Catching Up

Well that 5 day's past in a blur. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving..  We had a good day hanging out at my sister in laws. The only thing missing was my daughter and grandbaby, both were sick.. and I am told he a had a seriously cute suit that I would have loved to see him in..

I did hang out with this little Princess, she was all snuggly and a sweet.

Friday I attempted to go shopping later in the day - I did not do any midnight sales this year, and frankly I am glad. When I got to Kohl's around 1-ish Friday afternoon the lines were still insane and people were rude as hell. I looked around for about 20 minutes and the left. I figured I'd mess with that Saturday.

I did have a moment of insanity and went to the mall. It was not as bad as I expected. I great some great deals on stuff for Little Mister and a hoodie that I have been searching for all over for a little over a year now.  Its a pain to find a hoodie that zips completely up with thumb holes that's priced under $60. Who'd a thunk.

I did finally get to Kohl's Saturday and do some shopping. Mostly D and I got stuff we needed. Though I did manage to score my father in laws Christmas present and $30 in Kohl's cash, so I will be headed back this week for some new jeans. 

Sunday was the day I have been waiting for, for months - The Denver V Kansas City game.. My lord did I have a blast. It was a great game in which my Broncos played great and came out victorious - we have beat the Chiefs in both games we played them in this year. I'm sure that will keep the flame up on the intense rivalry. It did make it easier to walk out of that stadium in orange and blue!

Practice shots before the game... 

Towards the end of the game when the sun went down and it got COLD... 

The only thing that put a dark cloud over a great day was when we discovered that while we were in the stadium (around half time) there was an altercation in the parking lot in the row ahead of where we were parked that resulted in the death of a man. Details are still sketchy on what went down and what caused his death. 

For a while we didn't really even know why were still sitting in the parking lot with no one moving until I got a text from my mother in law asking if we were ok as the news was just reporting a homicide. With all the vehicles and the tailgating in front of us it was not obvious at first that there was an issue. We started looking around and diagonally in front of us with a partially obstructed view was the crime scene tape. We sat parked for over an hour and finally made it home 2.5 hours after the game. 

Monday I became one with the couch & DVR not moving until about 7:30 that night when I went to go do some grocery shopping for the week where I spotted this..

I have already had people request NO Christmas presents!!! HAHA

I opened this post early this morning to start today's blog and the morning has gotten away from me.. Story of my life here lately. Things are just on the go before Thanksgiving next week.

I shopped Black Friday last year for the first time ever, and all though I did get some great deals I just don't think I am going to do it again.  I wasn't thrilled with standing in line for 2 and a half hours to check out. This was made easier by my brother in law coming in after he finished up Best Buy and holding my spot while I finished getting things. I also may have my grandson that night while his mom works a Black Friday sale - so that would be a deal breaker right there.

I found the perfect sweater for an Ugly Christmas Sweater party this year. We didn't do one last year.  I am hoping there is one this year because nothing says happy holidays than a moose humping holiday sweater..

Last weekend I started kickboxing on Saturday - oh lord my legs - until Wednesday I was using the handicap stall at work so I could get off the potty using the hand rails... at home I seriously considered just staying in the bathroom, probably would have if we had more than 1 bathroom. Sunday on whim D and I decided to shampoo the carpets - which boils down to ME shampooing the carpets because I just have a certain way it has to be done and CAN'T stand to not be the one in control doing it... So by the time Monday came I felt the weekend workouts from head to toe.  I also sported a hand full of blisters - next time I need to wear lifting gloves to combat the death grip I apparently use on the shampoo-er.

 I finally found a replacement pair of my favorite shoes.. I found these on clearance a little over 5 years ago and wore them to death. Finally D tossed them out after refusing to gorilla glue the sole back together - it had cracked in half and if I wore them when it was wet out my feet got soaked. Still wore them - so he tossed them...

I will saying wearing them until the sole cracks is pretty impressive since the soles are THICK!

Last night Raz was enjoying the box they came in ... Since I am ordering another pair soon he will have another box coming for his amusement. If its fits, I sits..

The week wrap up

WOW what a week.. I knew it was going to be I just didn't know HOW much of a week it was.

Let me back up to Thanksgiving...  Had a blast with the fam. I did watch what I ate but I ate what I wanted if that makes sense.  Then I vegged out with my SIL (ok hid out from the football, back in her bedroom) ...  watched tv, shopped on line and scoped the BF (Black Friday) ad's for the next day.

For the first time ever I actually did shop BF. I went to Kohl's and made a killing. I managed to get a little over $600 in clothes (for me :-) I really needed them) for a little over $200 and I got $65 in Kohl's cash AND they mailed me a 20 % off coupon for this week - so I am headed there tonight to finish up.

The rest of the weekend was uneventful, I cleaned the heck out of my house and got some order restored there and pretty much thought I was getting ready for the next week. 4 am Monday morning however found The Hubs and I in the ER where he was admitted to the hospital where he stayed until last night. Glad to have him home now!!

Wednesday I hit my goal weight... It took a few hours for me to realize this however with everything that was going on. I weighed that morning added it to the groups weight for the holiday challenge then a few hours later I went HOLD ON A SECOND.. I MADE GOAL WOOHOOO!!!!!

My knee is doing wonderfully so I am gearing up to start actually working out again, my goal now is to be toned.  Jillian Ripped in 30 here I come!!!

Yesterday I got the presale code for concert tickets .... not just any concert BON JOVI!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have wanted to see Bon Jovi live since I was 15 years old ... so this is one of those bucket list things. I am beyond excited, I am like one of those little chihuahua dogs who's gets so excited to see you they pee on your foot.  The concert is not until April so I can see the excitement level only going up from here.

This weekend I am hoping to just chill - I am at the level just above exhausted and need some downtime.  What are your weekend plans??

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll be on the "W" bench
