It's almost that time of year to get an MP3 player for $1 and 1TB backup drives for like $80. Actually, I don't know what the deals are but there are websites out there that do.
Why is it called "Black Friday?" It sounds so dark - like Halloween or something. It's actually because this huge shopping day tends to put retailers in the black (making a profit) versus being in the red (taking a loss). This holiday shopping can make or break a lot of businesses.
Let's get out there and shop, people! Let's get the economy moving the old fashioned way - without the Government bailing everything out. Spend a little cash. :-)
I was talking with someone last week and I think they said that they wanted to donate to charity once they started making more money.
It just seems to me that if you're not donating to charity now, when you don't have "more money" that you probably won't do it when you do have "more money" but I may be wrong. I know that if I was making more, I'd donate more for sure.
I knew it was going to be a good meal but I wasn't prepared for what I was about to eat.
Yesterday, on Saturday, on a whim, I stopped at Ken's Meats and Deli on Monona Drive and picked up 2 Burgundy Pepper Steaks and 4 1/4 lb. hot dogs (no, the hot dogs were not the best part but they were good, too). So tonight, Sunday nigh, I was going to broil them but said forget that and then put them on the grill.
Whoa!
Let me say that again...
Whoa!
They were SO good. Actually, I just had one. I just hope the leftovers will be just as good.
I had them once before - last year at Lennart's house. Somehow mine tasted better. I don't know how. If you want a treat, it's not too late to grill out!
I had fun at Casey and Amyee's Halloween party out in Evansville. There were probably about 20 people there showing off their superheroes themed Halloween costumes. I went as Fat Batman (or "Fat Bat"), which was a hit (and hot indoors).
We played some games - inside and out. The weather was good. We had a fire going in the fire pit (which Casey nearly destroyed by using the leaf blower to help get it going). We played "7 Steps" outside, which was kind of like "red light, green light."
Click into the story to see more costumes. I have a few here that Amyee took, so thanks Amyee!
