Classic Disney To The Rescue

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We definitely filled ourselves to the max with lots of turkey, and brought home plenty of leftovers to keep us stuffed for awhile. 

The little one enjoyed her first family dinner by staying awake and alert the entire time.  She was more alert yesterday than she’s ever been, so I figured she might sleep a little better last night.  Nope.  I was up most of the night with her, and she finally decided we could sleep around 5am this morning.  As I type she’s currently laying here on the boppy alternating between watching Mary Poppins and smiling at me. 

I”m starting her off with all the old classic Disney movies that I love before we move into the Disney movies of today.  Mary Poppins may be old, but it’s one of my all time favorite movies.  My aunt and I used to watch it weekly when I was a kid as it’s also her favorite movie. It came out the year she was born so we still watch Mary Poppins every year on her birthday.  It makes her feel young again especially now that she’s starting to receive mail talking about how she needs to look into a Medicare supplement even though she’s only 45!

Anywho, hooking her up with the movie right now is giving me time to relax a bit and get some work done.  My house is an absolute wreck and it’s driving me insane.  Hubby is helping as much as he can, but he’s got a list of stuff he needs to do outside today like putting the rest of that plastic weather film stuff on the windows.  I guess that means I need to get off here and get some work done, huh?  Now that she’s chilled out with the movie that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Dodging Drivers & Christmas Came Early

After seeing how horrible traffic was tonight I’m scared to see how bad things are going to be on Black Friday.  It was a mad house out there tonight, and now I’m definitely not heading out into that madness on Friday.  I’ll stay at home and shop online!

Everything around town was madness.  We tried to do a little shopping tonight to pick up a few essential things we forgot to grab at the grocery store the other day, but it was nearly impossible to get in anywhere for all the people.  Then on the way home we were dodging crazy drivers left and right. 

Apparently a ton of people seem to be having car trouble this weekend, too, because I can’t count on one hand the number of cars I saw parked on the side of the road this evening.  Apparently no one around here seems to have roadside assistance plans. Maybe it’s because our unemployment rates are still so high no one can afford it, so they have to leave their cars parked all over the place because they can’t afford to get them home.

Anywho when we got home I did some online shopping, and I took advantage of some of the deals that are already going on online.  I finally picked up my netbook.  I got myself an Asus Eee PC 1005 Netbook.  I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile, so with Hubby’s approval I treated myself to a late birthday/early Christmas present.  I think he only agreed because I agreed to let him pick up the home theater system he’s been eyeing as long as he grabs it on Black Friday when it’s on sale.  At least both of them are items we’ll get a ton of use out of even if they are a bit of a splurge.  We figure with the baby these are some of the last big purchases we’ll be making for awhile, so we might as well enjoy it while we can!
