Oh my goodness, I just realized I haven't posted anything since the end of October, it has been a whole freaking month...so much has happened...I have dropped about a 100 pounds the kids are all starting college....wait....that isn't right!! It was only a month, not a decade. So let's see what has really been going on....I had a birthday, so I am officially another year older. Getting closer and closer to that 40 mark and I can't stop it. Thanksgiving was great, it was just the 3 of us this year, the boys were with their dad and since I am still not talking to my mother, we didn't have the big family dinner this year. Chris and I made the dinner all by ourselves and for newbies at it.... I have to say we did a pretty darn good job!! It was tasty and didn't kill us so that is always a plus.
The kids are all doing good in school, got report cards, no failing grades this time at all from any of them....WOOHOO!!! So someone is doing something right. Chris and I decided to go shopping on Black Friday, now mind you this is not something we normally do, we are not shoppers by nature, we just go in, get what we need and back out. So up we get at 3:45 am and get ready to hit it. We get to Walmart at about 4:45 and the place is packed, everything is lined up down the center aisles, still wrapped in black plastic with just hordes of people crowded around each pod as if it was going to be the Virgin Mary step out of one.
So 5:00 am hits and now I didn't get to see this, but my darling husband was standing off at a distance so he had a better view than me who was in the thick of it, you could hear this roar from the back of the store that was making its way to the front like a rolling tidal wave, black plastic ripping...people grabbing and snatching like vultures on a dead possum. I was waiting on some 4.00 pjs, to which about 75 more people were clamoring for, I got scared...that's right I am not afraid to admit it... I was afraid I was going to be snatched bald for a pair of 4 dollar pjs. I just backed out and made my way back to Chris. It was at just about this point that I realized....you know what....I really don't have that hunting and gathering mentality, if we ever saw the really bad times were we had to fight for our food....well it could be a great weight loss program for me.
So after this madness you would think, go home right....nope we stayed out amongst these crazy people all day. We finally got home and sit down and were like a couple of old people, went to bed at around 8 only after we had both fell asleep on the couch and recliner too many times to count. We slept like babies that night.
Oh well, till next time....be sweet and don't get caught up in the hype...it will be on sale again before Christmas.
