I hope you all have a fantastic holiday with your families! I know I will.
------------
I said last week we were planning a trip to New York City for Saturday.. we decided to hold off. We weren't sure of how the weather was going to be so we just stayed home.
------------------
I FOUND MY RING!
Since it's Christmas time it's time for a tree. In order to have the living room livable we had to re-arrange the living room.
The following picture was done in paint in August. That's what the living room normally looks like.
The living room now:
The big t or cross or whatever you refer to it as is the Christmas tree. The coffee table has been moved to the basement for now.
Merry Christmas Caitlin, Collin, Emalle, and Brandon.
Jeans from Aeropostale $19.80
Christmas is right around the corner. I am almost done shopping. I have Abbie's stuff, Preston's stuff, Ryan's stuff, Mom and Dad's, sister's, brother,and nieces and nephews
I'm not completely done with Ryan. I'll finish him in the next week or so. I save money all year long which is why I can spend so much at the holiday. The total between everyone is $584.34.
I spent $87.15 on my sister Caitlin's family.
I spent 100.65 on my sister Jocelyn's family. I spent more because she has a bigger family.
I spent $50 on my brother Tyler.
I spent $50 on my parents.
I spent $86.60 on Ryan so far.
I spent $105.97 on Abbie and $103.97 on Preston.
I'll post pictures and details later. I got Preston and Abbie all clothing because they need it and will get toys from the rest of the family.
And, I got good deals on everything.
I had a good post lined up about how I still did not recieve any child support for Abbie. This has been going on for a few months now.. I know I'm luckier than other women out there who have kids 10+ years old and still didn't recieve anything. But, whatever. I'll give him until the start of the new year. I really could use this money now since it's the holiday season.. but, I'll cut him a break.
Now, my post has to do with Christmas decorations. I'm starting this post at 3:04.. and doubt it will get finished anytime soon.. so whatever.
We ate all the turkey. Finally. But, it was ohhh so yummy in my tummy :)
We started the holiday season off by shopping oh so early on Black Friday. By we on black friday, I mean my sister and I. We were on our way by 3:15 and in Harrisburg by 4. We went to the Bon-ton first to get one of those comforters that were on sale. Then we went to wal-mart. We were going to go to Target.. but the line was outragous and it wasn't worth it. After that we headed to McDonald's for a bite to eat and then we headed to Boscov's. We went back to the Bon-ton to pick up more of those comforters for other people who wanted them. After that we went throughout the mall to different stores, stopping at Aeropostale, Hollister, and American Eagle. I'm not so fond of Hollister and American Eagle anymore. As money gets tighter it gets harder to spend that money. So Aeropostale is good. Everyone thinks their prices are outragous.. and really, they aren't. We then went to Foot Locker and then left and went over to Kohls to get some jeans and then headed home.
Ryan and I started our holiday season off on Saturday by putting up the lights around the door and outside. We put up the stockings on the fireplace and put difference holiday things out on the fireplace. We went and got our tree on Saturday and decorated it on Sunday. It's almost done. Just a few little touches. We even re-arranged the living room so that the tree could be closer to the fireplace without not being able to walk around the livingroom.. and personally, i like it and want to keep it this way. I hung the christmas countdown thing on the fridge. We only have a few little things yet and then were done. ..
I'll post pictures if I get the chance to. .. which i highly doubt!
Sorry.. it's not a long post.. but I'm still at school. Ready to rip my hair out.
