DRs FJL and elmore - AH! Merle Louise! I doubt she would even remember my name, but she's always been a complete and utter joy whenever I've played for her in auditions and callbacks. She truly is a piece of Living Broadway History! She always tells the best stories.

I love her in all the musicals that she's been in (that have been recorded)!

Our 22+ year old Kenmore vaccum cleaner finally gave up the ghost this week so we decided to take advantage of the Black Friday doorbuster sales at Sears to get a new one - there is a little Sears Hardware store right in town and they were virtually empty at 10 AM - a very nice salesperson took a great deal of time to show us the new models which were on sale and which were all made of cheap thin plastic - we told him that we were replacing our 22 year old Kenmore and he said he could guarantee that the new Kenmores wouldn't last more than 5 - 7 years . As he struggled to open the tool compartment with it's crappy little plastic hinges I could see that the thing wouldn't last 6 months in our house before the door was cracked off the hinges broken- he then demonstrated the Dyson Ball DC 25 normally $550 on special for $470 - however I happened to know that that same model was on sale at Kohl's (right down the block)for $399- plus I happened to have in my pocket a little card that would give me an additional 15% discount. So off we went to Kohl's which was likewise customer free - and we picked up the Dyson for $369 including tax ...and then they handed us $60 in "Kohl's Cash" so essentially the $550 vaccum cost us $309!!

And it worked beautifully on the rug, the ceramic tile floor and the hardwood floors!

Congrats on the deal, Vixmom!

I gotta tell you. I never made it to a second movie, although I checked out some transfers on Blu-Rays that are sitting on my couch like so much fish.

Yes, it sound like you got a very good deal, Vixmom! Some friends have a Dyson and have been quite impressed with it. I'm impressed that it worked so well on all surfaces.

It's interesting to hear which stores got the crowds today. I had many errands to run. I stopped in at Staples to do a return with a preprinted address label. Staples DOES UPS returns, but the woman there, who I've had problems with before, insisted it wasn't a UPS package. (It was.) I drove the two blocks to Office Depot to discover there wasn't a parking place to be had. They had a big sale on. Their parking lot is usually quite empty. The Target near me is ALWAYS busy, with lines a mile long. I avoided it. It looks to me like a few items are selling very well, while much merchandise is just sitting. There are indeed some good deals to be had; I've seen lots of mark-downs.

I did no shopping whatsoever - apparently Gelson's doesn't know from Black Friday.

I'm just being nice and lazy, and I intend to continue doing so - I'm still thinking about announcing our Holy Grail release tonight at midnight. A shame DAW is gone, as I know he'll want one, so I'll just make sure to hold it for him.

And as threatened here are some pictures of the Vixter ready for her junior prom last weekend

Pretty Vixter - which one is her beau?

bk · « **Reply #190 on:** November 27, 2009, 11:12:19 PM »

I think I will announce tonight at midnight, but mum must be the word.

None of them. They are all "just friends" Two of the boys have been classmates since kindergarten - the one with the glasses has been a friend for the past three years - he was one of the kids involved in the mugging last August

The one to her right brought her the corsage

I like the Vixter's gown with train. My prom date had a gown with bus.

I should've thought of this earlier.
