Another month closer to BF

Not a whole lot. Maybe some travel deals. We already got the new TV (old one died). Have the newer consoles. We are looking for travel deals to go places with our daughter for her presents.

Cruise ship part seems kind of odd.

Are you looking for a specific price and size? Big screen means different things to different people. Luckily unless there is a crazy deal on an OLED we do t need one this year. We just got an 85” to replace ours that died in August.

Oddly enough it seems outside of our mail carrier we never have the same delivery drivers for any of the shipping companies.

Happy Birthday. No postage due here. Just got mine in the mail today.

We watch some of them, I don't remember if it was a Hallmark one but I really like the one with Tony Danza in it. I also like the ones with Candace Cameron Bure in them. My mother in-law watches ALL of them lol The quote was funny, made me think about it and go you know based on the ones I've seen he's right.

I really want to try, maybe Christmas on a cruise some year soon. Maybe we can convince some family to go also. Kids are all old enough now where we could convince them to hold off on bigger stuff they get until we return.

I lived in Florida for about 20 years so I know how that feels. I love when it's cool out now after the first snow though I'm usually wishing I was back in FL especially while I'm out snow blowing lol.

I had to laugh yesterday when I was listening to the radio and they started talking about the new Hallmark Christmas movies. One of the ladies was talking about the plot of this one and the male host says wait a minute, let me tell you the plot of every one of their holiday movies. He goes on to say Man/Woman moves to or has to visit town during holiday season, meets other person and hates them. Then after a short time starts to fall for them and ends up with them by the end of the movie. I thought that was pretty correct yet still pretty funny. He said just like many people his wife and him still watch them though.

Hoping Ticketmaster has a 75% off sale for BF. Tried to get tickets for our daughter for Olivia Rodrigo, $300 a ticket before all the fees. I was like oh heck no, concerts have gotten out of hand.

Been in the high 60’s low 70’s here the past 1-2 weeks. I’m loving it.

Been getting emails from them, guess they have now switched over to Bed Bath & Beyond now.

It’s not the destination that’s weird to me as we have gone to stay with family in other states. It’s the thought of not having family around as it’s been that way my whole life. I know people do it all the time and to be honest one of these years it might be a less stressful day.

I'm hoping somewhere over the course of the Amazon BF Holiday sales they end up doing a decent deal on the new Apple Watch. Think that's what we are going to get my wife for Christmas this year.

I mean more along the lines of at a house with a bunch of family which is how we’ve always done it.

Oddly enough we have bought very little so far. Been a hectic year I guess lol. I’m sure we will start soon. Bummer part of most of the kids we buy for are all at that age where they just want money or gift cards

We have thought about doing either a TG or Christmas cruise. Now that our daughter is getting into our teens it might be a little easier to do Christmas since we wouldn't have to worry about presents and such. Let me know what you think of it and if it's just weird not being somewhere to celebrate the holiday.

Anyone working on their BF plans yet? Not sure if we will go out much this year, we are having family in town for the week and we have decided this year we want to get our daughter experiences instead of a bunch of gifts that she really won't touch. Going to try and get her tickets to a play (maybe NY and make a trip of it), concert tickets, trip to a huge indoor water park, try to come up with some other things. Then also get her some clothes and maybe some new shoes, makeup or something (miss the days of getting her toys which she sometimes asks for and doesn't play with, I sort of think she asks so that we can enjoy getting them).

I know it's still early to be thinking about plans for the day but does anyone have any yet? We just found out my wife's family is going to come into town where we live for the week so we are already making plans. Plus my sister and her family will probably come over. Figure for dinner we will make: Smoked Turkey Ham Mashed Potatoes Gravy Sweet Potato Casserole Green Beans Rolls Stuffing and Dressing (yes North and South versions lol) Homemade Cranberry Sauce Desserts: Chocolate Pudding Pie, Chess Pie, Pumpkin Pie and possibly an apple pie or cheesecake. We have some plans to take them to some cool places here to see some of the sights.

Nice prize. I wouldn't mind winning it.

Now it's even more real.

Soon the ads will appear…

A new month already. Can’t believe soon we will be in the BF season already.

I'm pretty sure they went bankrupt and all of them have or are going to close. We went in there around the holidays to pick up a bunch of holiday decor.
