I Made The News Y'all!

We were in Best Buy looking at the Wii consoles because they were priced very reasonable - $169. I've always wanted a Wii system, I think they are so fun. While we were there, I guess we counted 3 or 4 different news medias waiting around with their cameras. Well, we made the news on Channel 48! After the news reporter makes her spill, the camera pans to the right. You'll see me and Doug reading the Wii boxes. I'm wearing a blue jacket and my hair is pulled back. LOL! When Doug told me later that we made the news, I didn't believe him until I saw it for myself.

I guess it's been five years since I've done a Black Friday. Peggy and Millard kept the kids for us over night, so we were up and ready by 4:00 this morning. The temperature was around 50 degrees when we left the house. By the time we got to the stores, it was 34 degrees. Can you say BRRRRR? You talk about freezing. It was raining and the wind made matters worse. Doug and I sort of knew what we were looking for when we headed out. We knew that it was going to be crazy, so we took our time. We got to Best Buy around 5:30 and I suppose the crowd thinned out by then because it wasn't that bad in the check out line.

We debated on going inside Walmart, but it wasn't that bad either. They had some GREAT DEALS on Blu-Ray movies. I got "Julie/Julia" in Blu-ray for $5; "The Backup Plan" for $10; "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" for $5. It wasn't a Blu-ray, but I got "17 Again" for $1.96. Doug got "Predator" in Blu-ray for $5. They had HDMI cable regular $35 for $10. I couldn't get over it. Taking our time because the Iron Bowl didn't start until 1:30, we got a LOT of Christmas gifts knocked-out. To top it all off after we finished shopping at Walmart, we didn't have to wait in line to checkout. AWESOME!

Martin's had a lot of their Bama stuff on sale. Their button up dress shirts for $21, plus $5 off at the register. I found some Tervis Tumbler mugs with handles for the loved ones that like to drink coffee. I think it makes a perfect gift.

We had enough time, when we got home, for me to take a short nap before the Bama game started. I have to say the first half of Bama vs. Auburn has been WOWing, I just it continues the rest of the game.

ROLL TIDE!

I hope you had just as much fun this Black Friday as we have had.

Kenny Chesney - "The Boys of Fall"

My cousin had this on his Facebook and I had to share it with you football fans. It doesn't matter if you're a Giants or Bama fan, a frenzy starts as soon as you see your favorite team charging through the fans or tunnel onto the field, ready to play some ball. I don't know about you, but the hairs on my arms stand straight up and I get a rush of adrenaline racing through my veins when I see them and their excitement. It doesn't matter how you start, it's how you finish. This not only applies to a game, but also to our everyday life as well. It doesn't matter how you started your day, it's how you finished it. For instance, did you finish your day by ranting and raving at a stranger that took your parking space that you were waiting for or did you ask God to forgive that person for being so rude by getting your parking space? When you preview your day every night, ask yourself  "would God be pleased with me and the way I finished today?"  To get a little deeper, you could review your life and ask "how will you finish at the end of your life, when you are face to face with God Almighty?"  Something to think about.

I'm so ready for Fall and Football. It's two great events come together with a side homemade chili along with chips and dip.  I LOVE IT! 

An Actual News Report
Antonie Dodson has made a name for himself this past month.  He helped rescue his sister from being raped upstairs in their apartment.  Some creep broke into the upstairs window and proceded to rape a young lady, while sleeping in the bed with her little girl.  Why am I interested in this guy and story enough to blog about him?  Well, this incident happened in Huntsville, AL at the housing projects.  Antonie was so upset about what happened that he let his feelings get ahold of him.  Now, this guy is all over the internet from YouTube (rap remixes) to iTunes.  He seems excited that he's getting so much attention, but his intent was to catch the creep that did this heinous act to his sister.  He just wanted to get his point across to the violator.  Here are three videos for you to check out, if you haven't seen them.  1.
