Today was a very crisp and clear day out. I got up @ 4AM to head over to Target in hopes of picking up an Xbox 360. I waited in line for about an hour without success. As I entered the store I was pushed by older women and also was almost taken out by a crazy lady driving a cart…. some started to run, so that got me running as well… Heh. After I picked up mom and headed to the mall for a cK Dress Suit and Ralph Lauren Top Coat. Before the sale price, the total was ~$780, after the sale discounts I paid ~$364. What a deal…

After we headed to Joann Fabrics so mom could get a few cloths for her scrubs she sows and than went to Dunkin’ Donuts for an egg n cheese sandwich and hot chocolate. It’s nice to be spending time with mom and having the week off from work.

Today was the first time in snowed in Bangor, Maine. Mom and Jack came up from Virginia Tuesday. It was good to visit with them. I got to spend a lot of time with mom.

I headed up to Dexter to have Thanksgiving dinner with the family; there were ~15-20 family members there. I had a lot of turkey, potatoes, squash and rolls… I also ate a lot of pie. I took a bunch of it home as well. After dinner we made reindeer decorations.

Last Tuesday was the US launch date for the Xbox 360. There were a lot of people at every store in Bangor lined up for 12+ hours. Best Buy had tents outside the store. I really was surprised that so many people in Bangor would do that, especially in the freezing rain. I was foolish and did not pre-order a 360, I thought I’d take my chance… I was not able to get one on launch since I could not camp due to work. I took Wednesday-Friday off and looked everyday without success. I am hoping that I can get one before Christmas.
