this and that
am recovering from thanksgiving. both from the huuuuge amounts of food and from the general chaos of being with all my family members at once. seriously, it's insane. but it was a lovely turkey day.
went with sisters anna and cherie and anna's friend jen to black friday shopping. i used to scoff at people who did this sort of thing, but i have to admit it was a lot of fun. it was more of an adventure than anything else. wake up at 4:30am to go brave the dark and the cold and other crazy folks in an attempt to save some money and feel the holiday spirit. i went in my pajamas and we just laughed our butts off outside of the new target on rt. 41 while waiting for the store to open. my christmas shopping for my niece and nephew is done, and aside from a nasty cut on my thumb from a $3.99 24-pack of diet pepsi, i survived the ordeal unscathed.
i also learned that it's called black friday because it marks the first day that retailers generally make a profit. for the first 11 months of the year they're in the red. can that be true?
ooh and before turkey day had a lovely lovely dance party with jen at the hideout. had somehow managed to miss all of jen's previous dance parties. she was, as usual, a man magnet and had interesting boys fawning over her all night. i was content to just dance like a fool and stare at the interesting people all around me.
efe and i also just received our new digital camera we ordered from amazon.com. it's a tad bulky, not as slim as some that i've seen, but i dig it. hopefully i'll figure out how to use it and download pics asap.
oh, and i'm going to my first bull's game tonight. exciting!
