My Black Friday experience.....

Well, we had a good Thanksgiving. It's always nice to be with family on the holidays. Of course we had the full spread, and I ate WAY too much. I'm guessing I've made up for it within the past 48 hours though. With all of the stores opening so early this year, I decided that I would stay awake Thanksgiving night and just go shopping. Well, at about 3am I decided to venture on down to Walmart to see what was happening there. I scoured the store for an hour or so to try an plan my strategy at 5. Then, it was time to put my game face on. I found a group of women hovering over the Chicken Dance Elmo, so I worked my way up through them. In our hour of waiting before the clerks say "GO!" we all kind of bonded and formed a 'system' as to how we were going to help one another grab what we needed when the go ahead was given. We saw people in the distance pointing to those Chicken Dance Elmos, so we knew this was going to be a challenge. My duty? Holding our buggies. So at 5, when we heard "GO!" It was on!! Our little plan worked! We all were able to get what we had wanted, and noone lost a limb! It was great. So thanks to my fellow Walmart team members, hope to see ya again next year ;) My shopping continued until 10pm the following day. I was a tad bit delirious by the time I made it home that evening, but hey, I'm almost done with ALL of my shopping already!

Excited about starting my candle business!

Recently I decided that I needed to do something other than cleaning house and running kids here and there. So, I started making candles. Soy candles, to be exact. I'm really enjoying it so far. I seriously have only been doing it for a couple of weeks, and have friends already putting in requests! I still need to come up with a logo design and print some labels, that should be interesting... Eventually I'd like to get into making soap & bath/body products as well. I REALLY think I'd enjoy that. It would be like a daily science experiment ;) I'll update my progress periodically.....

Black Friday Christmas Shopping!

YES, I am one of those crazy people who get up early to hit the sales! I KNOW I am not alone... This year it seems as though the sales are starting earlier, like, 1am early, so I may not sleep at all Thanksgiving night! I have a list of items to get, just need to figure out which store crowd I want to fight off first... I'm SO ready for Christmas!!

SO new to the blog world.....
