Black Friday, Mint Chocolate, and 2 Losses

Seems as though it’s been eons since I’ve last blogged. Time for a quick update:

11/22: Thanksgiving was remarkable! Love turkey and pumpkin pie/ Hate ASU for losing to USC


11/23: Black Friday; best and worst day to shop! Spent the night with James outside Circuit City in hopes of getting some really breathtaking shopping steals! Had fun shopping, but didn’t get exactly what we spent all night on asphalt for. Will probably do again next year…

11/24: Our illustrious football teams still suck- U of U looses to BYU. What the heck Utes? The highlight of the day was getting our Christmas lights up on our house. Did you know they make them with convenient little clips that attach right to the house? Amazing, I tell you…simply amazing. It’s a design marvel!

11/25-12/1: Back to the grindstone! I don’t know if any of you are familiar with the chocolate phone by LG, but if you are, you have my deepest empathy. Feel free to vent in the comments section! I am on my 3rd phone…by no fault of my own! The mic in my phone stopped working; to talk to anyone I had to be on speaker. Annoying, but doable. And then, it just quit. The whole phone gave up on me. The screen went colorless and presumably ascended to cell phone heaven. They had no replacements at the store, so they are fed-exing me a new one. I give it 6 months before it goes poltergeist on me! In the meantime, I am virtually unreachable. Cut off and banished from the cellular world! My phone is akin to a Swiss army knife- it’s multi functional. It’s not just for chatting; my phone doubles as my alarm clock, entertainment during meetings, and an all around timekeeper. What am I to do? Learn how to read analog? I'd rather just wing it. Consider me survivor woman! Hopefully I’ll make it through.


12/4: Just got the word that I passed my behemoth exams (AEPA exams- secondary ed and chemistry). I am so relieved and want to share my joy with the world! Please, share with me…join in the jubilation!

This post is great on many levels.
1) that you and James camped at at Circit City..AND will do it again.

2) That you are equally as depresses as me at the lose of the Utes.

3) For some odd reason, my chocolate phone is normal. I am only on my second. And, the first wasn't malfunctioning that bad, i just wanted a new phone without scratches. Dishonest? Maybe. Smart? Definitely.

4) That you discovered the magic of the christmas lights hooks. I just discovered them on Monday. Genius!
