What we did On Black Friday

This morning I woke up too early cus i fell asleep yesterday really early cus i didn't take a nap when i got home. I watched all the things i had recorded, then sewed till I poked my finger one too many times. Then, John woke up and decided he was going to venture out in the misery of black friday. He needed a few things he could get on really good sale if he jumped into the store, then back out real quick. There was a sale at Penny's on leather jackets and I wanted one. So I braved the streets to get tot he mall and found the jacket i wanted. Its black, I really kinda wanted a rust colored one, but they didn't have one in that color in my size. It's zipper front and tailored back, I like it. When I got home, I showed John what he bought me and we are both happy. I also bought him a couple sweatshirts. He requested these also. I didn't have to stand in line too long, so I went down to sears and look for a surround sound system for Alex. he requested this, in blue ray.

OMG! Unless you have an extra 300.00 plus dollars to invest in this, I would get the regular one. Nope, if Alex wants it in Blue ray he can fork out for that on his own.

After the mall, I went into the fabric store to buy the back for the quilt I am making for my Granddaughter. She gets a grown up quilt form me this year. I got 30 percent off my entire purchase there, so i was happy. While I was there, John called me to tell me he was home, and we could start on our next mission as soon as I got home.

I probably haven't mentioned this cus I have been gone for so long. Alex is coming home December 16 for 22 days. Not long enough for me, but I don't have a choice in this matter. Anyway, we are having a party for him when gets home so he can see his family again. He hasn't seen some of his family since before he left for school after college. we were going to have the party at the post, but then we would have to cook all the food and do all the work. Instead, we decided to have the party at a hotel/restaurant so family can come from out of town and drink all they want. then they can stagger back to their rooms safely.

so today we went out pricing hotel buffet/dinner rentals. Hey guess what! we would have to work all day, or pay for this. we would both rather pay for this than work that hard. I am not even going to tell you how much its going to cost, it will be worth it. Until Alex gets married, we wont have to do this again. I guess this is what we have  a savings for. We really want him to see his family again and this is th easiest way. I may even fly andy out for him to come home. They haven't seen each other in I don't know how long.

 Well, that is what I did today. I am crewed in to work tonight again. I get so pissed off cus they give us a day off and then I get forced in on my day off. WTF! that is another storey. Oh well. That is what I did today. Lets see what happens tomorrow.
