Flip Flop Fight? Is That Right?


I know that the economy is rough right now, but fighting at a local Old Navy store to get $1.00 flip flops is a bit much. I like a bargain just as much as anyone but this is a little out of hand. When I went to Old Navy yesterday hoping to get some of the $1.00 flip flops, but by time I made it there they were all gone except for sizes 5,6 or 7. Since I wear a 9/10 that really did not work for me. I wanted some new flip flop colors, but I really was not going to stand in line for them. I only get up early and stand in lines on the day after Thanksgiving sales. To read more on the flip flop fight click here.

What does this say about our society when we are fighting for flip flops, free chicken and standing in line for a free burrito. I like sales, but I do not want anyone to get hurt in the process. FREE seems to stand for "taking what you want no matter the cost." We need to think about how bad that we want the sale. I know that people are hurting, emotionally and financially, but we need to think about each other as we are running through the stores, snatching and grabbing items at these super sales.

So, let the sales flow....but let's keep it safe out there.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
