And now....Lets Shop!
I couldn't be caught in those 5:00am store openings, I'm too old and lazy to get up that early (but I could stay up that late! heh)...But if you were out there, I congratulate you on your preserverence and bravery...Brian has done those early morning trips in the past and witnessed some nice screaming and pushing matches...at toy stores...aren't people the best...
Yesterday we worked in the yard, Brian planted our newly bought plants, and worked on the walkway, I chopped down a poor old bush in the front yard, and we have to get it ready for the new roses...its finally starting to rain here so that will help soften the ground (did I mention we live on limestone and clay?)
So today we are buying dirt, compost and mulch...Not your traditional Holiday shopping, but we have learned to plant when the weather is nice because by the time April rolls around its too hot and everything is under stress and dies...Our green thumbs are brown today...
I made a new bracelet w/ some left over beads yesterday, will haveta show that one to ya...watched football, ate turkey, watched more tv - typical inside holiday routines...eat and park in front of the telly...I'm glad we bought our meal already prepared this year, tho, cleanup was a snap and no leftovers clogging the fridge...plus it was cheaper than going out...last year we ate in a groovy Austin restaurant, and they sat us next to people we worked with in the computer game industry...unfortunately they weren't our favorite people, but the good news was there was a divider between us and them...you just never know who you're gonna run into in Austin, its a funny town that way...the meal was great, but we kept waiting for them to leave, which they finally did...bah...
There's lots to do today and this weekend, go have fun, spend money, buy something you've always wanted for yourself and don't tell anyone!
