Tuesday Blog Hoppin'

I can not believe it's the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I'm feeling completely overwhelmed. I'm glad we aren't hosting more than a couple informal get togethers over the holiday season. I was going to share my lasagna dinner from last night, but it was a complete FAIL. Mr. P still liked it, but I forgot to add the meat. It was vegetarian so healthy at least! I ended up making taco soup this morning with the meat that was still in the frying pan on top of the oven. Guess I should have had that on my list right?

I decided to participate in a few blog hops today. So leave me a message if you stop by :)

1.) My brother to come home for the holidays. I know he's fighting for our country, but I miss him sooooo much!

2.) To spend some quality time with my man. His work schedule has gotten crazy with the holidays and we're pretty much on a phone relationship until January of next year :( Thanksgiving will be our last day to hang out together and we're going to see family and then I'm going up north so I don't even get to sleep next to him :(

You've just been given $500. You have 24 hours to spend it and can spend it on anyone/anything other than yourself. How do you spend it?

$300 - buy my school books :( I can't believe they are going to cost me that much for two class. I'm very unhappy.
$200- send the money to my brother. He's overseas, not making a ton of money and I know he will just spend it on my niece :) Also, he just found out someone stole his Best Buy Credit Card and has racked up a huge bill. They don't even have a Best Buy in Japan :(




My best Black Friday Tip is know your sales early. I've been scoping out the sales since mid-October. I have found several websites that post the ads as they are released or "leaked" and I've joined their mailing lists. My favorite is www.bfads.net go there! They let you save a printable customized list by store and have alot of helpful information. They also include what time stores open :) 2am Friday morning to get to Kohl's/Old Navy by 3am. I think I qualify as crazy :) I know I missed yesterday :( I'll try to post that later.
