It is that time of year that I started feeling the winter blues. Ugh, what a horrible month November has been! It started off with stalkers and hackers worry me. If that was not enough, then we all came down with a virus. We fought that off relatively fast but it stuck around over the weekend and that was for the pits. Thanksgiving was a disaster as we decided to eat out instead of cooking. Never again! I miss my hearty and stick to your ribs old fashioned good ele American cuisine. Yes, I want to have dressing and sloppy mashed potatoes smothered in gravy. It may be laden with high fat but I deserve to splurge every now and then. They messed up our order way too much for me to be happy. How hard it is to get an order right? The best thing I had the whole night was an iced mocha coffee. That's sad! I really wanted to say I have a great meal! Bummer indeed!
I did not even try to go out an battle with Black Friday crowd! I went ahead and shopped online and stopped after we got finished at the restaurants (yes we ended up at two-long story) going into Walgreens to buy the kids some toys. They had a great 50% off sale. I also snagged some awesome bohemian tunics for $10 a piece! I am addicted to their new tunics they have there alongside the cute leggings. Not exactly hijabi style on the leggings but underneath and abaya or at home for the dh it would be cute! The tunics would be okay paired with a long skirt or regular wide leg pants. I am all about the bargains either way it goes! My daughter turns 11 in a few days and she wants a hamster so bad! The pet shop closed up early so she was furious. I ended up ordered one online from PetSmart for like $22.99 and now it is back to its regular price. So, I got a bargain on Thursday for that price and it is a kit that comes with all the things needed for the first few days. Then I bought a few extras for her to use. I had bought the bulk pet food for her the other day arounf 5.50 lbs for $5.54 with my PetSuppliesPlus card. I found some more good deals on clothing and giftable items from Walmart and, eBay, and Zaful. I hope everything meets or exceeds my expectations. I ended up getting a new dish to prepare desserts in. I hope that I can come up with a nice trifle dish for my family.
I have a weekend party to prepare for and let me tell you 11 year olds are very picky. She is tossing between an arcade, pizza place, science museum and horse park. I think I have made up my mind with dh to do the Derby Museum, the doll cake we ordered will go home with us and we will order White Castle to take home. The good thing is they have veggie burgers now and they cook them alone away from all the other foods. This makes us very happy because we do not do pork or non Halal products. I am a vegetarian so that goes without saying that I do not do meats at all! I just hope that she enjoys her birthday. I figure a stroll through the museum and looking at the horses and then home with parents to celebrate. Trying something different than the usual Chuck e Cheese parties. I guess she outgrew it! I just want her to enjoy herself as she had dental surgery other day and seems pretty much like she wants to have fun for a change. she has three more dental visits coming up adnd I think she is upset. So, this should do the trick and cheer her up. Let's pray that the party goes well!
