Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Friday, November 25, 2005

This morning I was supposed to wake up at 5:30 to get to the Black Friday sale at Target by six. Um, that didn't exactly happen. When my MIL called at 10 to ask what I had accomplished, I could only claim making breakfast; getting dressed hadn't happened yet and I had not gotten any shopping done. Instead, I headed out during Nico's nap and was surprised at the ease in which I was able to purchase the items that I needed. It was great, I got a parking spot near the door and only had one person in front of me in the line. They still had the 'big gift' I wanted to get for Nicholas on the shelf and a few other things that I found at rock bottom prices. It was so easy, I proceeded to TJ Maxx afterward to try and finish off my x-mas shopping altogether. TJ Maxx looked like a hurricane hit it, but it was also pretty vacant. I finished off shopping for Nicholas (his gift from us at the super low discounted TJ Maxx cost) and got a couple of things for my mom. My shopping is now almost completed. I think I have this black Friday thing figured out: go around 2 when all of the suburban housewives are collapsing from exhaustion.

Our Thanksgiving yesterday was great. We headed down to San Antonio to have dinner with Maria and her family. We ate so much food that I think I tore a muscle in my stomach. It was so yummy and then we had dessert to contend with. The children really seem to enjoy each other's company and spent most of the day chasing each other around the house. Nicholas fell asleep right after we pulled out of the driveway. I, of course, forgot to take my camera with me so there are no pictures to be had, but I'm hoping to go to San Antonio a few more times before next semester since I know that is going to bring my social life to a grinding halt. I've got to have pictures of those two together.

Well, I better get cracking on real life, we are going to the Children Giving to Children parade and having people over for dinner tomorrow and I should at least attempt to put up the layer of toys on the floor. TTFN.

Glad to hear the shopping experience was pretty painless. I did some amazon shopping this morning and took Fiona for a haircut. That's as close to commerce as I came today. :) Mark was at work for 12 hours today. When are the holidays over?
