The Day Before Christmas Eve

Today I went to the grocery store...  it was a mad house.  I'm ready except for the last minute cleaning and cooking.  It's finally snowing...  it feels much more like Christmas.  For some reason I just wasn't feeling it this year.  I didn't make any candy.  I only made cut out cookies because Nicci insisted.  Maybe thats it.  I don't know. 

Mom and I went for walks every day this week because the temps were above 35 degrees, this is very rare for the week before Christmas.  

Tomorrow, my mom, my brother and his son and girl friend are joining us for supper.  Christmas Day we are going to visit my grandma.  Then go to Marks parents and then watch the football game.  Oh mom will be coming for lunch her.  We are going to have pork chops on the grill because it's suppose to get over 40 degrees.  

I can't wait for the kids to open their gifts they should be very very happy this year!  They are both getting exactly what they asked for.  

Today night we are going out for pizza and look at Christmas lights.  Should be fun with the new snow.  Christmas is the only time that I don't complain about snow.  

Merry Christmas!

Happy Turkey Day!

 Happy Thanksgiving...

I got up yesterday morning and I saw that Target Black Friday deals were already available online.  Yes...  I  know I'm still boycotting that store, however I wanted to ensure that I got the most important items on my list, bought.  Nicci and Philip wanted bigger things and Best Buy, Walmart and Target all had the same items for the same price.  So I decided that security of getting what I wanted was more important then my boycott.  I ordered them and  all seems well.  If they cancel my order there will be *ell to pay.  Because I and my friend decided not to go at midnight that leaving at our normal time was ok would still net us the items that we want.  There isn't anything remaining on my list I can't live without if supplies are depleted. 

We decided that the midnight opening isn't right.  I think stores opening at 4 or 5 in the morning leaves Thanksgiving as a holiday.  By moving it to midnight invades the holiday.  And it does.  I had my mom and my inlaws over for Thanksgiving supper and that was all day to get ready.  I'm blasted tired.  But of course I'm up early to catch up on the deals I might look for (people are already posting their stories)

Well wish us luck...  Happy Black Friday

Unmeasured Strength by Lauren Manning

It is very rare to find a book about a survivor that was injured inside the Twin Towers.  This is the story of a strong woman that had just stepped into the tower when it swayed from the planes impact.  A moment later she was engulfed with blames from a fireball that shot out from the elevators.  She had burns to 80% of her body.  She lost some of fingers but she recovered and is stronger now then on 9-11.  Its a powerful story that was up lifting and easily related to.  She was just going about her day like any of us and this horrible act happened to her and the rest of the country.
