Bring out the stupid in people!!!
It is ridiculous the amount of people I wanted to punch in the face and run over yesterday, while I was out snatching up after Christmas sales. Though I will admit it was my stupidity for even wanting to go out in that mess but c'mon by the time things are 70% off, it's pretty much only junk then.
Anyways so Me, Big Man, and the girls trekked out to the stores and luckily Big Man was driving cause this would have been me otherwise....
Between dumb people not using their signals, people running lights, tourists, the kajillion people trying to get to Disney World, people trying to drive back home, idiots cutting us off, and just overall madness everywhere, I was ready to grab my goods and get going. I was mostly on the lookout for Christmas decor and such that was marked 50% off (you know how I roll) that I could use for next year.
Sadly, I lost that new pretty holiday basket I just bought from Michael's in the fire and the naughty Santa sign so I wanted to snatch up some new goodies and store them away. Big Man bought me two new baskets so all is well again in the Little Home but there will always be fond memories of the basket that was. Besides hitting up Michaels, we also checked out the sales at Old Time Pottery, 2 Walmarts, and Target.
I wasn't crazy impressed by the merchandise this year but I did find a couple of cute things that will have a home next year when we move to PA. Here's a couple of things I was able to get half off on:
Michaels: 2 Small Holiday Baskets
Old Time Pottery: Teddy Bear Ornament (gift for next year), Christmas Tree Decorative Plate/Serving Dish, Mitten Outdoor Lights
Walmart: Cinnamon Candle, Candy Looking Small Dish, Holiday Soap Dispenser, Gift Ornament, Another Holiday Plate
Target: New Red and Green Stockings for Big Man & Me (the others were "ruined" in the fire atleast that's what I told Big Man so I could get new ones that can be monogrammed), and a dog Christmas ornament for Mia.
We might head back out today to see if we can find anything else but Big Man insisted that we go to the places he wants to go today so we'll see how this day pans out. Wish me luck...lol :)

Girl, you are brave to head out for the after holiday sales. I have yet to do that after Christmas. BUUTTT it sounds like you got some cute stuff so, I can't complain huh?!? I bet your new stockings will be perfect for next year!
I got the salt and pepper shakers that look like candy at Wal-Mart yesterday. We were going to go out again this morning, but it's still snowing like crazy.
I almost killed someone at the Wal-Mart in this part of O-Town yesterday. Seriously, people are acting like lunatics around here!
