Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
We've had a nice day here. Pictures will come later when I feel like taking the time to upload them. You see, that would take effort. I'd have to get off the couch and find the card reader and I'm feeling too lazy/fat to do that.
I slept in the morning until 8:30. We got to Cedar Rapids last night at 8:15. It rained the whole way, but we didn't have any trouble with ice on the roads so that was nice. Jacob went to be early, but mom, Kendra and I stayed up until 12:30 talking. I doubt I've stayed up that long since that last time mom and I sat up talking when I got here.
We had plans to go out tomorrow to snag a deal on an HDTV, but dad found a good deal online. That worked out well because we discovered that a 42" wouldn't fit into our car! Thanks to Amazon we scored free shipping and no added taxes. We just have to wait a few extra days. We also ordered a new TV stand with free shipping.
My other good deal of the day was a USB port. The 2 on the front of my computer have crapped out. We planned to look for one that we could plug multiple things into. My dad suggested eBay. I scored one for...are you ready for this? A penny. Yup! $3.50 shipping, but I bought it for a cent!
Grandma and Grandpa came over at 12:30 and then we had our Thanksgiving meal shortly after.
Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, rolls, jello salads, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs and pie! Pumpkin and Dutch Apple. Yum! I'm still full...but Jacob is chowing down leftovers right next to me right now!
We also Skyped with Erica, Jim and Logan. That was pure entertainment. First time I've used Skype. It was cool to get to see them though!
Tonight mom, Kendra and I are watching Meet Me In St. Louis! So excited!
Man, that was quite impressive that your dad got that deal on ebay with the TV and you on the port thing. Talking to Erica on Skype -- I feel so far behind, like in THE DARK AGES!!! I will have to find me a kid to show me how to do these things...
ReplyDeleteI had a nap after my HUGE FEAST - feeling fat..
I will have to check out that movie...let "me" know how it was....
Think we must all feel fat. Hate that feeling. Glad you had a profitable day.
