I swear it's like the night before Christmas, I don't sleep good then either. lol

I bet Jessica didn't sleep good last night either. lol

U know the lights that are supposed to always work, the ones Bill bought? I got 3 sets today, they all worked, put them up turned them on and a lot aren't working....could it be because they are shorting from being wrapped around the metal posts outside? I'm so PO'd at that right now.

Yes they were all piggybacked, 3 sets together....I will try that out although I'm not sure how to do the length I want to do without the piggybacking......*sighs* Thank the Wild Willy for me....I'll start one set from one end of the porch, and the other 2 sets from the other.

Well Cindy, I guess Valarie & I are Crazy too !!

We poured over the sale bills yesterday as our Thanksgiving Dinner digested.
When I left I said call me if we are going shopping.----

This AM I woke up at 4:30--but still had no call--so I slept 'til 6:25--Val called then & said meet me at Kohl's. We got all kinds of goodies.--I even got my sister an $85.00 necklace for $28.00. (I have her name in the family gift exchange) I got Valarie a $30.00 skirt for $11.00 and I bought her "The Magic Bullet" and saved about $30.00. YES!! (she has wanted one for about 4 years)

OH!! and I bought myself 2 gifts--(in the tradition of Loz's buy yourself a gift!! idea--- I got a small bottle of White Diamonds and a handled brush scrubber that holds dish soap--(yea I know it is useful--BUT I have been looking for one for about 10 years.)

And ya know what??? I had so much FUN!!! this should become a tradition!!!!

A Magic Bullet is that special/glorified Blender thing they advertise in the informercials on TV.--

Only problem is, my son bought THIS computer for himself. His died a couple of months ago. My OS system crashed and I had to install a new one this week so we both got new computers (sorta, in my case.) My son lives with us and we have a home network and will have access to his if I need it, but I'm HAPPY with my comp at present.

Magic bullets, I've watched that on tv...thought it was cool but since I don't really cook I doubut I'd use it much. But it sure does a lot.

Nana, did you get the $25 Lexmark all in one with the card slots? That's what I got today---installing it now...figured since ink costs about that much I may as weel upgrade my printer....my old lexmark all in one is twice the size of this new one. lol

COOOOOOL, Diane on getting out of bed and going and getting that TV that's awesome...such a great deal!

And Carol---very happy you went and enjoyed it....isn't it fun in a crazy sorta way? Cindy doesn't know what she's missing. lol

Uploading videos very soon---I feel like a zombie.

Oh and Thorny I saw that computer deal at best buy.....I was amazed that you got that computer and and all in one printer for that price. Glad he got it...I'd camp out all night for that deal if I needed one.

We went shopping yesterday in Isle of Palms and North Charleston, SC and it wasn't crowded at all. I bought a pair of pants - not on sale. We didn't see a lot of stuff on a great sale.

Hi Tamara I have been exhausted since my daughter took me shopping on Black Friday. We didn't hit usual stores but went to craft stores and I found 3 different cloth with birds on them to use on my bird quilt i am trying to make. Finding the cloth with birds the right size is the hardest part. lol So I was very happy to find them flwr Now to find time to quilt why didn't buy anything for anyone else though. I do a lot of homemade gifts.

Well I am one of those crazies!!! I was up at 4 am...got ready real quick and my mom and I headed out! I got so much stuff! I posted some of this in the BF topic but my mom and I had the car so full I don't think we could have fit another thing in there. I got lots of movies for Tristen and some for my self that we really cheap. We were at Target and they had 3.98 and 5.98 movies. I didn't get the sewing machine at Wal-Mart but there was a Singer at Target for $65 and my mom got me that for Christmas. I got James some thick socks (don't really know what they are called) at Scheels for 99 cents a pair. The regular price on those were 5.99 a pair. I got 3 - 2 packs of Ralph Lauren pillows at Herberger's for 12.97 a pack and they were normally 49.99. I got a 3 handset cordless phone at Target for $44. I also got one for James' parents because their answering machine quit working on theirs and it was time for a new one. I got way more than just that but I can't think of everything right now. lol We shopped for hours and then went to Perkins for breaksfast. It was a good day and I spent LOTS of money!!! Now I am broke! lol

Ahhhh, I wish we had a target--I really want a 3 set cordless phone system...the one I have now is only 2 and I wanted the 3 set one so I could put a phone in the basement.

It sounds like you did super Jess.....I was up at 3:30 and at moms by 4:15.....we shopped from 4:30 to about 10:30 I think, so that's a good solid 6 hours of early shopping. lol

I bet you can't wait to get that sewing machine huh? lol

We stopped at Burger King to eat, I had coupons for buy one breakfast sandwich get one free....we each ate two, we were starving. lol

I was starving too! Shopping takes a lot out of a person! lol

I am excited to get the sewing machine. I wish my mom would just give it to me right now since I already know what I am getting. But...I guess I can wait till Christmas. I'm trying to decide what I am going to try to make first. I haven't used a sewing machine in a looooong time! I guess I will have to buy some supplies.

We did get a lot of good deals. I don't remember them all to list them but we did good.

How did it go with your sister shopping with you?

It was great, I thought she'd be slow and whiney...maybe not quick enough you know? Me and mom zip around fast, we don't dilly dally on Black Friday. I think she really enjoyed it.

OMG, I haven't sewed since Home Ec. in 8th grade, we had to make Jam Shorts, those longer funky patterened shorts and mine were TERRIBLE....I think I got a C on them, got the pocket sewed on the back but never hemmed them out....Sewing was not a friend of mine. lol

I'm telling you, by the time we sat down to eat my stomach was ready to eat itself I was so starving.... lol

But it comes around fast Loz! thumbup But I know what you mean because I get sad when Christmas is done. It is my favorite holiday and it is sad when it is done for another year. We prepare for it for so long and in a day it is done! Kind of like a wedding I guess. lol lol

Italian is my favorite food too! We had breakfast at Perkins. That was good too.

That is great that your sister kept up with your and your mom and had a good time! Maybe she will go with you every year now?!?
