awesome/not awesome. thanksgiving week edition.

let's play awesome/not awesome.the post where i list random stuff and decide if it's awesome or not awesome.

awesome- black Friday is 4 days away. **squeal in delight**

not awesome- target opens at 5 am this year making me have to pick between walmart or target's deals. because no matter how fast we are, we will definitely miss out on something at one of the stores.

awesome- i finally printed my articles for my research paper.

not awesome- it's due by the 1st if i want it back to revise or get feedback on it. and being the type A student i am, of course i want it back.
so that means i'm squeezing doing that sucker in between now and then. preferably before . tuesday this week. hmm.by a show of hands, who thinks i can bs a 14 page paper in 2 days or less? while painting my front room, putting my tree up, baking pies with 6 kids, black friday planning, cleaning out the van.crafting christmas gifts etc. it's enough to get Bah humbug tattooed on my forehead.

AWESOME-
we have both families in town so we can do thanksgiving with both families.

Not awesome- we have both families in town so we can do thanksgiving with both families. means packing too much in between dinner at both places, rushing back and forth across town, and maybe squeezing in a movie.

Awesome- my friend told me about her christmas gift spreadsheet that she color codes every year to track what she's given to her kids, and how much she's spent. impressive!

not awesome- feeling like i'm not smart enough to put that together myself. i want color coded spreadsheets too. wahhhhhhh

Awesome! RUNNING LIKE A NUT THROUGH THE STORE TO GET BAKUGAN AND A GRIDDLE.

NOT AWESOME- MISSING OUT ON A (cheap) POWER WHEEL JEEP TO GET BAKUGAN AND A GRIDDLE. or splitting up and missing out on the fun of shopping together. sigh. i'll be fretting about this all week.

Awesome- our tradition of going out for breakfast with the ladies after shopping like a fiend since the wee hours of the morning.

Awesome- my favorite cousin coming into town to partake of the wonder of BF shopping with me.

Awesome- the fact that she's saved my black friday wake up call for 3 years on her cell phone messages. because it makes her happy.

Awesome- the fact that my kids are stoked to make pies for our traditional thanksgiving dinner pie contest.

Not awesome- actually making the pies. seriously baking with kids is not my idea of fun. baking with one is fine, baking with 6? no thanks.
