Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Preparation...

I'm preparing for a glorious weekend. I know you all probably think I can't wait to eat some yummy turkey, have some pie and don't get me wrong...what could be better than this?


But I'll just tell you that I only get up before 5 AM on one day of the year. That's right folks, The day AFTER thanksgiving.

They don't call it black Friday for nothing people!


I've spent the last 360-odd days preparing the following:

  1. Special cart maneuvers
  2. Elbow throwing
  3. Starbucks ordering (you have to be quick!)
  4. Super List: A mix of Christmas presents and my own personal wants/needs ( I use the term loosely)
  5. Training to spot % off signs
  6. How to balance your purse, coffee cup, and list in one hand whilest picking through a pile with the other ( This is actually a hard thing to do! My secret is the "over the shoulder bag")

This is some serious action folks. I know you think I'm crazy, but I've converted non-believers. Its amazing and its less than a week away! I better go, I have more prep work to do! Will I see you at Fred Meyers? :)
