Ok, yes, I did say I hate Black Friday yesterday. I will not deny that. However, I DID say that I love a good bargain (who doesn't?), so I've gone and put EVERYTHING in my studio at Scrapbookgraphics.com on 30% off sale through Sunday (sale started about two hours ago when I finished changing the prices...). You can consider it the play-along-at-home version of Black Friday! No crowds, no lines, and EVERYTHING is in stock!!!!

So I was just perusing the blogs I read every day, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing it all wrong... this blogging thing. Lots of people have photos ALL of the time on their blogs. Folks like Heather Ann Melzer, Tara Whitney (ok, the woman IS a photographer after all, so probably not the best example)... even my good pal Cathy Zielske usually has something photo-ish (or a flippin' funny video... you have to check THIS out immediately -- the chick is a comedian! Or should that be comedienne?) on her blog.

I don't usually have photos. Well, unless I've been to a concert. Or I have something new in the digi store to pimp. Or I have a freebie... Otherwise, I have no show part of the show and tell. Is this bad? Should I have photos? I don't know WHAT I'd have photos OF, mind you. I don't think you'd want to see me every day, and I know Mike would get tired of me taking his picture all of the time. I don't have cute kids or pets to snap away at. The plethora of pictures elsewhere just got me thinking that I could be doing this ALL WRONG and nobody has told me.

I obsess about the stupidest stuff sometimes.

So I have to get up at the ungodly hour of 4:45 (yes, a.m.) tomorrow morning so that we can leave early enough to get to my parents house in time for Thanksgiving dinner. They decided this year to go out to eat rather than have anyone responsible for cooking (don't blame them a bit), but that leaves us with a specific seating time, so we gotta really get a move on to get there in time (traveling today was out of the question due to Mike's work schedule).

And it's a sorta dressy place, so we will probably have to travel dressed up. Since I can't stomach the thought of either traveling in pantyhose for seven hours NOR consuming a large meal wearing them, I'm trying to come up with a dressy pants solution. I've been pondering this since yesterday. Wish me luck, or I'll be a total grouch when I get there. Since I've worked at home for seven years, I don't really do pantyhose anymore. Nor do I want to. So I'm hopeful that I can dig something out of the bowels of my closet that will a) fit, b) look cute, and c) be conducive to sitting for a long time in the car.

At least we're not flying today. The reports I saw while at the post office earlier showed Newark Airport with the worst delays in the country. Yes, my post office is kind enough to have a TV so that you can be entertained while you wait in line. It showed up around tax time this year and it's still there. This is good because there is usually a line and it usually moves VERY slowly. The travel report made me glad I'm not flying anywhere today.

Wishing everyone in the U.S. safe travels, good times with friends and family, or at the very least, something yummy to eat tomorrow. C'mon, big group hug... everybody in!

(And if I don't post for a few days, I'm just off having fun with my family and ignoring my computer...)
