage! A pumpkin shortage at Thanksgiving! Seriously!

I went to Super Target to purchase this...

I was contemplating making Paula Deen's pumpkin cake. You see, this time of the year I'm all about anything pumpkin... pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin milkshakes, pumpkin smelling hand soap, pumpkin candles... I think you get the picture.

Anyway, I was going to make a pumpkin cake and needed 15 oz. of canned pumpkin. I found nothing but an empty shelf and a note saying that due to bad weather and growing conditions this year, there was going to be shortage of pumpkin through the holidays. Which brings me back to the question, Isn't a shortage of pumpkin and thus no Pumpkin Pie a national crisis? I bet if they had ran out of hot dogs at the World Series we would have been hearing about it.

I made a stop by Albertsons and bought the last cans on the shelf. I wish they had had more. I was contemplating buying it all and putting it up for sale on E-bay. I bet I could have paid for Christmas!

So, since Charlie and Katie are dropping the ball on this one, I wanted to let you know about the shortage and that you should start looking for your canned pumpkin right now. If they are already running out at stores can you imagine the situation as we get closer to Thanksgiving?

Wow, I better get to the store. I had no idea. Thanks for alerting me. This would have been a very hard lesson to learn on the day before Thanksgiving.

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
