Long time no blog....

It has been a while since I updated this thing. Not a lot to report. Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. I know mine was good. It is always nice to get together with family.

After Thanksgiving it was time to get ready for Black Friday. I will say that I was not too excited about the sales this year. It seemed as if the retailers were holding back just to make sure that they made some money. Gibby and I headed to Meijer Friday morning about 3:00 am in order to pick up a couple of the 7" digital picture frames that they had on sale for $29. That is a good deal since they are normally about $80 or more. After waiting in the store for about 2 hours for the sale to actually start we checked out and headed home. Gibby dropped me a little after 5:00 am. That is when Autumn and I headed out the door. We shopped until about noon. We bought a few things, but nothing too exciting. After that we just hung out around the house.

Saturday started with cleaning in order to put up the Christmas decorations. After what seemed like forever we started assembling the tree. I always enjoy watching the kids put the ornaments on the tree.


You can see Grant getting a little air in the last picture trying to put an ornament near the top. The tree turned out pretty good in my opinion.

Since it is Sunday, it means back to work. They have cut out all overtime, which means 40 hour weeks. I am starting to get used to all of the extra time at home and I am liking it.

I have kind of slacked a little on the Mini Marathon training. I need to get my ass back in gear. I plan on starting that this week. I definitely need to get back to the long weekend runs. Maybe I can convince Chris that we need to start running on Wednesday's again. We will see.

Gotta go. Hope to post more often.

Later

I thought about running today, but that wind was chilly! I think we can work out something as far as running through the week. I also need to get my lazy butt back into the running routine.

Nice tree, btw. Any hidden Mickeys on it?
