i blame it on tryptophan.

after being scolded over coffee and chastised over chinese, i've decided it's time to update.

what?!
yes, an update.


not because i have anything to update you all on, but more because my sleeping schedule is incredibly messed up and i have the time to type aimlessly into the wee hours of the morning. oh the beauty of thankfulness.

two words: black friday.
i've never experienced the chaos before, mainly because i've never really had anyone to tag along with... christopher came over for thanksgiving dinner and spent the night with the ufkin family. nice, right? sure. until i made him get up at 4:30 to brave the masses and the bitter cold in mishawaka. no shower, cold pop tarts for breakfast.

it was worth it. we waited in a line that stretched around the outer edges of super target's parking lot. it was actually a lot of fun, and so incredibly beautiful. the full moon illuminated the early morning sky and it was SNOWING! my first snow, actually, since bourbonnais has been unusually warm lately. the big fluffy flakes fell from the sky and it was absolutely breathtaking. one of those "thank you Lord for revealing yourself in this beautiful creation!" moments. plus, i didn't even need gloves or mittens since i had a hoodie pocket and christopher's hand to hold. awesome.

the best first black friday experience one could have, i'd say.

plus, i got what we came for. a 500 gb portable hard drive, for ony $80. cha-ching. not to mention a 1 gig jump drive for free (!!!) thanks to coupon clipping. and 4 dvds for only $3.99, presents for brothers and roommates. a sucessful trip, i'd say.

on the way home we stopped by mcdonalds for second breakfast.
i wonder if hobbits eat hashbrowns.

then we took a "nap" from 9-2 and bummed around in our pjs the rest of the day.
oh yes.



with that being said, i have a mix for you, jacki/sharon/stacy. (or who ever else is reading.)
