Black Friday
Today is the worst shopping day of the year, unless you're a customer. For some reason I thought I worked earlier today, so I was all set (and at work) just before 10 this morning. I don't actually work until 2 this afternoon. Oh well, it gave me time to get a new pair of work pants (I've already worn holes in the pair I got in July) and probably something to eat.
Thanksgiving with the in-laws was fun. We drew names for Christmas, and unlike my dad's side of the family, my in-laws don't keep the names a secret. I drew my brother-in-law (the one with a Masters in European Studies) this year, and from what I've heard, he's one of the hardest to shop for. At least I can give him a book or a gift card to a bookstore. That would probably make him happy.
The only time I braved the crowds today was going to the store because of the sock-sale they have every year. I stocked up on socks (although I over-bought, so I'm going to have to take some back today. I got socks for people before I even realized that I already got them stocking stuffers), a candle and some tree lights at the sale before the crowds drove me too nuts.
I just found out today that my manager also likes Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and she was hoping to go to the concert early next month. I told her the price of the tickets (they only have the nose-bleed sections left) and she sighed (she doesn't think she can afford them. Neither can Himself and I since we both had some pretty major truck-repairs done). There's always next year. Himself and I are still trying to get his parents to a TSO concert, but with money being so tight right around this time (and his dad having to go to work at 1:55 am), it's pretty hard.
Well, that's about it. Probably more later.
