i got up this morning with snow on the ground... it wasn't really much, dusting in some parts, but still snow on the ground... =(before i forget, my cornish hen turned out good - tasty and juicy... we all had halves so there is still a half left. i also still have 2 crab cakes and a pot of the arroz ala cubana... lots of leftovers to choose from for dinner this weekend...
went out to get breakfast for saturday and sunday, but i didn't leave until 3pm in the hopes there wouldn't be a crowd anymore... wrong... the parking lot at walmart/giant eagle was still full... i found a parking spot almost at the farthest end of the lot. it was cooold... i went to walmart to grab the breakfast stuff, and also went around to check out the electronic stuff piled up on rows of aisle all over the store. there were still a lot of TVs, dvd players & recorders, printers, computers, etc... when you see that much people and that much stuff in a store, you wouldn't think gasoline prices are at $3+ a gallon, and rising... at least black friday pulled the stock market up, and hopefully did bring stores back into the black...
i bought a Christmas gift for R last night from amazon. a microsoft zune 30gb mp3/mp4 player... there were more good deals online than in stores, and the convenience is definitely a plus... i first saw the item at walmart's website, and found the price very reasonable at $99.99. i read the reviews, which were good, and checked the specs. by the time i was ready to order, the item is no longer available online but still is in selected branches, none of which is near our home... grrr... so i searched online and found amazon offering it for $89.99... but there is a catch - it won't be delivered until after Christmas... bummer... but i still got one because it was a good deal. it is a 30gb player!!! but i had to tell R he won't have his gift until new year's... =)
i still don't know what to give hubby... i hope my love and affection would suffice... =)
