friday (the black kind)!

• i spotted these quirky, peculiar-looking creatures (pictured above) in a display window of a novelty store.  they look so cute and menacing at the same time.
• it's not thanksgiving anymore, but i'm going to take the time to thank all the wonderful people in my life (you know who you are).  and to all those who take the time to read my blog...you are greatly appreciated.
• see this website for tips on how to live frugally without compromising your quality of life.  one of my absolute favorite sites and so informative!  and if you subscribe to their newsletter, you can get the inside scoop on what the best deals of the day are (note: it provides trustworthy links to free things and cheap anythings).
• does anyone else love audrey tatou?  i loved her in amelie and he loves me, he loves me not.  i just watched priceless and she's just as adorable.  a light and frothy romantic comedy with subtitles!  check it out (if you're into that sort of thing).
• i will not be shopping the black friday sales today.  instead, i will be at the oral surgeon's office getting my top wisdom teeth removed.  oh yay!
