Thanksgiving/ Black Friday

So the Wednesday before thanksgiving, we had a safety standdown, which is just a meeting with our command going over how to be safe for the holidays, no drinking and driving, dont deep fry turkeys, etc. So afterwards they gave us a thanksgiving dinner. the officers wives cooked all of us enlisted personnel thanksgiving treats. were talking 6 turkeys, and cranberry sauce. all the food was sooooooo good. there was so much of it!! We sat outside at a nice table and just enjoyed our meals together. As we were leaving people were talking about a football game around 130pm. I was def. game, i always loved playing football around thanksgiving. So i went home, took a nap then headed over to the gym. We only had like 6 guys for the first half hour, then a bunch of marines came to challenge us, and we got some more people as well. it was some good ol fashion backyard football. basically the misfits vs the marines, since they were all in matching uniforms, etc. It looked like something from the movie the longest yard. I thought we were going to get crushed. i thought wrong. We ended up doing extremely good against them and won. I got 2 touchdowns and 2 intercpetions, it was awesomeee. Felt good to run around and jump. I was super sore for the next 3 days though lol. WE all felt like old men after, but it was well worth it. NExt day was thanksgiving. I would be going to Pierces house to have some dinner there. I head to walmart expecting to find some apple pie and apple cider. stupid. dno what i was thinking but i grabbed some apple juice and cookies to bring over, even some flowers too. So i went over ther around 2ish, and it was just pierce, A-ball, and botht thier wives. We played a little beer pong, and got dinner ready. Eventually a couple other kids from our squadron came over to eat too. the food was again, really really good. Oh yeah. forgot to mention this but earlier the day before i joined this group online on facebook about NAS lemoore buying/selling/trading. And a guy posted something about an N64 (old school) and the game Zelda: OCarina of time for sale for only 50 bucks. there was no way i was letting this offer down, so i replied to his post, ended up being the first one too! I just got my paycheck too, it this whole paycheck was christmas oriented.... to myself i guess? Then later that morning he posted a PSP for sale fully loaded with thousands of games for only 60 bucks. 110 bucks for both of those? i jumped on that quickly, and told him i was ready alls day and had the money. We ended up meeting at a fresh and easy, i bought the items, some starbucks, and was never happier. Meow i just needed a TV... So thanksgiving night passed, and i talked to clay, he said he wanted to do some black friday shopping for a laptop at the NEX on base. I said i would go with him around 4am the next mornign since it opened at 5. we got there at 4 and the line was already like 30 people deep. I got in line, and luckily starbucks(right nextdoor) was open. So he went in and grabbed some lattes, while i stayed in line. the line ended up more than doubing while he was in there. its always so nice to see a lot of people behind you. So excited. I decided i was going to treat myself to a TV since i needed one for my new room that i was going to get when i became petty officer, and i needed to start living here. So 5 o clock comes rolling around, and immediatly every runs to theelectronics department. its funny, everyones your best friend in line waiting outside, but once the door opens, everyone becomes your enemy. Oh well. We double timed to the electronics, everyone had carriages, but you cant be manuevering very quickly when you had one, not smart on their part. i was looking around for a TV that was on sale. The best deal i could find was a 32" for 227, samsgung too which was a very reliable brand, flat screen. So I grabbed an employee real quick and told him i wanted it. Luckily i grabbed him when i did, cuz ike 10 other people needed his help right after me, but he dealt with me first. so happy. he gave me a card, and told me to pay for it and pick it up out back. So clay was already in line, and i just joined him there, grabbed a HDMI cord for my tablet, and stood patiently for the line to move. People tried cutting us two times. It was amazing the spots they were trying to squeeze in. We asked if we could help them, then they claimed ignorance. All we could do was laugh and kick them to the back of the line. So we bought our items, i was very happy with my purchase. Meow i could play games and watch netflix on a bigger screen!! yay.. So i got back took a nap, and then rearranged my room a little bit, so i could see my own tv better. i like the set up a lot. No flying that weekend, but B-14, clay and i went shopping later that friday as well. I ended up getting a sit down massage, as well as clay, and a t shirt. it was nice. The next day we went to the movies to see catching fire. military discount came down to like 575 price ticket. so we had to get popcorn. It was an alright movie. Just really hate Peetah cuz he cant stick up for himself. Oh well, it was a fun time. Relaxed sunday, got ready for c school.
