Readers,
Hey everyone I hope you're doing great. So, I survived the madness of black Thursday! A great thanksgiving dinner with my extended family (in laws) and my fiance Ruth than it was back to my place for some more grub prior to me zipping off to work. For those who have done the two thanksgivings every single year, I give you mad props because I don't know how you do it. After eating around 1:00 pm, I was stuffed and barely had enough room for more food when we went to my folks place around 5 pmish.
So, I was into work at 5:45 and the doors opened at six pm and the rush poured inside. Most of the night I was supposed to be cashiering but most of it was actually spent out on the floor putting things away and assisting people. The night slowly dragged on and on and gradually of course the door busters vanished, then the late shoppers wandered in at 2 am and were still looking to find something or take advantage of the deals...had to inform them that they ended at 1 am. The biggest thing I think I have learned from working two holidays is that people don't read ads or they do and somehow still think we have some secret stash of things in the back (mind you we don't). Anyways, I survived black Thursday and was so glad to see my fiance Ruth when I got out of work at 2:35 am
Of course the next day was my real birthday, I started it off by waking up really early because my brain was wide awake and was so grateful for all the birthday wishes that rolled in. Prior to zipping off to work at noon, I opened the presents from incredible fiance Ruth, she got me Far Cry 4 (which is an damned good game so far) and several older original cover Hardy Boy books *smiles* I am one day hoping to own every single Hardy Boy book because they brought me so much joy in the past when I first started reading as a kid. Then it was onto work for Black Friday which wasn't as nuts as black Thursday but it was still pretty busy. I am thankful I only worked till five pm then I went out to celebrate my birthday with Ruth. We went to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner together and had a yummy meal and for it being so busy we got seated fast and got our food fast. We followed up dinner with going to the Village Cinemas and nabbed a 9 o'clock Horrible Bosses 2 movie (My mom and dad gave me a gift card early for the village and a gift card for Texas roadhouse so I was thankful for that). Horrible Bosses 2 is funny as hell and was an damned good sequel. In Ruth's mind it was even better than number 1. Nevertheless I'd say its worth seeing for sure and worth buying afterwards
Oh and a very nice surprise was that when I came home a few days ago, my fiance Ruth had set up a little Christmas tree and it was all lit up; I don't know what it is about Christmas but its always been sort of magical to me and I do believe it always will be. There are several different christmas events coming up and am hoping to at least go to one or maybe two of them with my love
On Sunday, Ruth and I celebrated my real birthday with my family and we had spaghetti and other great food and a yummy homemade ice cream cake. It was great to have my whole family there to celebrate it. As a whole I'd say I had a great birthday in between Gaelic storm, the movies, light room 5 (hell yes!!!), some great new clothes, gift cards, money, the three pack of Mass Effect Games (looking forward to playing them only played a little bit of the first one years ago), dinner at the texas roadhouse and more than anything it was there with my family and my new fiance and no doubt my future wife
I am stoked for this next week, Ruth and I are going to see the band Flogging Molly in concert at the Knitting Factory which I have no doubt will be awesome and tomorrow I am going to the Eagle Christmas Party by myself (Ruth started a new job working nights, I am proud of her and love her so damned much for doing it), I am planning to enter some photographs this year just hoping I win at least maybe just a little bit that would be sweet for sure
Well I am going to cut this off here and get ready for work. Oh and if you have never checked out the new ACDC album its solid as hell and i'd highly recommend it! I'll catch ya on the flip side
