Christmas is Coming!

So you better watch out, you better not cry I'm crocheting up a storm I'm telling you why... Heather Dawn is coming to town.

i am so dumb.

I've been crocheting snowflakes like theres a blizzard in my hands trying to break free!!

I've done pink and white ones so far! They are easily addictive! I've followed this tutorial!

This is my newest project! I am making myself a granny blanket! The colors look so much better in this picture than in real life! I guess the sunlight made them POP! But I'm using I Love This Yarn and it is so soft and squishy I am questioning why I used anything else for the past 2 blankets I made!

Welp... Thanksgiving was spectacular. I didn't-REPEAT DIDN'T- eat too much! HA.. take that TURKEY DAY! I had one peice of Red Velvet Cake, which I have a post planning to share my mothers EPIC recipe! I was actaully sad about thanksgiving food. I have this wierd pet peeve. If everything on my plate is the same color, I get a little wierded out. And everything was yellow. Which is the worst color that everything could be. I know, I'm crazy. Robin tells me that it's a crazy pet peeve! Everything was yellow except for the cranberry sauce and lima beans.

BUT everything was DELISH! So I should shut up, cause my mom reads this blog~
MAMA, you cook so good... don't listen to me rant about everything being yellow. But you probably noticed this too. ;)

BLACK Friday wasn't so bad. I think next year I am joining the ANTI-Black Friday movement though. I got my camera at 1 p.m. I didn't have to wait in a line for it. We got some awesome toys for Doodle at a very low price. It was fun to be with Robin, Daniel and Autumn. It was actually the lowest stress shopping trip I can remember. We went where we wanted and when we were done we left.

Now, I am shopping on the internet. And I think my life has been revolutionised. I'm not a big internet shopper, but, um, I think I will be!

What are you doing to get ready for the holidays?!!

Happy Thanksgiving & The Dark Day

'Ello everyone!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Are you ready for BLACK Friday!?

Let's all make a promise to NOT eat too much and to pass on the FOURTH helping of Stuffing. Mmkay? Okay. ;)

Can we just pause a minute to talk a bit about BLACK Friday? I've did all my thankfulness and I am so thankful, but I just want to talk about this crazyness... see if you all agree or disagree.

ha, I even made my own silly little graphic!

SO, we here in the US know what BLACK Friday means. I'm not sure if other countries take part in this circus event, but MAN BLACK Friday is NUTS! At least here in Georgia it is. I think entire families go AWOL on one another to get the newest tickle me whatever. If you think Halloween is scary, you better check those costumes at the door, because Granny Do-Gooder is more likely to scare the piss out of you over some $1.99 handtowels in the Wal*Mart isle at 5:00 in the morning! SERIOUSLY! And we wake up EARLY for this HARASSMENT!!

I've only been shopping on Black Friday twice in my short life. I think I lost 10 years of it just because of those days too! Talk about stressful! EVERYWHERE is JAMMED PACKED and people are so ill and mean. You would think saving about $200 would make someone happy, heck no!

The first year Robin and I were married we decided to take part in mayhem. We woke up at 3a.m. to go to Wal*Mart. We knew from a partner on the inside of the W*M crew that there were only going to be THREE LCD T.V's., which is what we were going after. We were the second people in line. We stood in line for three hours. It wasn't so bad. We made friendly with the workers who were there and the people in line with us. We read some magazines, took shifts walking around and talked a great deal about life things.

Around 5-5:30 it was like the gates opened up and SWARMS of people came from nowhere. In just a few minutes there were masses of people behind us in line and I could see other lines forming around the store too. I heard people yelling and cussing that it was 6am already!! Just angry people in general. And no lie, the cops were called. A fight broke out over some electronic device. People were hand cuffed and escorted out!

Are you finding this insane? Is this the Black Friday experince you've had?!

Needless to say, we got our precious 42 inch LCD for $700-ish tv (which is still so lovely and amazing and precious.). We could barely fit it in the car but we got the first one and it was a life experience I'll never forget! But Black Friday is so intense! All the people, all the sales, all the crazyness. Why in the world do we go through with this! We know it's a MADNESS EVENT, the title gives it away, but we just join right in and spend spend spend on things that we really don't need.

I hate to admit it, but this year we are going shopping on BLACK FRIDAY! I think I'm going to wear my combat boots and tribal war paint, because this mama has to get Doodle a Barbie Jeep/ 4wheeler/whatever and a camera. I am scared. And I hate HUGE crowds. But, because I'm a sucker for a great bargin... I'm putting myself through this torture to get $40 off. *SIGH* What kind of sad world we live in.

What do you think about BLACK FRIDAY!? Are you hunting deals? Buying something HUGE!!?

Are you staying in the peace and quiet of your own home, free from the crazies? I want to be you! And I know I could stay home... order online... but when I buy things I like to get it then. I don't like waiting. I'm very impatient. ;)
