Oh and I found out black friday is going to be a very horrible day
Just had the most random thing happen. I was getting the girls out of the van and into the house after dropping my son off, and this woman is walking by my house. She comments on how cute my little one, I agree, etc. We chit-chat a little about kids, her mainly complaining about how she can't control her 6yo son. Mind you, her age is indeterminate, she has no teeth, hair is rather unkempt, you get the picture. I have never seen her before in my neighborhood. So I'm about to shoo the girls inside to start our chores, and she tells me that she's on her way to buy minutes for her phone, but her money won't be deposited until next week, and so could I please give her $10?
Anyway, I have no problem giving to people - heck, I have handed boxes of Cheerios out my van window to panhandlers, but give someone money to pay for more minutes on their cellphone??? Are you kidding me????
OK, so after all that nonsense, I am now off to get my coffee and start my day...
trying to psych myself up to go to macys one day sale b4 1pm. didn't actually see anything exciting except b2g2 bras but they probably don't have my size so would end up being a wasted trip, and pj's . and now w/ the 10.00/3 sleepwear tq and somebody recommending the 10.00 long sleeve gilligan and omalley sets....maybe i shouldn't even bother.
but i gotta find something for MIL, FIL, grandma-in-law and grandpa-in-law so i should really go take a look and maybe get lucky.
i don't even see my absolute favorite pima cotton turtlenecks that always sell out b4 they can go on clearance. i would think about getting a couple of those...
so far the only thing we are getting is the norelco razor from cvs for dh and hopefully that shouldn't be a problem b/c there are 4 cvs' in SIL's 2nd home town and i think they are all 24hrs and open thanksgiving. never did black friday at cvs. does anybody know how that works?
"oh no i'm good" i say, "thank you for asking"
red: are you sure you don't need help?
me: yeah, don't mind me.
I don't like reheated mashed potatoes
You can peel and partially boil the potatoes the day before. Then drain, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to finish up the next day if you really have a time crunch. I have also heard or read that you can cook them overnight in the crock pot. Never tried it, don't know how, but you might try searching that.
A word of potato advice for those want to use instant --
Use a GOOD brand not some cheap store brand. My first choice is Potato Buds. Idahoan are good too - the flavors are fabulous. But for plain potatoes I still prefer Potato Buds.
Second -- use ALL milk. The direction will call for a lot of water and a little milk. NO water -- all milk, preferably whole milk. Yes, it makes a big big difference -- whole milk over skim even makes a difference. Some extra butter is always good too.
Third - once your milk is boiling (I use the microwave) and you are ready to dump in the potatoes, dump them, then just smush them down into the milk enough to get covered and spread out a little. Don't mix them -- as in don't take a spoon and stir them around. It makes a difference in the consistency. If you stir them like cake batter they get all smooth and have that wall paper paste runny buffet potatoes consistency.
We did like the Firecracker Sesame Chicken and I hope I can get more of that. I have a broccoli alfredo we haven't tried. (I won't like it, I don't like alfredo). But that's all my store had -- I got those 2 and 4 fajita. In my little fantasy land, when I go back they will just be opening a couple cases of Firecracker chicken and I can get a dozen of these. It will be good for when hubby is out of town and just me and DD.
Last night I was sitting on the floor being attacked by, err, playing with my dog when the little one all of a sudden scampered out in the kitchen. (We watch her like a hawk since she can't be trusted) Next thing ya, she went out the doggy door all by herself and went potty. Got up the this morning and I usually call her to the door, point and tell her to go out. I just waited and watched her, next thing ya know, out the door she went. If this continues all day today, I will be doing the happy dance.
Oh, one other word of advice about carpet cleaners -- should you have your son's dog and she pees on your floor and you suck it up, then rinse with it. Do not. I repeat DO NOT forget to empty the dirty water tank. Because when you remember to do it -- You. Will. Be. Sorry.
If we would decide to go to the store -- which way do you think would be better. There is one Wal-Mart in the area that is not a super. It's a pretty small store too. It's in a fairly small town and there isn't anything else there to draw shoppers -- no chains other than Dollar General.
The other 3 directions I have Super Wal-Marts.
West it is the only thing in town, I hate that town and would prefer not to go there but will if I have too.
South has a regular Target and a few other things but no major stores that I can think of.
East has a Super Target, KMart, Shopko, Super Wal-Mart, Best Buy and some other stuff.
So, if we decide to go what do you think? Oh and who has the tutorial on how to train a husband to get in there and fetch?

Heading out in a bit to get dd's picture taken for Christmas. There was a coupon on coupons.com not long ago for $18 for 6 sheets of the same pose @ Picture People so I figure I can get some pics to stuff in Christmas cards. I don't take many pics of her once it gets cold out. Hopefully she cooperates and we get some good ones in her pretty Christmas dress.
I need potatoes, green beans, broccoli, almonds, pumpkin, sugar, flour, paprika, sage, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, basil, salt pork, rutabagas, sweet potatoes, idaho potatoes, apples maybe, bread, bananas, cream cheese, lemons, onions, sour cream, brown sugar, macadamia nuts, orange juice, whipped cream ???
Okay, this is my menu that I've been thinking of...
Turkey
mashed potatoes and gravy
stuffing
green (shelley) beans w/salt pork
rutabagas w/salt pork
some sweet potato dish - don't know what kind...
apple sauce
broccoli w/almonds and lemon butter
Banana Cheesecake
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pumpkin Pie
Cranberry sauce (homemade)
then double it...
Yup... well, maybe 1 and 1/2... I am making dinner for us + our friends, and a small dinner for a widower & his daughter that we are friends with. (His daughter will stop by on her way through TN and pick it up on Thanksgiving.) DH found out that they tend to do tv dinners on thanksgiving and was just horrified at the thought.
I am thinking starting early will be my best bet. I could make the cheesecakes ahead of time by 2 days. (of course, that means I'll have to hide it from DH...) Pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, and probably most of the sides the day before. I don't like reheated mashed potatoes, so I will probably make those the day of. I could do the smaller turkey the day before also - then the bigger one the day of. I'm trying not to feel panicky. *laugh*
The fajitas were tasty though.

