sorry it took so long to write about how black friday shopping was. i was picked up at 5:30am and we went straight to breakfast instead of trying to deal with the crowds and the crazy people. we figured there was really nothing we wanted that bad that we wanted to fight over or be pushed down for. so by the time we got to walmart it was around 7:30 and the crowds had died down and it wasn't really that busy. jen and carol said that have seen walmart that busy on some saturdays but not me. now for i what i bought: i got the digital camera and a sd card for it, a vaccuum cleaner, a track suit for tony, food chopper, some bowls and last but not least i got a lullaby cd for the baby to listen to now and after it's born. they say if you put them to bed once they are born to something they are familar to they may sleep better. that was all boughten at walmart. at the mall i got tony a xbox golf game, some slippers, a wireless headet for his cell and a nike t-shirt, i got carol gloves and a scarf and just need to find a hat now, mack and masen i got magna doodles and lily a smaller version of one. and for christmas from carol, she bought me a columbia winter coat, new balance shoes, a materity top and jeans. jen and i got to pick out what we wanted so she knew we were getting something she knew we would like. now since it was tony's birthday, i had to chose what i was going to give him that night as bday gifts and what to save for xmas but i was bad and i gave him everything. i couldn't believe it the next morning that after a full day of shopping, i had nothing to put under the tree. tony says he doesn't care and laughs about it. so i asked jen last night, when are we going xmas shopping again. while we were shopping, tony decided to surprise me and decorated the house and boy did he ever do a good job. he lined one side of the driveway with candy canes that light up. he bought a blow up snowman, he used the 2 lawn ornaments i bought at the craft fair, hung lights up galore, hung a wreath and put up a santa in a sleigh. i took pix but can't show them to you now cause tony took the new camera with him on his trip and he left this morning. well i think i have written enough for the day. i have to do homework and sometime today i will be going over to carol's. tata
