Black Friday




It is family tradition to be those "crazy people", as my mother in law would say, to wait in line, fight the crowds, and get the deals.  I took a newbie to the Black Friday adventure out with me.  Our first stop was Toys R Us.  They were scheduled to to open at 10 pm on Thanksgiving.  We arrived at 9:30, saw the massive line, and decided to forget about it.  So, we headed over early to Target.  Now, Target didn't open until 5 am the next day, but we were there and in line by 11 pm.  We both got everything that we were shopping for and headed over to Belk.  They had a great sale on clothes, so I stocked up for all of the kids.  Needless to say, I had all of my shopping done and I was back home in bed by 8:30.  The one thing that I have learned is that I am getting too old to be staying up all night to get the deals.  Happy Black Friday and bring on Cyber Monday!!

Thankful

Thanksgiving 2010 was a very relaxing day.  With Taris still deployed, I did not receive any visitors to entertain.  I spent my holiday at home and had lunch with my neighbors and some friends.  I volunteered to make my yeast rolls, my favorite side dish, green bean casserole, and every ones favorite...homey baked ham.  It was a great day and I could not have asked for better company...well maybe Taris there with us.  I didn't take a lot of pictures.  I did bust out my tripod and attempted to take pictures of me working in the kitchen.  I discovered that my new fancy camera was not compatible with my shutter remote.  So, all of my pictures of me are a little blurry, but they are what I have, so enjoy.

Still Here

Wow!  It has almost been a month since I last wrote on this thing!  I am so sorry that I have been MIA.  I am adjusting to our new normal these days with Roxanne, single parenting, and juggling all of the day to day activities.  I promise, I have things to write about.  My life has not been super exciting, but I do have things that I need to document.  Besides, I always find writing on the blog to be very cathartic...and lets face it, these days I need it!  More to come soon...I promise.
