I did it! I shopped Black Friday on the bus. Whew! I should be in a history textbook, get a medallion, receive a celebration party or something! All in all I wasn’t the most impressed with Black Friday. I did get flannel for ninety-nine cents a yard and purchased enough to make 6 receiving blankets (I swear that there is something in the water I’m not drinking because everyone is pregnant).

After my sewing trip, Conor and I went to the mall. It really wasn’t any busier than a regular Saturday leading up to the holidays! Conor and I had a lovely time though! We looked around and bought some lidded baskets from Crate and Barrel (for organizational purposes) and we went out to lunch at a modern Italian restaurant called, “North.” It was one of the best lunches I’ve ever had in my entire life! Oh my! Without a doubt the creme de la creme of chicken sandwiches. Just to get your mouth watering, we were served a type of sourdough bread – perfectly crunchy on the outside and delightfully soft and chewy on the inside. With that bread came the most wonderful sun-dried tomato butter that was the consistency of clouds. Absolutely fabulous! But enough of that…

We bought Conor a new pairs of jeans (which granted he needed) mostly for the purpose of getting a free “Individuals” table top book. It’s a volume of portraits of famous people. A real interesting flip through and the perfect book for a photographer to own!

And on to Target (after first going home)! Movies galore! Although I must admit my favourite purchase was my plain, black, round neck sweater vest. I essentially doubled our movie collection (causing a small controversy and need for returns, but I’ll save that for another post as this one is dragging on; someone shoot the cat).

So I didn’t get a buttload of things on sale. I did buy enough fabric to keep me busy for a few weeks and we were able to score the things we needed! Perfecto!
