The Aftermath

It appears that I have managed to have survived Black Friday. Hmm...I dragged my little sister at 5:30 am to go to the mall to people watch and experience insanity at its best. I skipped Staples because when we were pulling up to the mall, there was a line wrapping around staples and going to the edge of the highway. to hell with that. We walked into the mall and waiting because there was a crowd waiting for the 250 gift bags to be dispersed at 6 am. Through dumb luck, I managed to grab one and received a free George Stait cd and a ten dollar mall gift card. It was funny because we were totally at the end of the group too and we didn't really care if we got one or not. We made a mad dash for the Gap and we were like the first couple of people in the store. I scored two new pairs of jeans and a sweater hoodie, and three shirts all 50 % off. I also got baby high tops for Baby L. SCORE!!! Gap = Happyness. We made the obligatory visit to JC Penney's to visit S who just started working there. He has to wear a tie and button upped shirts. It was worth it to see that. He wears sloppy Ts and shorts year rounds, stains or no stains. He is a hoot to be around but definitely not a fashionista. We peaked in at Bath and Body Works but that store was full of middle aged woman rooting around in bins so we didn't venture far in. Plus, they had a mega line at the counter and i hate waiting in lines in tiny stores. then we went to Waldenbooks, i got the new John grishman for 50 % off, and some books to finish off A-dolly's christmas gift. We headed over to Big Lots so my sis could pick up some $5 barbies for her friends' little girls. Our final stop in the spree was Hastings where I finally found the L Word Season 3. I was happy and i didn't give a shit that I had to pay full price. I also reserved the new sisterhood of the traveling pants book that comes out in january.


Then we got home only to find out that my dad had this INSANE idea for us to go see that penguin movie Happy Feet in Tulsa and then eat at Cracker Barrel. We had to take two cars and it was insane cause Tulsa is very bad on Black Friday and there was a couple of times when I thought my sister and I were going to be scrambled eggs on the BA expressway because people down here really suck at driving. We ended up having to see Happy feet on the imax screen because it wasn't showing on the regular screen. It was a cute movie, but I am not really the cutesy animated movie type. I would have been a lot better seeing something like Bobby or The Queen or The Pursuit of Happyness. I like dramas. we made it to cracker barrel and because it was such an odd time to be eating we only waited 30 mins for a table. we had to ask three times for silverware and all our side orders got screwed up. How we did not kill each other, I don't know. I am finally starting to recover, after two mountain dews, three rapid release extra strength tylenols and a whole shit load of orajel because apparently i have been chewing on the inside of my cheek while i sleep at night and so i have a really raw spot on the dominant side of my mouth. i know, i'm a mess.

I did make at least two more hats today. I have made 9 so far over thanksgiving break. Still depleting my stash yarn which is good because i need to make room in my tiny ass closet for my sexy ass Gap jeans.

Sunshine, I brought home a little surprise for you from the Cracker Barrel. Hint: A breakfast condiment.

have a great holiday, and remember girls, if you are feeling stressed out, go hug your yarn. You will feel a lot better! :)
