The Day after Thanksgiving Sale

Well, I stumbled across the coolest blog today! Check this out. www.davidruth.blogspot.com Incredible and amazing photos of the Antarctica! Makes me want to hop on a plane and check it out. I am sure the pictures do no justice compared to actually standing there looking around and hearing the sounds, smelling the air, etc.

Since Jamie is asking about the day after Thanksgiving sale, I guess I will post about that today. We arrived bright and early at 6am. Micki was ready to shop-til-she-dropped! I was still sleepy. There were not huge numbers of people in the mall as in the years past. I am not sure why, but it did get a little crowded as we were leaving in the afternoon. I thought last Saturday when we were there with the Pathfinders was worse than the day after Thanksgiving! OH, I did find one cool purchase! It was a ... ha! Made you read! Nothing special other than spending the day with my sister and the girls.

Not much to mention other than a few good sales (which I cannot mention incase the person I shopped for is reading) and me pokeing a woman in the eye. It was not the best "day after Thanksgiving" shopping day I've had. My sister stood in the check out line for 1 hour and 20 minutes at the Disney Store. She racked up to say the least! While she was in line there, Micki and I left to check out a few places. When we returned there was a line outside of the store just to come inside!! As someone exited, another person was allowed inside. Oh yeah...the ladies eye. As my sister entered KBToys, I went to point to a spot that I would wait for her and it happened that a sweet young woman (thank the Lord she was so sweet) and her eye were in the same spot as my finger. I poked her directly in the right eye. I felt so horrible!!! Don't worry, she was ok.

Now, the most memorable Day after Thanksgiving was the year my sister was pregnant for my nephew. We racked up and bought so much that the entire trunk was packed as well as the back seat of the Accord. My daughters were about 14 and 12 and were sitting in the backseat too. You know the scene where ET is with the stuffed animals in the closet and you cannot see him? That's what the girls looked like!! I still laugh thinking about it! To top it off, my sister bought a 4 1/2 foot metal giraffe for her collection (and a rocking horse for my nephew) that had to be put across the middle of the car. We thought we were gonna have to open the sunroof to put that giraffe's head out the top, but we made it home. Thank God we didn't get into any kind of accident that day! I sure wish I had a photo of us in the car! We laugh about that day every year!

Well, I have to run. I came across a cool verse. It is Psalm 4:4 "Don't sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent." If I could just get a grip on that verse. There's another one that goes hand-in-hand with it. It is Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; Keep watch over the door of my lips." That's enough to keep me thinking and practicing for the next year!! Have a amazing day and don't poke anyone's eye out!!! :)
