Hi...it's me....Annie Grace...

We have received official written notification...the Thomas English Muffin Thieves are on route! Remember? Smitty and Babs......Pameleerrr's guardians? I am sure they have loaded up that minivan with all the tools necessary to conduct yet another heist while driving up from Florida. Coupons, Shaw's and Stop & Shop cards laminated, homemade shopping bags (to help save the environment...they are CONSCIENCES thieves) and weekly circulars piled high as they knock off about 8 states, depriving many families of their breakfast dough. With economic conditions in dire straights I am now concerned for bagels, bollo bread and muffins. I have suggested to The Lady that perhaps if they were concerned for the behavior of their own child? Shopping at Sephora in Chicago as the young Urchin has a dance recital? Martini Parties during a terrible storm? Bringing The Lady a lovely Sephora bag that when she opens it there is nothing but a book...to read and return? No tissue paper? Imagine the dismay to get a large Sephora bag, especially around the holidays and open it.......and see no product. Horrifying indeed! THEN Pameleeerrr proceeds to casually slip out of her large satchel with various NEW products that she aloofly says "Oh...I got this in Chicago...look it's Stila...shadow, liner and smudger...all in one." Next it's a fabulous new shade of Benefit lip stick and gloss all in one. Once I heard about this episode I also had a pit in my stomach...just like The Lady who is now rummaging in her luggage thinking that maybe there is some product she has forgotten about from the last time she traveled. There is not. So here we are....Sephoraless.....waiting.....
