Last weekend my mom, sisters and I all headed down to Kalispell for BLACK FRIDAY! We have done this for a few years now and we always look forward to it. Getting up at 3:00 a.m. to stand in line for all the GREAT deals. This year proved to be so much fun. We arrived in Kalispell early on Thursday to find NOTHING open! Zip...zilch...nothing! But we knew there wouldn't' be from years past. We did manage to find a Burger King open so we grabbed a bit to eat. Then we relaxed by going to see the movie, "The Blind Side." What a GREAT show...for the whole family. It has such a good meaning and was very clean. It just put all of us in a good mood. Then it was time to head back to the hotel to look over the PILE of flyers. It is like looking through the WISH book...there are so many flyers enticing you to SPEND MONEY! LOL! I managed to find a few great deal, one being a video camera for $200 LESS than what it is up here. I was happy about that. Early the next morning we got up and were all excited about SHOPPING...the whole purpose of our trip. It was a great day...and we were exhausted by 11. So I treated myself to a pedi cure in the mall. LOL! It was so much fun to get way, to have a break from everyday life. To laugh...a LOT! To spend time with my sisters and mom. I have to thank my great husband for taking care of the kids for 3 days even with a very bad shoulder injury. He knew how much I had been looking forward to going and seemed to manage very well while I was gone. The house was SPOTLESS when I got home! That's a first. LOL! The Christmas season is upon us now. It is snowing as I type, and I am happy that it is. I have had ENOUGH of this crazy wind that I am welcoming the snow. Even if it means freezing temperatures, I know I will be safe and warm in my house while the storm rages on outside. Isn't that how our lives are these days..the storm rages on and I am so thankful for my home which is a safe haven.
I found this Cookie Countdown (thanks Tiff) and thought I would share it.
