How I'm doing/Main Topic: The Weekend
Went out for Keri's birthday to Macaroni Grill (meh). Stopped at Old Navy for some Christmas Shopping... had an awesome sale going on and the coupon was reusable so people were just passing back their coupons. Was very "it takes a village".
Stayed up late Saturday playing games... have decided to FreeCycle the crappishness that is Scene it!
Started the fireplace :-)
Helped in Weatherization Community Service Friday.
Worked off and on all day Sunday for server migration.
BJ brought me Sonic :-D I heart him so!
Quotes from the weekend:
BJ: "If you loved me, you'd HAND WRITE me a Christmas list of my own."
me: "If you loved me, you'd just look up the lists I already have on the internet."
...
BJ: "I better have a handwritten list by the time I get back " (also implying that I had to get out of bed)...
me: "Better not hold your breath." (said under my breath)
BJ wouldn't let me open my present from my mom (even though i knew what it was)
Mom told me to open it so that we could make sure it was ok.
BJ could not believe my family.
----
Told BJ that my mom told me jokingly that she might call him "Bri Bri" (rhymes with eye eye)
"Awww, tell her I like her now, though."

Accomplishment:
Based on
http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/list.php and the Black Friday ads they have so far and my shopping list I just created on their site it looks like I need to go to Circuit City, Best Buy, Half Priced Books, Kohl's and CVS on Black Friday. I just clicked a few and will plan better when it comes closer, but their shopping list is a pretty cool feature.
Confessions:
Ultimate Darice gift: Ally McBeal toilet remote. (shudder)
I do a step ball change every time I open the front office door.
Thankful:
I am thankful for...
... the weekend from hell being over (ok, so it wasn't really hell for me)
... San Fran game this weekend!
