Black Friday

 Fat newspaper full of yummy ads.

 You are right, Penny's it does!  And I won't miss it.

Black Friday was one big fat success this year.  I'm still pretty mad that the stores are now opening on Thanksgiving.  I don't like it but at the same time, I cannot resist the sales, deals, and all of that.

Mom and I went to WalMart on Thursday evening for their 8:00 pm sale.  It was awesome.  There really were people everywhere and the HOT ITEM I wanted was in HIGH demand.  Mom and I arrived about 7:20pm and found our item and got in line.  Well, we sort of huddled around the pallet.  Pallets were just sitting there with these WalMart body guards (who couldn't really do anything but everyone was cooperating, so yeah), and we all waited until 8pm and grabbed our stuff.  I was super worried that I wouldn't get what I wanted but with Mom's help, we did!  The store was soooo crowded and it was super hard to even get your cart around the store.  However, we got everything we wanted and were home by 9pm.  It was awesome!  The item I wanted was on sale from $79 and $77 regular price, to $35 and $29 sale price.  There were only about 15 of the item so we were really stoked about getting it.

Mom and I went to bed around a decent time although I slept at her house in the same bed with the boys and they didn't let me get much sleep.  They were asleep but I'm telling you, Ryan is a freakin windmill when he sleeps!  So I was up at 4am and we hit a few stores.  We did really well and got everything that was on our lists.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
