Black Friday
Nov 27, 2009 A House is a Home
For me, Black Friday is all about shopping with my mom, grandma, aunt, and cousins, a regular girls day. We avoid all the doorbuster sales and avoid the HUGE crowds by hitting the mall. We let my grandmother buy us a Christmas presents. She’s always willing to indulge our impulsive decisions. I love to watch her and a cousin look at purses. They love large purses that can carry everything including the kitchen sink. I’m all about simply purses. So seeing them select purses is entertaining for me.
I did get one small Black Friday deal, new fleece gloves. We hit Sears. Land’s End fleece was 40% off. Now I have a nice pair of purple fleece gloves. They’ll match the hat and scarf that I’m attempting to make, emphasis on the word attempting.
The real find of the day awaited me at home. Last year for a Christmas present my brother offered to install two outdoor outlets in our front yard specifically for our Christmas lights. Well today was installation day. Living in an old house equals frustration at fishing wire.
So there are a few new holes in the walls that need to be patched. Tomorrow my dad is going to wrap up the loose ends and connect the final wires and help patch the wall. I knew the walls in this area needed to be painted. I guess I know what I’m doing with my time during Christmas break. Before we know it we’ll be able to light our Christmas lights without stringing extension cords from the backyard. Safety is always a good thing.
