WELCOME

2008!!!


Well, its here! 2008 has came in cold and pleasant!

I got to start the day off by sleeping until 9:30 in the morning, and then we all managed to get ready stress free to go to the mall and to get brian his CO2 for his paintball gun. We went to three different places before finding someone who had it but we got it and it was surprisingly cheap!! (4.88 at walmart) Then we went to the mall and *gasp* all the stores were closed except for the department stores....so we walked around anyways and ate lunch (i had the subway, thank you) and then *GASP* the stores started OPENING! I guess on new years day the mall opens at noon. So we walked around all over again, and I got to show brian the kind of hat I want, even though the Playboy brand one wasnt in stock. He loved it just like my mom did. Then we got some yummy scented oils warmers at Bath and Body works (on HUGE clearance), and a new power ranger blanket (also slashed down in price) for christopher. Laci whined a little but fell asleep on dad and then she was awake but happy playing with christopher (who shared his stuff) all the way home! (oh my goodness....who are these people and WHAT did they do with my family?!?!?)

So we got home and played with the paintball gun, and I started packing up all my kitchen knick knacks for the move, and then we had a nice dinner where we all laughed and had a good time.

AND....its freezing!!!! Mind you, last year it was 72* on new years day. A sure sign of a year of wierd weather to come...and it was! So now tomorrow is supposed to be even COLDER! (33* for the high and 18 for the low!!!) So I am so happy and excited with how my very great first day of 2008 went!! YAY!

Lets hope every day can be even HALF as enjoyable as today was and it will be one HELL of a year!!! :)

we thought it was closed except for the department stores at first so we got some lunch in the food court and we were getting ready to leave and all the stores started opening! LOL
