Oh the weather outside is frightful...but the fire is so delightful!

Yes... It is snowing here and cold cold cold! BBBBRRRRR!!! I so do not like this cold weather! Oh well what can you do but just bear the brunt of it and try to stay warm and toasty inside.

Well we survived Black Friday. Lovie and I were up and at em at 3:00 am Friday morning. We hits Kohl's for a couple hours and stood in line 1 hour and 25 minutes but I snagged some incredible deals! So it was worth it. Next we headed to JCPennys where we found $100 coats on sale for $29.00 which Lovie and I both got each other new coats for Christmas. Not much else was found there though and the store was not busy at all. Next we headed to Target and found the rest of our good deals. I didn't dare go to Walmart on Black Friday as that place can be a nuthouse on that particular day. After seven and a half hours of shopping we where ready to call it quits and headed to Panera's for a nice lunch and much needed coffee.

Over the weekend we did go to Walmart and pick up several more things and I can say I am done with my shopping for Lovie finally. I still have a few more itmes to pick up for other people and I will be buying gifts for a homeless shelter who helps families get back on their feet, but otherwise I am pretty much done. Mission accomplished.

We found out on Saturday morning that our phone service was out. I picked up the phone to make a call and no dial tone. Which also meant no internet either. I was planning on getting on the Stream and catching up with all my comments yet I guess my phone service had different plans. Most likely it was the lines outside. When they do work on the lines they sometimes mess up other services too. It's happened before so hopefully that is the case again. I will try to get our phones fixed today and find out why we have no service. You pay for service and you expect to have it right? So hopefully I will be able to get back on the stream when I get home tonight. Thank goodness for work internet huh?

I hope your holiday was fantastic. Ours was great and we had beautiful weather over the weekend. Yesterday it started raining and bringing in the cold and the snowy weather. This week is supposed to be cold and blustery all week.

I was able to decorate the house for the holidays. It looks pretty good. We opted to not put up the big tree this year. Sometimes we do that. We have two smaller ceramic trees that we put up instead and they have twinkling lights on them. Of course I had to get out all of our Hallmark singing motion collectables. I love those things and Lovie's tradition on Thanksgiving day for the last 6 years has been to get the new one that Hallmark puts out every year. We love them.
This year's was called YUM YUM YUM. It is really cute.

Well, I need to get caught up on my email which told me I have 126 emails over the last five days, so I better go for now so I can scan them and see which ones are important and what I can save to open for later.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Sorry Gloria for the lack of Friday questions. I was up. I was just out shopping at the malls girl grabbing up those great deals! I promise you will have your Friday questions this week.

Bear Hugs and Lottsa love to you all!
