I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Stephen
and I certainly did, beginning first thing Wednesday night with an outing to
see Jekyll & Hyde at the Kennedy Center here in DC. This new production, staring
recording artist Deborah Cox and American Idol’s Constantine Maroulis, was amazingly dark and chilling, making
me feel as if I was about to celebrate Halloween rather than Thanksgiving. Plus,
thanks to the Kennedy Center’s new My Tix discount program for theatergoers ages
18-30, we were able to get orchestra-level seats for just $30 per ticket – an
absolute steal!
Along with catching up on a few errands that were neglected during our trip to Hawaii, we also spent some time decking the halls for Christmas and scoping out Black Friday bargains for a couple household items we’ve long had on our radar, including a memory foam mattress topper and a good quality set of couch covers. While I definitely don’t consider myself to be a frenzied shopper always in need of the latest and greatest goody, the frugal part of me does admit to loving a good sale as much as the next person.
Did you manage to snag any great Black Friday deals, and are you excited that the holiday season is finally here?

I have been so disconnected from blogging (and everything) that I haven't really gotten in the Holiday Spirit yet!
ReplyDeleteLoved you Hawaii pics, thanks for sharing, makes me wanna go there even more, glad u had such a wonderful time!
Have a great day :)
I can't believe the holidays are officially here! Love your tree - we opted not to get a real one this year since we are leaving for India the day after Christmas and don't want to come home to a pine needle mess. But it's making me sad! I skipped Black Friday in the stores, shopped online and made up for it at Ann Taylor and LOFT after work last night!
ReplyDeleteI was working Black Friday, so unfortunately didn't get a chance to get any good sales :/
ReplyDeleteHooray for the Christmas season finally being here!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't really do any Black Friday shopping, but did go buy a fake tree from Costco this past weekend.
I do most of my shopping online and scored some good deals. I love Christmas season (minus spending all the money).
ReplyDeleteLove the tree! We put ours up, too!
ReplyDeleteGlad the show was awesome; you got a great deal, lady!
I didnt do ANY black friday weekend shopping but I am happy that the holidays are here!

Love the tree! Jekyll and hyde must have been so good. I've never been to the kennedy center but would love to see something there someday!
ReplyDeleteI did a little holiday shopping and got some good decorations at Joanne's fabrics and a pair of pants at Anne Taylor, nothing too crazy and my mom picked up the tab at both places :)
I found you through the blog hop and am your newest follower. I was kinda maybe hopin' that you'd follow me back ;-) !
