What were the best deals? I decided that I'd been out on Black Friday enough in my life and needed a break. Of course, I've always been on the other side of the counter... Big shout out to any of you who had to WORK on Black Friday. I hope to never have to do it again!! 2008-12-01 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=601844 Wednesday, I took my dad to the VA Hospital to get a shot in his elbow, splints for his fingers and an X-ray. (It's not as bad as it sounds, he just has arthritis.) On the way out, we passed rows and rows of pictures of men and women in uniform who had received treatment at that facility. This picture that Dad pointed out was really cool because not only does he have the same last name (my maiden name), but he has a STRONG resemblance to my dad's dad and his family. Here's Uncle Wilbert: (I don't know if he's really an uncle, I'm just saying that!) 2008-11-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=598211 2008-11-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=595249 Halloween was fun. Didn't have plans until Thurs night when Chris' mom gave me a pumpkin to carve. Carved Homestar Runner into my pumpkin and will post a pic as soon as I find my phone... My impression of Homestar Runner. The brim of his hat broke off, so just use your imagination! Went to the coffee shop down the street to enjoy watching the little kids walk past in their costumes. This one family came in and saw some friends of theirs. Their little 5 year old boy walked up, all cute in his lion costume, and the friend said, "Show me your lion roar!" and the little boy climbed up on the chair, clenched his hands into little fists and gave her a roar for all he was worth!! I could NOT stop laughing!! The mom apologized profousely to all 6 of us who were in the coffee shop, but I'm pretty sure we were all laughing. :) Saturday was spent at the in-laws while Chris helped put up new siding. I carved another pumpkin with my nieces (of which I will also post a pic...wh... 2008-11-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=592613 It's always great to reconnect with long lost friends. This Saturday, I had the chance to enjoy lunch with one of my college roommates and her twin (yes! another twin!). It was great to catch up and share stories. She told me that she's single, and the last guy she dated was the guy she was with while we were roommates. She also told me that he married the girl he broke up with her for. We laughed it off and continued our conversation in another direction. I read on facebook today that he was killed in a tragic car accident this past weekend. I called to ask her if she wanted me to go to the visitation with her (it's only an hour away) and she said that she probably wouldn't go because she was afraid it would be awkward. I respect her feelings, but I'm also sad for her. It's an awkward situation. Please pray for my college roommate and the young man that was killed in the accident. For you Berea people in the area, the visitation is tonight (10/28) here. Much prayers ar... 2008-10-28 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=592129 Ok, so it took me two days to find them, but here they are!!! With my new $20 skirt from Wal-Mart. Woot for bargains!! 2008-10-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=591269 Tricked ya. Nothing new to report. So you tell me. What's new and exciting in your life in 5 words or less. GO! 2008-10-24 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=589929 Possibly THE funniest website I've seen in a long time. Anyone got any suggestions? I had posted a website that was funny earlier this morning, but I guess since it's determined by votes of readers, the topics change and it's not funny anymore. So, I'm on the hunt for a funny website. Other than Homestar Runner (which is probably by far, the all-time best website EVER...right after pleonast, of course!), what are your favorite websites that make you laugh? 2008-10-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=589539 ...was very cold this weekend. *BBRRRRRR* Had a lot of fun going to Court Day on Saturday in Mt. Sterling. Nowhere except in KY will you find thousands of people walking around, and 10% of them are carrying a riffle of some kind on their shoulder. I also saw a woman there who I'm CERTAIN they modelled those fake teeth after. YIKES! That's close, and I'm not even kidding! Hope ya'll had a warmer weekend than I did! 2008-10-20 http://www.pleonast.com/user/cellophane?l=5&entryID=587848 Sorry it's choppy, I took the video from my phone, so it's probably not the highest quality... 2008-10-15
