Ugly Sweaters are In!

See this hideous sweater?   In the eighties this stuff was in and now it is back in style.  This ugly sweater has been to three events this Christmas.  It may have a busier social calendar that I do!

Miss Brunette and Blonde Girl have both worn it to school.  It even attended an ugly sweater gathering.
I am not sure if it won, but it was a contender.

I may have to refer to it as "Holly" or "Merry Bell" rather than "It".

Black Thursday is the New Black Friday

So, yes, did Black Thursday.  We headed to the Old Navy around 6:30 on Thanksgiving night.  The girls would not even let me stop at the Circle K for a sodie.  We attended the 50% off of everything Old Navy event.  It was great!

They had a guy on a podium entertaining the people waiting in line.  I got $5 and $1 off my order, by having my shopping list in my hand and having an Old Navy reusable bag.  Both times, I yelled,  "right here buddy!"

Side note: the girls find me embarrassing.

We then headed to Walmart and bought these fabulous $15 stainless steel garage cans.  Two.
We also purchased a blue ray with wi-fi capability, which we LOVE.

Sadly, I returned to the Walmart scene of the crime Thursday, Friday, Sunday and today.  Don't ask me why.

Photo Bombed by a Cat

There really is no explanation for Cooper.
He was later locked in Miss Brunette's room.
What can you do?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sunrise

Miss Brunette took this picture after we heard on the news that the sunrise was awesome.  It was.  Her parents made her submit it to the "Today Show", as they are looking for sunrise pictures.

I am just saying.....

Running a Fowl

I ran into a rooster standing by the doors of the Winco.  It was a black rooster by the garbage can. Seriously.  I live in the 6th largest city in the U.S. and I can't go for milk and eggs without running into a damn, male chicken.

I demanded that they catch him after I explained that it was a rooster and not a chicken.

"Ohhh, the chicken."

"Rooster, I know these things."

Halloween at Our House

Blonde Girl went as grapes.

                                       
                                            Miss Brunette went to a party as Coco Chanel.

No Excuses

I don't know why I have not posted on this blog for so long.

First of all, we did go to Montana for fall break and that accounts for some of the loss of time.  It was fun, cool weather and gorgeous leaves.  OMG.

Miss Brunette drove my car to the Target to pick up ink for the printer and someone hit my car.  She was so upset.  Target looked on the surveillance tapes, but did not find the perp.  I told her, "just come home."  I called the police, but they were no help as it occurred on private property.

We have a $500 deductible on such things and this was the car we were driving to Montana in two days.

The turning signal was broken and the side of the car was scratched.

I said to Love Man, "why can't we go on a online junk yard and get the light?  It will be cheaper than $500."

Love Man bought one for around $75 including the federal express shipping.

The old light clipped off,  the new light clipped on.

I wonder why a certain auto body shop took 5 days to install a former broken headlight??

Miss B is still traumatized.

I will post more,  sorry Cousin Sue!
