I am already excited about holiday shopping!!

One of my favorite days of the year is BLACK FRIDAY!!! I am sure many of you can relate! We love to shop! It's one of my favorite things to, especially when I can find good bargains. There is an awesome site that has all the store ads in one place! I love to browse them all, and map out my game plan for the day. Sound silly? No way! You need a plan on Black Friday! This site is by far the best cyber monday . It is very well laid out, and very easy to navigate!

One of my favorite places to shop on Black Friday is Circuit City! You can get some insanely good deals. I have picked up DVD's there for 3-4$ a piece, what a bargain - makes awesome stocking stuffers! Here is their ad Circuit City

Great deals their on electronics as well! I buy a ton of clothes on Black Friday as well! I have picked up sweaters for under 5 bucks, jeans, shoes, etc...I do ALL of my Christmas shopping on this fabulous day! I think it needs to be it's on Holiday! Some of my friends and family work this day, I feel sorry for them! Of course every year, someone will see something they want in a Black Friday ad and ask me to pick it up for them! No way! Cutting into my shopping time LOL! I also pick up a lot of household items for myself this day, things for the pets, and much more! I am counting down the days...see ya there

So yes it is worth the crowds! It is worth the rude people shoving and yelling, and trying to beat each other to the "deals"! Of course I don't act like that...and I encourage you to behave as well ;). It is supposed to be fun! If I miss a deal, so what - there are plenty more! Start checking out the ads now! I like to print them out closer to the day, and cut out the places I want to shop at, then decide my order. I think I got it down to a science!

Dark and rainy today!

The PERFECT weather for relaxing on the couch, with my dog and a good book! I love days like this! My 2nd class of the day was cancelled, and I really don't have much to do. NICE timing!

About time...

I have been driving around with dings all over my car for nearly a year! I have been browsing around for an auto body repair company for a few days. I contacted this company auto body repair and they already responded! Awesome customer service, and their prices are very comparable. I can't wait to get my car in, driving around like this is embarrassing!!

Sunday!

Already! Today I am just bumming around. I did LOTS of homework, some cleaning and cooked. I really need to get groceries...but that can wait for tomorrow.

Last night was Philip's 30th Birthday party! We had lots of fun! He has some awesome friends that I had not met. All in all, it was a pretty fabulous weekend.

Friday!

Is finally here!

It has been a longgggg week! But a fabulous week, being back in college is awesome! I like my classes for the most part!

Tonight is Heather's birthday party! We are leaving in about an hour to head over there, I need to stop and get her a present though. I made chocolate covered strawberries to take, and will bring wine, beer and some spinach dip (store bought). Should be a fun evening with good friends, good find, and good conversation :)!

Almost time...

for school to start!!! It's been nice having some time off, but I am so ready to go back to college! It will take me about 2 years to get a degree in Network Administration...but that will go by fast!

This week I had a list of projects, now it is Thursday and I really have not done much. Oh well such is life! It was nothing that important anyway.

What a fabulous weekend!

Scott's birthday was Friday! We had a fairly quiet night, he opened presents (which he loved) then we went out! We met a few friends at Irish Rover for beer and appetizers. Nothing to crazy, didn't want to be hungover for Saturday ;).

Saturday night we met about a dozen people at BBC for drinks, then headed over to Stevie Ray's! It was a nice turnout! Friends, great cocktails, live music...what more could you ask for!

I usually dread Mondays! But not this week! I am not working at that job anymore...so this week I will clean house, do some painting, run errands and get ready to go back to school! COLLEGE STARTS AUGUST 18th!! WOOHOOO!!

This week has been rather uneventful! I was so hoping this would be my last week at work...but they have not hired anyone yet - even thought 40+ people applied! Worst case scenario I am stuck there until next Friday. I can handle that I suppose!

Tomorrow is Scott's Birthday! He will be 35 :D. Poor guy is getting a root canal on his birthday, so no huge plans! He can open his presents, then we may go out for drinks. The celebration is planned for Saturday, lots of friends, good food, good beer, and good live music!

I got a card in the mail yesterday...

I got a card in the mail yesterday..
from my Grandmother. I sent her some cookies for her birthday and she sent me a thank you note. I think she is 78, not really sure. Anyway, thought you may get a kick out of what this Grandmother writes about LOL!

Dear Michelle,

Thanks for my favorite cookies - I've spent the last 2 days eating till I felt ill, haha (then she drew a picture of some animal and wrote "Fat dancing deer" - huh)! Nothing new here, except I got a couple new tatoos (my flash, of course!!) for my birthday. I'm running out of skin that's in good enough shape to ink. My next one will proably be "Do NOT resuscitate" haha! Also I did alter a few myself slightly, but # gauge single needle - no gun.

Alex (my 16 year old cousin) made a tatoo gun out of a broken c.d. player with instructions off the internet. Gina (his mom) gave him a lecture about sterile practices with a home made gune you have to put on a new needle/guitar string/whatever and a new barrel (usually a bic pen) for every person. If its for your own personal use, you only have to boil the needle for a 1/2 hour.

We have a "new" cat - 16 yr. old who came here weighing 2.5lbs - she is now up to her normal 5.5 (VERY small cat) and on hyperthyroid RX. Her old owner turned her chip number over to us, as they thought she was dying of old age and aren't really all that into cats anyhow, they have 1 dog 2 autistic sons. Love forever, Grandma she also drew a picture of a motorcyle at the bottom...
