orangerfulWell, we definitely did our part to help the economy this weekend!
AD convinced me to go out on Black Friday. We didn't get up early or anything, just left around 11 to pop into Kohls and managed to snag some new silverware, which we desperately needed. Plus, AD got himself some new jewelry and a cute pink Abbey Dawn dress (FYI if anyone sees the Abbey Dawn hoodie w/ headphones at their Kohls in XL, WE NEED IT!)
Then we went to Arundel Mills, which is our HUGE outlet mall by us. Got a really cute Tinkerbell tree topper and AD upgraded to a smartphone - he got a Sidekick because he thinks they are cool (I think it is because Veronica Mars used one....)
We also went to Michaels and bought a bunch of picture frames on sale, so what would have been $200 was about $60. Now to find photos of people we actually know to fill them with (though some are for my autographed photos from Dragon*Con).
Saturday, we went to the Shakespeare play in DC (As You Like It) and had lunch at Jaleo. Then on the way home we stopped by Hallmark and snagged two new ornaments - Snoopy and Woodstock playing guitar, and Ecto-1 (which plays the Ghostbusters theme). Then we bought enough cards to get a stuffed toy Snoopy that "plays" Christmas carols on the piano. (Though I have to say, the boxed cards were pretty lame. I'm going to see if I can design something for the holiday cards this year...we'll see how that goes!)
And today I tried to stay home! I did! But then I get a call at 2pm from AD and he's tell me about this awesome couch he found at Valu City. Our current couch was from 1974 and had 2 huge holes in the seat cushions. So we needed a new one. So we went over and it was half off! We convinced Amy & Joe to help us move it to the apartment (Joe has a van) and now we have this glorious thing you see in the picture. It's HUGE but it's so nice that there is space for everyone - even the kitties!
Erm...I have no frakkin clue how we'll get the tree in later this month...we'll worry about that when it happens. But right now - COUCH!
