Green Room - Extended Thanksgiving Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

In honor of Black Friday we've got a three for one deal going here. Three pregnancies for the price of one!!

Gather around and place your bets (or just say congratulations). The front runner in this race to the finish is alycewilson, but the two latest contenders to announce their entry in the Idol Baby Derby are serious threats to take it all as well: eggsnail and theafaye - on your mark, get set. . .

Anyone else out there looking to throw their hat into the ring?

***

While we are waiting for the babies to arrive, we might as well do a little reading and 'riting, although not much on the 'rithmetic. Unless of course you want to throw that in too.

http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/274435.html is where we are keeping the Free Topics this week. So go on over and add your voice into the pile, or just read and comment to the people who are showing up even if they don't "have" to do it.

***

*looks into the bags that you are carrying* So, find any good deals?

Is it perhaps a birthday present for our very own comedychick?

Eh, too bad I'm not playing this season...that'd be 4.

I? bought way too many Threadless tees. Seriously, for everyone on my Christmas list to have several. Haven't decided if I'm actually going to give them away yet.

Real World shopping is terrifying, though.

I didn't go shopping! I stayed home and wrote down my dream! And ate more pie!

Kizzy Rules Of Retail #1: NEVER go shopping on Black Friday unless you're a masochist.

Rule #2: Should you decide to brave the Teeming Millions, please be pleasant to your overworked harried salesperson, no matter how aggravated you may be.

Rule #3: There is a lot to be said for shopping online ;)

I still may never eat again. Not after yesterday :)

All Amazon, all the time. Malls are for masochists.

Congratulations to all the pregnant ladies!

My ovaries are rattling now.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm in the lead! My due date is June 4, though, so I think the birth will take place after the competition ends.

What's the prize if I win?

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Lovely icon, BTW.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

LOL. Thank you!

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

And you'd be in the lead!

*sigh* If only I'd known there was going to be a baby derby....however, morning_stand beat us all. Her Julia is about a month old now.

Carrie worked in retail for 10 years...we stay away from the bloody mall if possible this day..

although we did drop Claudia off across the street from the local mall near our bio parents.

I'm enjoying the peace and quiet at the house right now... *s*

I doubt Claudia will actually buy much - it's all about the experience (windows)...

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

True! She take the prize!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

She's a very brave woman. My BIL wanted to stop into our local mall on his way back to NJ and we told him he was totally nuts for even wanting to. However, he's a diehard window shopper, so there was no stopping him.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Oh, so that's the noise I'm hearing!
;)

I hate people entirely too much to go shopping on Black Friday. Of course, I also had to work. I need to figure out what it takes to get in the Christmas mood.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

No shopping for me yet. and definitely no babies! The Idol baby boom is making up for that though!

All is well here. Still raining but hopefully it will end soon so I can at least see a bit more of the Netherlands! I was wondering for a bit if it was going to sink like Atlantis! hahaha.

hope all are well!

w00t to this comment. All of my shopping is done online. In fact, I didn't leave my house once this year for birthday and Christmas shopping, and I have something for everyone. Thanks, Amazon.

If I want masochism, there are clubs for that.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Wow! Lots and lots and lots o'babies. Congrats to all on the happy announcements!

Alas, genetics prevent me from throwing my own hat into the ring. :-) And you can keep the 'rithmetic, thanks.

As for Black Friday... oh hell no. I want to keep all limbs firmly attached where they are. They're brutal out there, man. So no bags for you to poke through.

Today is filled with lots of loafing and lounging... recovering from Gluttonyfest 2009. Hope everybody had a great one!!!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

What, the christmas music that's been played everywhere for the last 2 months hasn't gotten that holiday spirit in you yet? :-p

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Malls usually suck but this time of year, the suck goes into hyperdrive.

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

There's Christmas music out there? I haven't been allowed outside the office in all this time. These damn leg shackles make it hard to get much further than the vending machine. And I have yet to see the appearance of the Christmas sprinkled Rice Krispie treat there.

Rule #4: Should you be out amongst the teeming millions, be not afraid to use physical force in defense of yourself or your loved ones. "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way!"

Happy Holidays! :-)

[negativeneve.livejournal.com]

I'm working on it. :)

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sorry, I'll try to keep them in check lol
