I can’t believe I’ve been in my new home for almost a week. There are still boxes everywhere. But we can almost fit one car in the garage now though. HA!
It’s still kinda surreal for me.
Remember when I blogged about being unsure if it was all worth it?
Two words.
It is.
Readers,
I’m running on 4 hours of sleep and credit card adrenaline to write this post so bare with me.
My friends and family that know I wake up at 4am to get the early bird after Thanksgiving shopping deals think I’m crazy since a lot of the deals are online too but to them I ask one question… Can you make money shopping online? Answer: No you can’t! Whereas since I let someone cut in front of me in line at Best Buy, they paid me $20.
Booyahhhhh!
That’s what I’m talking about.
I save money *AND* I make money.
(And the new Blu-ray player and 32″ LCD for the bedroom doesn’t hurt either. *wink*)
I L.O.V.E Black Friday.
How did all you bargain shoppers make out?
Now I’m off to bed. (Yes, I realize it’s only 730pm. Stop laughing.)
*gobble gobble*
But more importantly…
HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY’S EVE!
After I eat my weight in turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie, I’ve got my eye on a tool set from Sears for Hubs, a Dyson vacuum from Target, a blu ray player from Best Buy for Hubs, a dutch oven from Macys and …
*happy sigh*
I love the holidays.

This will be the first year that I won’t be baking anything for Hubs’ family Thanksgiving dinner.
I’m usually in charge of dessert but considering I can’t find my springform pans and my glass pie pan broke during the move, I’m not in any position to bake. Looks like good ‘ol reliable Marie Calendar will be filling in this year instead. *sad face*
But here’s what I was planning to make. It’s the thought that counts right?
Cheesecake with Cranberry-Maple Topping from Cooking Light Magazine
Sorry Family. I’ll make it up to you for Christmas.

I can’t believe I’ve been a first time (town)homeowner for 2 days now. Let me tell you. I have learned a few things in that short amount of time.
Get ready for a list. Remember I’m a listmaker. It was bound to happen (again).
1. I guess marking a box “fragile” doesn’t mean much at the end of a long moving day. I lost a few “glass” items during the move. I found the box at the bottom of a tower of boxes. The box on top was marked “books”. *smacks head*
2. You *CAN* have too much packing tape on a box. (My husband loves the packing tape.)
3. Set aside some band-aids b/c you will need them before, during and after. Last count was 13 box related cuts. Oh wait. There’s number 14 and 15 too.
4. Don’t be surprised if you are using a beach towel as a bathroom rug b/c you can’t find your “real” rugs. I mean. So I’ve heard.
5. Call the utilities ASAP. The builders will only foot the bill for so long. My neighbor learned that the hard way. Can you say… Light’s out!? They even padlocked her meter. Dayum.
6. The boxes start to multiple like rabbits.
7. You will have TONS of trash on your first trash pick up day. I think my trashman hates me right now.
8. You won’t be able to park in your garage for several weeks. (See #6)
9. You won’t know how you ever lived without your own washer and dryer before.
10. Acknowledge and appreciate all your friends and family. Without them this would not be possible.
