We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Each and every single one of you were in our thoughts as we celebrated all what we had to be thankful for this year.
Wednesday Mike picked up Brody early from school and hung out around the house till I got home after 4 o'clock from school. I immediately ran to get a pedicure and last minute appitizer ingredient shopping. After we scrambled to get Hannah and went to dinner and In-n-Out and then to the movies to see Bolt.
Thanksgiving day was celebrated at Jim and Sharon's.
Friday morning I woke up early to hit up Kmart for a Sony blu ray player for $179.99. However, I alread purchased the blu ray player two weeks prior. Of course by the time I got there at 6:20 a.m. they were already completely sold out. I was still happy knowing that I had it, I just paid a whole lot more.
When I returned Mike and Brody were ready to get their day started and we went to have breakfast at Fantastic Cafe followed by play time at the park. My mom then called and asked if she could have Brody for the day while Mike and I went shopping. Easy enough, there he went off in grandma's truck. Mike and I then started off at Sports Chalet to either get Molly tall Ugg boots or a snowboarding jacket and pants. However, my lovely soon to be sister in law is nearly insane. She out did herself this year and nothing was under $159.99. Sorry! Looks like a gift card for you.
Then we headed to Sam's Club where I was shocked to see the blu ray player now had a much cheaper new price. Of course I pysched Mike out and headed to the counter with my reciept and got my money back. Then off to the jewlery counter. My favorite part of the day. Mike hated each and every single wedding band that I picked out. Then I think drunk on shopping he pointed to a 2.02 karat round diamond solitare and said how about we just get you this one. OMG! OMG! Of course I shouted really loud. He was dead serious. I was all for it, then reality set in and I much rather save the money for now and go back in a year and pay for it in cash. Trust me I will never forget that ring. Maybe Santa will bring it for me. We then continued with grocery shopping. We ended the trip with a $233 grocery bill. UGH!
Following up there we went to Lowe's were we purchased a few plants for the front yard. Then back home to meet up with Brody, dinner, t.v. and bed.
Saturday morning we went to the nursery and purchased a ton of plants for the front yard. Another insane bill. Then back home to start digging the trenches for installing the new sprinklers. I headed off to yet another nursery. I nearly backed into a huge trailer that I could not see thanks to Mike's huge tool box. After the guy saved me from getting in huge trouble with Mike he jumped in the back of the truck and we drove through what Brody calls the jungle. We picked up three more huge plants with hardly any cash. I now have resorted to haggling. Heck I saved about $80 bucks doing so.
Sunday Mike and his dad went to the car show in Long Beach. Afterwards Mike and my brother's friend Frank moved out the weight bench and loaded it up in Mike's truck. Followed by Mike installing the sprinklers. I worked on three of my papers that are due this week. Brody played in his powerwheels and drove over almost every plant I own.
