* Morning Walk 1 hour 6 minutes.  I collected 66 cans this morning!  (brought a plastic grocery bag with me).  Listened to the Diane Rehm show on iPod - President Elect Obama's Economic Team.  Very lively conversation and some great call-in and email questions/comments from listeners.

*  I saw on CNN.com and workplace gossip that there were many injuries and a death during the shopping rush on Black Friday.  Last year, the first time in my life, I participated in the day after Thanksgiving sales.  I'll never to it again.  The savings are not enough for the amount of negative energy and stress you have to take on. 

* Well, it's supposed to rain tomorrow - that sucks since I have a vacation day.  I'm going to stay home and clean house - organize - and maybe get the extra room organized to become a "project" room for Sierra (and I). 

* Sunday first thing bright and early - weather permitting - I'm heading out to Lost Maples National Park to hike.  Sierra might come with and draw - etc. while I play.  That afternoon I am supposed to go to Schlitterbahn with my friend Roger; however, I talked to him on Thanksgiving - and he sounded pretty conjested.  I'm not going to count on him for doing anything Sunday.

Agreed!

I have never shopped on this day ever. I forgot to shop for the gerbils so I had to rush out to a couple of pet stores. I am so glad that there was hardly anyone in either store.

The majority of dogs there where at the salon getting their hair done. I don't know why because the holiday is over and the next one isn't until next month!

The boys score $70.00 worth of presents. New tank, some more tunnels, a new warm house for winter and a couple of bags of Timothy hay, 2 rolly balls and a new connection for Gerbil Flags over Texas. It's a spinning/running wheel that connects to the toobs.

Now I am done shopping until the end of January.

Today I did the post-mortem on your computer. I saved 2 items for donor parts for a possible Frankenstein machine and your mother board and cpu to personally experiment on because I can't really use it any way except for experiments since it's so old.

I wonder if the computer museum somewhere that needs some pre-historic parts..... :-)

Cool on the Gerbil stuff. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could make it so they became part of the decor - you could make the tunnels snake up the walls and across etc. - like they do with train sets!

Actually I have thought of that. Those tunnels are expensive so I buy a few at a time.

We already have another job we are working on now so I am looking forward to that. It's for trade of services with the mechanic. I am trading it for my tail lights, oil change and winterizing.

I like bartering. Especially if things get really bad we have a barter club intact.

I agree, I decided I was done with Black Friday shopping a few years ago. It is incredibly negative energy and ugliness. I do a lot of shopping online anyway.
