Snoooooow!

First measurable snowfall is coming tonight! Just a little, but just enough :)

Went shopping this morning again, of course. Up by 3:30, on my way to Meijer to pick up a toy box for the foster monster, and then on to Joanns for the thread cabinet. I was there by 6:20 and decided just to wait by the door rather than in the truck and it was a good thing! One of the employees came out for a break and asked what I was there for. I told her and she said they only had one, she would grab it and put it by the register for me. When the store opened, some lady ran past me to the back where the cabinets were supposed to be and hollered at one of the other workers "Where's that thread cabinet?!". Close call! (Yes, I brought it home...it's nicer than I thought)

Anyway, after that I went home and we decided to head out for breakfast and Benchmark auto. Picked up some new speakers for the little Jeep and will probably go back in January for the rest of the package :) Who needs trunk space when you don't have much to start with?

Really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. These 3:30am wakeup calls for shopping are getting old. The employees at Mejer are starting to recognize me.

All in all, I did get pretty much everything on my list and never once went to the mall. Everything I needed from there was ordered online, with free shipping. And we ordered the tv for Mama K from Crutchfield, got it for the same price that everyone else had it for (as a doorbuster) and got free shipping, and no sales tax. And we didn't have to camp outside Best Buy for 2 days (which frankly, wouldn't have made it worth it...AFAIC there was nothing worth actually camping out for this year).

Time to go play with my new stuff and check the weather report again :)
