Ok I do find that title hilarious!! And for many any reasons!! I for one have no money to go shopping so yeah I was sound asleep tucked in my warm little bed. For another reason I hate crowds. Hence why last week I walked out of 2 stores without buying said reason for being there. My son however did head out at 6:30 am !! He is insane!! He goes out and picks up a friend and the 2 of them head into town. Just imagine 2 18 yo boys out shopping. That is a sight to behold. They were the only "kids" out at those hours according to my son. So anyway.. They went to GameStop. Of course it shares a parking lot with Target so there is NO parking. So he drives around and see one open spot. Its Handicapped!! And before I go any farther yes I did yell at him as did Dave. Jon looks at the door of his car and see a handicap placard there and decided to utilize it. We have explained to him its a $250 for him to use it since its not for him. In his defense he said he looked at the other cars in the parking and none of them had the placard so at least he was in a way legal... So he goes in and he stands in line and according to him people are very stupid. They are in these long lines and buying things that are not for sale and have been out for weeks on end. So he gets up to the register and he gets his prize!! A gold Legend of Zelda special edition DS!! So he gets his total and digs out his money only to find he is *gasp* $10 short!! he tries his debit card but it doesn't have the visa logo on it!! So he is like I need to run to the bank!!! BRB!! On the way to the door he find the missing money in his other pocket! but they made him go to the end of the line and luckily he was still the only one after that since they only had 8 to begin with. So he got his game and came home!! Took him almost 2 hours!!

So I needed Milk. So in some form of lack of wisdom we decided to to go Costco. And a few other places for fun. We decided since it was after 10 we would try to see if we could find some knee high socks at target for the girls. We went with the idea in our heads if we cant find parking, lines are too long, etc.. we will pass it by. Well, we get there and find parking right away. Ok so in we go. It was a freakin zoo!!!! We are still doing ok lets see if they even have what we came for.. We go to the sock section ad we find what we wanted. We walk up still not sure and get into express and get out right away! No line! Ok this works for me. We now have 2 pairs of socks for each of the girls.  So we next try the library. They are closed.  Boo!!! So next we ran to Sprint and paid the bill. Ok this is easy No line in and out. Ok lets not jinx our luck but we need milk. Off to Costco we go. We got parking really easy.. Got milk and even got pork chops !! We run through the self checkout (cause it had NO LINE!!!) On the way out of Costco we get handed a cookbook - reason: cause we used self check out. OK cool!!! We ran and got the car washed after that. I knew that change holder I have been tossing my pocket change in for a few months would be useful some day!! Then we grabbed a pizza from Jon's work for him because he has to work before dinnertime tonight. We then headed home. We were gone for a whopping 2 hours!!! So it was not that bad cause we weren't really shopping.

Dave went to sharpen the chain saw to cut some wood and found the sharpener thingy is broke! GRRRRR!!!! Now I am busy juggling the budget yet again!! We have more things up for sale on Craigslist.. I hope they sell so we can do a bit more for Christmas. We live within our means and can pay regular monthly living expenses but we have no cushion. We have no safety net for emergencies right now or holidays and that is what is hurting us.

Anyways.. now I have written a novel and didn't mean to!! OK my dog is freak!!! He is laying on the coffee table sunbathing!!! Yes I know bad dog!! But I would have to move the table for him to have someplace else to lay so he can be warm. And I sort of kind of have my feet on the table.. SHHH!! I know bad me!!! We are sharing the sunshine!!
