On Black Friday, this camera I had been eyeing for quite some time now finally went on sale. Steve and I were preparing to fight the crowds at BestBuy and go get it when we realized that we could order it online instead. So we did! It was delivered right as we were packing up to leave for Harlingen this past Friday. I was so excited that I was going to get to use it over the weekend! It is a Sony Cybershot T300.
I love it so far!!
We got to my parents around 9:30 and just hung out the rest of the evening. My sister and I got my mom a necklace and a bracelet for her birthday. She seemed to like them. You never can tell with my mom.
Saturday we did a little shopping. My sister and I went out by ourselves that morning. We said that we were going to running but went to pick up some decorations and the cake I ordered for my mom earlier in the week. We dropped them off at my grandma’s so that we could surprise my mom with them at dinner. As a family we went to Furniture Row and my mom got herself an entertainment center and the matching coffee table and end tables. It was her birthday present to herself. We went to BestBuy after that to get a memory card and a case for my camera. It is black and pink and will hold my license and credit card along with the camera. Now I can go places with just the camera and not my whole purse!
That night we went to La Playa for dinner. Dot and I left early to “Greet the guests”. We tied balloons on the chairs, put up and few center pieces, and gave the cake to the waiter. My mom was happy to see the balloons when we walked in. We all kinda talked for awhile and then ordered dinner. Steve, my siblings and I shared a padrillada for 4. It is a huge plate with beef and chicken fajitas, sausage, and ribs. It was fabulous! The waiter was an idiot though and never ordered my parent’s food!! So the birthday girl had to pick off people’s plates (mostly ours) until theirs came out. To make matters worse, the waiter then brought out the cake still in the cake box and didn’t light the candles!! I was so disappointed! He was such an idiot! After cake, we left and went back to our house with some of my family members trailing behind us. They stayed over for awhile and then we all crashed out.
Yesterday was spent on the road mostly. We left Harlingen around 3, got home around 8, dropped Gizmo off and then took Dottie home. As soon as we got back home I went to bed. I was exhausted. I feel like I have been going and going since the weekend before Thanksgiving. Luckily then only thing I have going on next weekend is the Jingle Bell 5K. Other than that, I am not getting off the couch!!!
