Random Thoughts

The past week has been crazy busy, but not really any eventful "blogging" news. However, there are a few random things I'd like to share:

1. What has been a lifesaver for me recently is GoogleCalendar. I can put all of our events in one place that can be easily checked from home, work, or anyplace with internet access. Also, each family member can be assigned a different color for their activities so it is easy to scan and see who has a scheduled event. You can also send text messages from your phone to your calendar - but I haven't gotten that far yet! If you are a busy family and want a way to be more organized, this is a great tool.

2. The Extreme Makeover house is done, so now we will wait until January to see how it looks on t.v. and if any of the people we know made the cut. The kids and myself did make it over on the final day and were able to see the entire cast as they presented the new truck to the family. To see more pics and read daily updates, check out my friend Brandi's blog - she went over everyday, got autographs and lots of pics, and may even have her kids on the show!

3. Finally - Are any of you excited about Black Friday? For years, I have always gone shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Kris' family thinks I am crazy getting up so early and fighting the crowds, but I love the energy and always seem to need something that is on sale that morning. If you can't wait to find out what the deals are, check here to see the ads early.
