The Blackest of all Fridays....

I Hope everyone survived this years Black Friday!

And Turkey day!

We Bascoms

Spent Thanksgiving with amazing family and friends.

and I cooked an actual meal

other than my basic

Ramen noodles

cereal

toast

Mac n Cheese

and

hot pockets... we're healthy eaters

But I was put in charge of Yams this year for Thanksgiving and Who woulda thought that...

this...

could turn into...

THIS!?

I was surprised myself...

As for Black Friday, we went and scoped out the infamous

Walmart and Target

and it was a definite "no go"

it was probably around 9:30 pm when we drove past and the lines were already

around the block.. I didn't wanna get killed this year

But.. The next morning I told myself I was going to face the crowds

(hoping they wouldn't be to bad)

Dream on right..

Jake and I have been in dying need of a new camera sense we got married.

We've been using the camera he took on his Mission and It just wasn't in the best of shape

screws were falling out the side

had a cracked screen

You had to hold the battery in place

we were desperate.

100% of the pictures on this blog were taken with my phone

nope that was a lie 98%

the dresser pictures were from the camera

but that's beside the point.. the point is we NEEDED a camera.

I figured Smiths Meyer would be the best place to start...

by the time I entered the parking lot and had gotten to the doors

I had been called "names"

Flipped off

Nearly hit by a car

and

glared at.

people are insane!

I went straight to the electronics and found a camera that was perfect!

$80 off the original price..

MINE!

so I walked around the counter and asked the woman who LOOKED like ..well...

Him..

If she could get one of the cameras from the display

when out of now where came this sly little remark from behind my shoulder

who SOUNDED a lot like the picture seen above

Evil Woman: "BI***"

I slowly turned and said

Me: "umm excuse me?"

Evil Woman: "I was going to get that camera"

Me: "Well there is more than one, I didn't get the last one"

Evilness: "Well you stole my spot in line!"

... Of course I did! 

I stole your camera and your spot in line...

no.. no I did not!

After that horrific trip to Smiths Meyer 

I came out with

 a few bruises, Lower confidence level and!!..

 Yes.. the camera!

................................

Remember The last post how I told you I would post pictures of the bathroom once they were uploaded...

That was a lie sorry...

But here is my apology

Your favorites..Before and After

I'm sure I've explained this before but lets recap

When we bought the house it didn't have a main level bathroom and the first thing when you walk into the door was this beautiful overly large closet/room/ timeout room/ whatever you want to call it just ugly sad room.

Wait for it....

Ignore the Tools on the sink.. didn't want to move them..

Boom Boom Pow!

From the Inside

Replaced -Linoleum with tile

Ran sewer and water lines from the basement up to the "awkward closet"

Sink-KSL

Mirror-Garage Sale

Toilet- Standard pluming

Add a little paint and bead board...

and we've got ourselves a main level bathroom

I have the Husband to thank for the beautiful work

He did an amazing job!!

As for the rest of our weekend

We spent it with friends at the Brick Oven in Provo followed by a dollar movie.
