A November Poll
Because nothing is more fun than a poll!!!!
1 - November Rain or November Sun?
2 - What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
3 - Are you a Black Friday Shopper?
4 - If so, what time do you usually go shopping and what is on your list this year?
5 - What's new with you?
Re: A November Poll
1 - Cold November Rain baby!!!! I am NOT a fan of the sun in general and wonderful, cloudy, rainy days in November are BEST!!!!
2 - We are going to my IL's as per our custom and then of course shopping on black friday.
3- OH YES!!!!! Its my own personal Christmas and Birthday all in one!
4 - We usually get up around 3:00am and then are at Best Buy (our first place every year) by 4:30am for the 5:00am opening...
I want a new Ipod, black Uggs, and a new northface fleece.. however, none of those ever go on sale, even on black Friday and I usually find stuff in the ads I can;t live without
5 - Just finished the second draft of my final concentration project paper and praying that it is acceptable to my readers so I can present and be done with it. Shane is back to work after a two week vacation...
1. November sun! Nothing beats taking a walk in crisp fall air where its not too cold to enjoy it because of the sun.
2. Well my IL have something called Thanksmas where all of the people out of state come in and we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. My family's Thanksgiving is going to be later this year, my sister is away at college and will be coming home in December so we will wait and have Thanksgiving then and then Christmas a couple of weeks later.
3. I have gone Black Friday shopping a couple of times but I think I prefer to wait and do my shopping....the night before Christmas haha!
4. My list this year is for a new winter coat! I have this thin bomber like jacket that used to be cool in high school and now its time for a fancy new pea coat! Other than that some new clothes and a new Vera Bradley collection.
5. We just bought our first house!!! We are building so it won't be done until May but its in Indianapolis (Lawrence)! We are so excited!
1. November sun for sure
2. YAY, going home to chicago to spend it with my mom. I can't wait to be back home for a few days
3. Oh, hell no. Never have never will
4. N/A
5. Not a whole lot, still trying to adjust to living in Indy and getting settled here.
1. Sun! Rain is never something I like, regardless of month.
2. Thanksgiving -Thursday is with DH's family, Friday my parents come and will probably shop, Saturday Thanksgiving lunch with my family and Natalie's 1st Birthday party in the p.m., then Sunday is Thanksgiving with my extended family - -not sure that we'll make that one. Busy!
3. Sometimes, but I won't stand in line for hours before the store opens! I usually hit the stores later in the a.m., when the crowds thin a bit.
4. see above. I'm not interested in getting in a 4 a.m. brawl.
5. New house!! We officially moved last weekend. This house is 2.5x the size of our last one(plus a full unfinished basement)...sooooooo nice! It still needs some work, but we'll get there.
1. Hm, a bit of both. I only like the rain if I am curled up in fleece and staying at home. Other than that, I need the sun!
2. Hm, I think my sister just invited my family over to my house :P I generally host since it means the meal will happen on time. I know I have an IL meal at some point, but I don't know if it is actually on the Day or the day after this year (they rotate).
3. No. Just thinking about it gives me a panic attack.
4. I refuse to get up before 9am unless there is a damn good reason and shopping doesn't classify as one.
5. That's a loaded question. No job, no master's degree and very low self worth.
Because nothing is more fun than a poll!!!!
1 - November Rain or November Sun?
I agree with Elisabeth- cold and rainy if you can stay in and read and snuggle, sunny for a walk.
2 - What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Meeting my family at a cabin in Asheville, NC. Looking forward to the time with them, not looking forward to the drive.
3 - Are you a Black Friday Shopper?
I have been in the past with my sisters who had younger kids at the time and shopping for toy deals at the big box stores made sense. I haven't really been the past few years. I like to shop for unique gifts that aren't always in the big box stores.
4 - If so, what time do you usually go shopping and what is on your list this year?
When we did, we were there ridiculously early like you. 4:30 or something. We made some great memories!
5 - What's new with you?
Just waiting on Rob to get, or not get, job offers. That will determine if we're moving this summer or not.
1. i'll always pick sun
2. go to the parents house. as a vegetarian, i dont get too excited about holidays centered around eating meat, but i do like mashed potatoes
3. i usually work
4. i'm knitting everyone scarves
5. i got a new tv. so thats kinda fun, but i think DH likes it more than i do
1 - November Rain or Sun?
November Sun, I definately do not like rainy days that wreck havoc on my allergies! November Rain the song though is pretty cool
2 - What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Going back to Muncie to spend it with the in-laws and family
3 - Are you a Black Friday Shopper?
Yes, if I find things in the ads I want or could give as gifts
4 - If so, what time do you usually go shopping and what is on your list this year?
I went at 6 am last year
5 - What's new with you?
Oh just finishing up classes for the semester. Doing my year-long internship as a school guidance counselor and I love it! Just one semester left to go and Ill be done! Hopefully I can start looking for jobs for next year soon. DH is also finishing up his degree too, but he has about a year and a half left due to being held up from being in Iraq for a year!