honestly, since i have a huge bunch of toys from some slickdeal early this yr and from aug toy clearance, i so far haven't seen anything all that exciting so far that makes me wanna get up super early and go to the store. i might actually prefer to wake up later and make money instead of spend money. but it's a bummer anyway

And speaking of turkey, I am hoping to find some marked cheap after Thanksgiving and put a couple in the freezer for later in the year.

Okay, OP of that thread said he got the Q before it changed to a MQ...uhm. I'm thinking no?
Oh yeah, it would probably help that when I *do* go to target I actually take my purse with me...

I personally love the newest update.. So nice to use coupons, nothing beeps, doesn't matter if coupon value is greater than product.. Now, if they could just bring back my size 16's, all could be great
Had a pretty good run last night.. Tried a new cashier.. he ended up being a nice scanning jedi..
Made a few observations after my trip..
that tgi tq is really dumb
halls tq beeps on anything other than plain ole halls.. beeps on sugar free, vit c drops, and the breezers
newest produce coupon is much better.. didn't beep on the bagged veggies like celery anymore.. used to be a beeper for me
deli tq still works great on the organic string cheese and the newest tq doesn't have the "items over 1.00" stipulation
Found one of the lego GC while shopping last night.. Had to get it, even though I don't know why
hmmm, one of our cvs' just turned 24 hrs b/c the pathmark up the road closed. maybe need to be there 11pm wed nite. hopefully other people won't have caught on since it just happened in the last couple months.
i have the 13.00 oral-b ecb i have to use that wknd unless i can find another one this wk to roll the ecb. but i hardly ever cvs anymore and dh does need a new razor so i'd just rather get the razor than be stuck w/ a 13.00 ecb.
Does your DH have a recommendation? When he gets a chance can you ask him to look at HP Biscotti 17.3" [walmart.com].
Also looking at this [samsclub.com] one at Sams Club. Is it worth the price difference?
Would like something with good battery life for when the power is off. Seems it is off a lot for this block I am on. Of course, want something fast and reliable. Must have 17" and numerical keypad.

ank, yes the maalox beeps. beeped for me yesterday.
ank and kallison... on Tgiving supplies, do you guys have Rite Aid and Walgreens near you? kalli, what grocery stores do you have near you? PM me, i can help you figure out deals to stretch those $10... there are some big grocery deals going on nationally right now for tgiving stuff.
also, both of you, pillsbury has a national cat deal right now, on all refrigerated baking goods (crescents, biscuits, breads, cookies, cinn rolls etc), buy 4 get $1, 5 get 2, 6 get $3... there are great pillsbury qs out. grocery store in our neck of the woods also is having a HUGE get 10 items, instant savings GM deal... Betty crocker potatoes, progresso broth, pillsbury stuff, bunch of other things, all turn out free or near free with qs. i'm sure GM is running similar deals elsewhere nationwide.
L2B... not sure what update your store got, but boy do i want it! almost every mq beeped for me yesterday and required k1'ng with a message that said "check if item is in order and accept anyway?"
got cashier all flustered. frustrating cos i had the right items for each thing.. and get this, for all the times they pull that item is not in picture nonsense, this time all the items i got were in the picture on the q. nope, still a hassle. sigh.
ank, on spices... need mqs?
i have the mccormick tp 1/2 that just expired on monday... there are spice island 1/1s from a store flier. generous sders raok'd them to me. i could certainly send a few off to you. they expire 12/31/10
spice islands also had mqs in this past weekend's inserts.
flug, that woman sounds scary, and more than a strange encounter. it sounds like a scam, or someone scoping out a neighborhood for robberies etc. the way she finagled you into a conversation and then abruptly changed the topic - creepy. i'd keep the house well-locked, kids away inside and if you see her around in the neighborhood again, call the cops. never know what people are up to these days.
gt, yeah, i wanted to say something similar - not because i was looking for peelies, but because she completely messed up my concentration and because while running through my shopping list on one side of my brain, i was doing mental math calculating overages and padding simultaneously on the other end of the brain, while also trying to make sure i don't hit some senior citizens with my cart, and make room for an elderly couple to maneuver their cart out of a medicine aisle. there was no brain space left to play nice with a red, who, may i say already had a cart full and plenty to do. thank you very much.
bronc how are you feeling? praying for you!
dreeme, ditto... keep us updated when you get to it!
and on that irate note, hope all of you are having a good day! got to run. lots to do! more later!

Are you all curel-ed out? All of my stores are teeming with the $3.79 lotions so I am just continuing to buy them all...seems like people have moved on to another deal.
We are having our very last stockpile sale in MI on Friday. I placed an ad in 3 local papers, craigslist and hired a girl in my neighborhood to deliver flyers door to door. I better get a huge turnout. It's supposed to be cold (High of 50) but sunny so I hope people are discouraged by the cold weather. DH says that at the end of the sale we should offer ridiculous prices...just to get rid of everything...especially all my mr clean and garbage bags...the heavy stuff, so we dont have to move it. Thoughts?
