my washer broke (AGAIN) last friday.
it won't be repaired until NEXT thursday
my laptop has been unusable since saturday.
i have been feeling VERY out of my element without it.
and i may have cried.
i miss it.
i have pics of the africa shirts i made….but i can't load them anywhere so they won't be for sale tomorrow because i can't send them.
(don't forget to shop the Water4Christmas etsy shop on friday)
i have pictures of a lovely thanksgiving but it will be later that you get to see those too.
i brought 8 baskets of laundry to my moms for thanksgiving.
i did them all.
the toilet overflowed twice since we've been here.
my grandma fell this morning without her life alert necklace on.
she said "my first thought was "i've fallen and i can't get up!"
she snorts when she laughs.
she definitely snorted.
i ate too many sweet potatoes today.
i am going to bed now.
i am getting up for black friday.
at 6 AM…not 4.
old navy, target and whatever else that looks like fun.
with a non-fat-sugar-free-peppermint latte in my hand.
good night.
sorry this is the most boring post ever.
🙂
are you shopping for any special deals tomorrow?
(p.s. erin condren is 50% on friday….)
Wendy - I too am washing machineless ;(
My big laptop needs a new battery & charger … so I’ve been squinting on a little teenie tiny netbook.
Fortunately my toilet has not overflowed … but our water heater went & we’re still drying out the basement carpet.
We are lucky to have such minimal troubles. My little girls are fed & healthy — so life is good 🙂
Lori Austin - Not boring…we love you pics or not. 🙂
So sorry about the washing machine and computer. Booo! I grew up without a washer/dryer in my house and have NO idea how my mom didn’t go insane. Laundry mat every Saturday…uggh.
I am SO thankful for that convenience in my home.
Black Friday was a little sad for me this year. I’ve been shopping with my bff for the past 10 years, but she had surgery last week and couldn’t go out. Not as much fun when you don’t have your friend to stand in line with, drink lattes with and talk and talk about the great deal you just scored. We did have lunch together though – that made me smile.
Have a great weekend!!
Bobbie - never boring! I came and dropped the family off at my inlaws for the night and then went shopping until 3 am, crashed on their couch for two hours and then went back out to get the cheap rug at Home Depot that I wanted. The sad thing is that when I went back out with my husband to grab something this afternoon they had almost the same stuff still at Target. It’s ok, the chase is part of the fun!
tiffany gardner - i went this morning at 6 a.m. too. it rocked. target still had everything that was on my list. sorry about your washer. that is bad news for a family of seven. hope the latte helped. 🙂
karen - Meg, I just went through your HomeSweetHome. Those are some great shots! I love your style. I swear looking at them put me in a better mood.
Valerie@Chateaualamode.typepad.com - Not boring Meg, still love your blog. We love our technology don’t we? No washing machine is really tragic. Can you imagine it really wasn’t that long ago that mommies didn’t have washing machines?….Yipes! Just to make me sound really old, I remember when we got our very first dryer! Hope your shopping was fun. I am still in my jammies and NOT going shopping 🙂 Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Holly - boo on the washing machine and laptop! I hope you get them fixed soon! Glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
michelle - My dishwasher is on the fritz…blah for not worthy appliances. 🙁 I would cry too without my computer … just so you know. 🙂
I stayed up ALL night last night. I didn’t go to bed until 6am…ironically when you were getting UP! Walmart was pretty much vomitous. I watched people practically kill each other over a trampoline. Also watched a little boy get knocked down. Disgusting. Target, however, was wonderful – good, friendly crowds, no chaos, helpful employees…this why I love them dearly. I then spent the remainder of the evening sitting outside of Sports Authority trying to win an awesome scratch off gift card. First 80 people in line got them. I was number 12. I got $10. lol! Oh well…had fun with the masses & it gives me an excuse to drink more coffee today! 🙂 Hope your weekend is SUHWEET! 🙂
TinaM. - lol, we live very similar lives. good to know I’m not the only one.
Colleen - Our dishwasher has been broken for a month – it broke right when two of our friends moved in with us while their house is being built!! Yeah, I cried as well.
Amy Lynne - I hope your stuff gets fixed soon! Have fun shopping…I don’t think I’m brave enough for that!
Dawn - Oh NO! Washing machine interruptions are the WORST!
Followed by computer glitches. OY!
I am heading out to shop. Leaving soon.
Want the flannel deals at JoAnns. I make pillowcases for my grands every year. Fun ones.
Stocking up, you know?
happy shopping!
D
Mae - Sounds like an exhausting week!! Enjoy yourself tomorrow!
Leah - Happy Thanksgiving, Meg! Thanks for always brightening my day with your blog (even if pictures aren’t present).
Katy @ Live Laugh Love Craft - Even without pictures, I still love your blog. 🙂 Hope your laptop and washer get fixed SOON! A Mom just can’t survive without either of those things, in my opinion. 🙂
No BF shopping for me this year.. What are you getting?
Seriously Sassy Mama - I went to walmart to see what a Black Friday was like. I was there at 10 pm, and the parking lot was full. I was completely appalled at the behavior of the majority of the people. i was getting a barbie for my daughter and a lady asked if they were on sale. i said no, and she laughed at me. Really? My sister and I went to Ihop and had a blast. I bought the majority of my gifts on amazon right there eating eggs and drinking coffee.
Ellen J - I snort when I laugh too!!!
That’s all. 🙂
Terrie G - I may have just shed a tear because you can’t upload your pics of your africa shirts…
So excited to make what I donated for water4christmas!!
Such a cool project!
HaPpY ThAnKsGiVinG…and happy shopping!
