We hope to find some good deals, and we’ll definitely have fun. More updates to come as long as long as I can stay awake.

Update 10:20 am — We got an hour of sleep before starting in BG at 4:30. Pam has joined us, and we have just two more stops to make. I’m ready for a nap!

Update 1:00 pm — We’re finished shopping and I’m at home to sleep for a couple of hours. Then I’m off to my parents house to put up the Christmas tree.

Update Saturday — After 10 hours of sleep, I’m starting to feel normal again. The stuff I bought is still in a pile in my living room. At some point today, I’ll have to go through it all. Somehow I managed to come home with three crock pots. I’ll either be making a lot of soup or two of them will have to be returned.

I put up my Christmas tree this weekend. Yes, it’s early but it is all Sherry’s fault. I’ve had my wreath up (or at least tried to have it up — it keeps falling down) for a week or so, but I was able to resist putting up the tree until Saturday. I got to see how great Sherry’s tree & icicle lights looked Friday night, and that just put me in a Christmas mood. Now the hard part is controlling myself from buying a bunch of new ornaments and stuff. A new house needs new decorations, but it will all be 50% off if I can wait until after Christmas.

I bought the tree a couple of years ago when they were 75% off at Wal-mart. I picked up the lights and a few ornaments this weekend just so it wouldn’t be bare. Click on the picture to see some more pictures of my decorations. The small tree I’ve had since my Target days, and I’ve been collecting the dishes for a while. I’ll actually get to use them this year!
