Hunting... for shoes, not animals.

I am on the hunt for the perfect pair of brown, flat, leather boots.

I'm kicking myself for not ordering last month's Shoedazzle boot in my showroom called Rainier:

They are shown here in black....

I want some BAD...

Two questions for you TWO followers I have... I guess that is partly my own fault for not advertising my blog, any who *KNOCK KNOCK* get back on track Cameron...

1. Do any of you understand my need for this perfect (in season, trending, lovely) pair of boots?
2. Have you heard about Shoedazzle? If not, you need to ask me about it, it will rock your world, especially yours Kendall. Ask me about it and I can save you 20% off your first shoe selection. LOVE IT!

Happy Monday everyone! Maggie and mine's world is going to be ROCKED to the core this week. Hope we make it out alive!!

I'll update you all soon on my weekend and what not. Too busy now, shouldn't even be doing this! haha

Blogfully,

My Favorite Friday!

Ohhh with the Holidays comes one of my favorite Fridays: Black Friday. While all Fridays are great as the are the onset of the much anticipated weekend, Black Friday holds a special place in my heart. For the last few years, the lil baby and me make a plan of what stores we are hitting and what we are going to get. It's a meticulous plan that gets started earlier and earlier every year.

Here is a line at Target on Black Friday one year, the lil baby and me went to Toys R' Us at Midnight last year when they opened) and let's just say, I won't be doing that again.

Last year I figured out I could Google 'Black Friday Ads' and I could find them at the beginning of NOVEMBER! This made the planning SO much easier (and detailed)! SO what do you know? I started my Christmas shopping today, with the help of Amazon.com and decided to check on my trusty Black Friday ads, to see if they were posted. AND THEY ARE WOOOOHOOOO!! Check out: http://www.blackfriday2010.com/ for this year's deals.

I do want to say, it's not the deals that I go for on Black Friday, it's the tradition. I love going EARLY in the morning with the lil baby, it's something we look forward to every year. She gets cheap DVDs, I cross a few people off my list, it's a fun filled day... now if only I could find a way to avoid all the other shoppers out there...

Here are a few "rules and regs" I came up with for Black Friday:

1. Always have a buddy system. This will help for two reasons: First, there is someone there to talk to when you're waiting in line outside of Target at 3am for 5 hours and Secondly, it's two more hands to punch out the crazy lady you're fighting for that last Ipod Touch or GPS, or whatever your "coveted" item is that year.


2. Always bring snacks with you. You're crazy if you stop for snacks at the Food Court or in a restaraunt for two reasons: 1) You think the line for that new Sony TV is long? Wait until you see the line for the Corn Dogs and 2) Why waste precious Sony TV buying time for Corn Dog standing in line time? No thanks.


3. Have a mapped out plan. Figure out what your priorities are. Start with the items you know will sell out quickly-go to those places with the best deals first. Then work your way down. Little children's toys seem to stick around, but not the expensive ones.


4. Always bring your ads with you. This will help for two reasons. When it's 4am and the store opens, you won't need your photographic memory to remember what is what for who and secondly, if the store clerk tries to argue that you're wrong, you have proof you're always right.


5. Walmart, Walmart, Walmart. The lil baby and me always try to go to Walmart about 10PM on Thanksgiving night to compare what's in other people's ads to what Walmart has in the store. Walmart accepts competitors prices so sometimes it can be a one stop shop for you. A few years ago the lil baby and me found Weeds Season 3 (for my mom) in the Hastings ad for like $10 but Walmart was selling it for $50, we just showed them the Hastings ad and bada bing.


6. Stay safe. Bottom line people get crazy- don't become crazy and don't mix your self with the crazies.
   
   Do any of you guys embark on the sometimes scary Black Friday?

Where did last week go?

I seriously blinked and the week was over! I just want to know where the roses are so I can stop and smell them! Any one know where I can find them?

Wellll a lot has happened since my last post...

First of all, I lost the DANG pumpkin carving contest this year. I was super rushed and didn't even get to pick out the exact pumpkin I wanted to carve but these are not excuses. Andy won fair and square... but just know that it is ON next year!

The lil baby (what I call my 18 (almost 19) year old sister Kayli) was rushed to the hospital on Monday for apparent appendicitis. She had to stay over in the hospital to do testing and what not. Come to find out she had a ruptured ovarian cyst which did not require surgery PRAISE the Lord! She is doing better, from what I can tell.

Thursday, was my Aunt's birthday (who passed away in April). I miss her everyday. I can't believe we've made it 7 months without her- I guess it just shows how strong our family is and how much we love eachother. I am lucky to have the family I have. (this is me breathing in the roses)

The first half of my weekend was full of work of course, but the second half was full of family which totally made up for it.

My 2 new obsessions of the week (because we all know these change weekly):

1. Ana-White.com - Andy said he'd help with my first building project... be looking for the progress on that soon :-D
2. StumbleUpon - Holy cow... if I didn't have enough time as it was, the lil baby (Kayli) introduced to me this amazing way to surf the web for things you like. I've already learned a million things and love love love it. I try to stay away from it during the week.

Tomorrow I'll upload pictures from the past week or so... including the lovely Halloween pictures and my crap pumpkin :-(
