I'll do it. I'm not entirely sure what all it entails, so I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew . I'll copy and paste PogiPorkchop's post from last year, so be watching for that soon.

WELCOME!

I can beg and plead for lists, but rarely get one. I always get "I'll be happy with whatever...". With the DIL, though, I can watch what she likes/posts on social media and try to pick those things up through the year.

That may be my favorite "Why I started BF shopping" story ever! I started in the early 90s, when my oldest was a baby. I had never heard of BF, but heard about some awesome sale at Toys R US or Kay B Toys (I don't remember which). I was amazed at the deals, and the people, and just really excited about starting the Christmas season with a bang like that. The next year I told my sister "You have GOT to check this out!", and we've been BF shopping ever since. I have said, and I still stand by, if I was starting now I wouldn't do it. Due to the sale times, It's not as fun, the people aren't as friendly, it doesn't have the same feel. BUT, it's our thing and I'm not giving it up.

I've bought a few things, but like you they've been clearance items.

2 weeks from the 100 day mark!!

I get so happy when I open the forums and see there's a new comment on this thread! LOL, I might have a BF problem.

WooHoo!!

Today is my last work day this week, and I don't often get on the computer at home, so I wanted to take this time to wish you all HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I hang around Gottadeal all year, but don't post much, and I get really excited when my "GD Friends" start trickling in around Sept/Oct. SO, since I probably won't talk to you all again for a while, I hope you all have a Very Merry CHRISTMAS, A Happy and safe NEW YEAR, A love filled VALENTINE'S DAY, A fun and painless ST. PATRICK'S DAY, A blessed EASTER, A reflective MEMORIAL DAY, An exciting 4TH OF JULY, A relaxing LABOR DAY, and A scary & safe HALLOWEEN! And I hope you thoroughly enjoy whatever other holidays you celebrate or I missed (I mean no offense if I left out an important holiday). I will see you in the fall!

She's all the decoration you need. She's beautiful!

I don't think so. Unless we forgot something for dinner. A couple years ago my dil forgot the baby's milk. We were at my mom's which is 30 minutes from home in good weather, but that year was definitely NOT good weather (lots of ice and snow, we didn't think we were even going to get to go to Mom's). Anyway, I was SO glad to find a CVS open so I could buy formula. But that's the only kind of "shopping" I would want to be doing on Christmas day.

I got my ornaments this morning! Again, beautiful wrapping... http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/image2.jpg And inside: http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/image1.jpg OORAH! Thank you so much! They are beautiful, and I love them!

Very pretty! My cat loves to sleep under the tree too. Every year, I think "I wonder if she wonders why the tree isn't always here".

Santa Came! Santa Came! And, unlike the rest of you, I have zero willpower, so I OPENED IT!!! It was all wrapped so pretty! http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/IMG_1727.jpg I got a box of chocolate covered nuts (YUM!), a beautiful light up Christmas tree music box that will look great in my curio cabinet, a fun little Cat Butts magnet & field guide set, and for my cat (how thoughtful!) a CatDancer action toy. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/IMG_1728.jpg Thank you Santa! You're the best!

I had to laugh at myself this morning. After being off work yesterday, I came in to a package today and I didn't recognize the return name/address. Of course, I thought "OOOOOH, SS or OE!" and got excited to open it! Imagine my disappointment when tearing into the package and finding...vacuum cleaner belts . I forgot I had ordered them from eBay. LOL

I'm hoping for the same! I've received my shipping confirmation, but not my gift card code. Anyway - I ordered the 1tb Xbox One Fallout 4 bundle from Microsoft for $349 with a $60 gift card. Got to choose a free game, so went with Assassin's Creed Unity. I had planned on trying to get Target's deal, but for an extra $50 I got twice the memory and 2 (or 3, I think, because the Fallout 3 is already downloaded) extra games. I plan to buy the COD Black Ops III game with the gift card. But in case I don't get it in time, I bought him the Xbox 360 version for $29.99 (also from Microsoft).

Congratulations y'all!

I got everything done yesterday, except the train under the tree. At that point, if I had gotten down in the floor I probably wouldn't have gotten back up .

These are great little bowls that I highly recommend, especially if you like to take leftovers for lunch (my aunt has a set and we stored leftovers from Thanksgiving in them). I ordered a set for my mom when they came up on a lightning deal the other day, and was happy to see them there again today so I could buy myself some.

I would say it's not worth $10. bribri25 is correct, you can download the app for free and use it if you need to use voice.

The first one that promises to do so will get my vote.

Well, it rained non-stop. My feet may never dry completely LOL. But, we had so much fun regardless! And, thankfully, the freezing temps held off until late this afternoon. I would NOT want to be out there tonight!

Thank you for all your hard work on the charts! I get a lot of use out of them every year (and all year if I'm considering a big purchase ).
