Thanksgiving and Stuff

Whew! November went by fast! We had a great Thanksgiving Day with Mike's family at Uncle John's with lots of family, food, and feasting! Sam spent Wednesday night with us and went to her dad's for dinner. The rest of us spent the evening stuffed like a turkey, but happy and content.

I did a little shopping on Black Friday, but found there wasn't much that I wanted that I couldn't find online for cheaper with free shipping! I scored a few good deals at Amazon...Next year, check out www.bfads.net. They have great posts on the ads before they come out and also post the online deals that start on Thanksgiving Day. This year we had already shopped by the time we went to Thanksgiving Dinner. How easy is that?!!?

Saturday Mike went to get all our Christmas lights and found that most were broken. We had these really awesome big lights that Walmart only sold for one year. I guess it is because they don't stand up to the test of time. I miss the big lights. They were so pretty. So, we bought all new mini lights. It's just not the same...now we look like everybody else. We also spent some time at the city park so Marly and Chris could Rollerblade. The weather has been great!

Work has been C-R-A-Z-Y with the store being a huge mess. I just can't believe how messy holiday shoppers are. Most people just throw everything on the floor, trample on it, and then leave behind them a wake of rumpled up stuff. I just have to say, if you are one of those people you are causing the prices of what you buy to go up because the store has to pay people like me to go behind you and clean up after you. And, please be nice to your store employees. They are most likely new seasonal hires who don't know ANYTHING because they did not get any training.

Just my loud mouth .02 worth...
