deals! laptop for $249. we arrived at 11:30 and there were already 50 people there. i was getting ready to leave when my friend called and said they were coming too. so we stayed. camped out for the night, and had an awesome time! i laughed so hard i felt bad for the people around me trying to sleep! time flew and before i knew it, it was 4 and they were handing out tickets. what a comedy! these people are crazy and desperate! come on, its only stuff! lol. in the end i left with a laptop that wasn't $249 and a couple of presents for Christmas. it all needs to be paid off in 6 months though! no interest... <br><br><br> <br><br> <a name='e17157'></a> <h2>um... not ok!</h2> <div class='timedate'> <b>11:04 PM, 11.18.2006</b> .. <a href='http://clearblogs.com/melizabeth/17157/um...+not+ok%21.html'>1 comments</a> .. <a href='http://clearblogs.com/melizabeth/17157/um...+not+ok%21.html'>Link</a> </div> <font style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" size="3">so... everyone knows that i am not a morning person! pretty much the first thing that you find out about me! so, for me to set my alarm and to wake up before it goes off is quite a shocker. well, it's not that i wanted to wake up... it's more like i got woken up! and not by kids i tell you, but by something scrapping to get in a bag under my bed! ahhhhhhh! i was so scared... i don't know why? but i was! AND! i had to go the bathroom so bad, but i didn't want to get eaten by whatever was under my bed. so i sat there and text messaged eric to see if he was awake yet... nope.. so i contemplated for about another 10 mins. and finally i hopped from my bed to my chair and out the door.. slamming it behind me! gracie had to come and protect me while i quickly changed for work and i was outta there!</font><br><br> <br><br> <a name='e17046'></a> <h2></h2> <div class='timedate'> <b>11:50 PM, 11.17.2006</b> .. <a href='http://clearblogs.com/melizabeth/17046/'>3 comments</a> .. <a href='http://clearblogs.com/melizabeth/17046/'>Link</a> </div> <font size="3"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">oh man... price just went up to $757.. not good. oh well, life goes on.</span><br style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">not much to blog about lately... my life is one big routine, which is so not me. watch kids, work, and prayer room. ahhhhhh. i mean it's great and i love it, but... </span><br style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but nothing, i guess.
