While we were visiting family in IL over the holiday we made a few shopping trips on "Black Friday". I don't usually get up in the middle of the night to shop with all the crazies but I figured what the heck...I was on "vacation". (Plus, my sister-in-law was already getting up to go so I tagged along!) We got up at 3:45 and were out the door by 4:00 am. The lines were actually not bad compared to those I've seen in the past in Omaha. I bought a few gifts for the nieces & nephew and got some good deals. At one point we walked through the children's clothing and I saw the cutest newborn outfit for a little girl. The top said "mommy's wish come true". I felt sick. She was my wish come true. I wished for a baby and got one. I should have wished for a baby that would grow up and live a long, healthy & happy life. I'll be more specific next time.
We hit the outlet mall later that day. I spent my saved up birthday money at the COACH outlet. A little retail therapy if you will... My new purse should look nice with the winter coat I found at Macy's. Getting that as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. Can't wait to wear it!
We had a good time with family. It was nice to just relax and be comfortable. Drank a few glasses of wine and ate too much food!
Now we're back home and I go back to work this week. I'm looking forward to it but nervous too. I know I'll be catching up on email for quite a while.
One more day of leave. I better get some stuff done!
