This post is way over due. I found it as a draft and I figured I’d just go ahead and post it. Forgive the out of datedness. P.s. My brother and sister in law had twins. That’s four kids now! Yowza!

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Jason and Katie came down for our second annual Give Thanks to Crazy Fun Weekend. They came down Wednesday which lead us into the third annual night out before Thanksgiving where we had a tasty dinner and then played Rock Band into the wee hours of the night.
Every year we rotate which holiday will be spent with which family. This year Thanksgiving was with the Quills. The dinner was awesome of course and it’s always fun seeing everyone. We were treated to some special news that my brother and sisiter in law are pregnant again with their second child together (third in all)!
Angi’s dad cleaned out their mostly finished basement so we were able to get our some games of pool going and a little air hockey. It also made a great place for all the little ones to run around and scream their heads off at a safe distance from yours truly.
My mom came and had dinner with us which was real nice. She works retail so of course she couldn’t stay all night since she had to be at work before midnight but she stuck it out until almost six. That’s how much she loves me.

I’m pretty sure everyone who reads this blog knows what black Friday is.  The day after Thanksgiving in which retailers have amazing sales to try and push their bottom lines into the positive (black) after being in the negative (red).  Every year Apple holds just such an event and usually drop the price of a certain family of Macs by as much as $100.  This year is rumored to be different though and anyone who is interested in a new iPod or MacBook would do well to read on.

Apple has posted this promotional image and it looks like the rumor that this will be the biggest black Friday yet is going to be true.  The internet’s tubes were full about a month ago with the rumors that several lines of macs as well as iPods and iPhones would be marked down.  I’d say that the image backs up those rumors and this will be a black Friday you don’t wat to miss.

All you have to do is find a credit card, perhaps your rich Uncles credit card that you saw the day before.  Then log on to http://www.store.apple.com/ this Friday and shop until your credit card stops going through.  How easy is that?!
