For those of y’all who are interested (all three of you!), I thought I’d let you know that I did not venture out this morning for Black Friday shopping. I decided to go with my original thought which is there isn’t enough money to be saved or sedatives to be taken to make me want to get out in the crowds on a Friday morning.
Plus, you know the new Target is now seven minutes and one extra stoplight away instead of five and I just don’t have that kind of time.
And Walmart is too much for my delicate sensibilities on a normal day that doesn’t involve professional shoppers looking for great deals on flat screen T.V.’s. and a Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus.
So, I’m just sitting here eating leftover chocolate ice box pudding, the way God and the pilgrims intended.
However, there are a few things I need to share because they are too good to keep to myself.
1. From now until Monday, December 1st you can make personalized Christmas cards at Studio Dayspring. They have really cute designs and, best of all, if you enter the code Staff50 at checkout you can get 50% off your order of 50 or more cards.
2. CWDKids is doing a fun 12 Days of Giveaways on their Kidbits blog starting Monday, December 1st.
They’ll be giving away gift certificates, products, and charitable donations. The first day, they will ask blog readers to tell them what charity is important to them and why. They’ll pick one winner and donate $250 to their charity.
The winners for the 12 days of prizes will be announced on December 25.
3. Don’t forget that if you want to participate in the Dear Army Family project, you need to get your cards in the mail today.
I wish I had two more things so I could have a list of five, but Caroline is threatening to run away if she can’t get on the computer and play various games on Nick Jr.
It’s a lot of drama.
