My girlfriend’s sister always has debt collection agencies calling her and her boyfriend because they have a hard time paying some of their bills on occasion. I was talking to her boyfriend the other day while they were over at our place, and he was talking about spending all of this money on Black Friday deals and how he’s going to buy them a new big screen plasma 1080p TV and I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I try not to say anything to them about how badly they manage their money just to keep things cool between us, but that was just ridiculous.

About two months ago I ordered a new Western Digital 1TB My Book Essential USB 2.0 external hard drive. I love this thing! I use it on an hourly basis for backing up project data at work and when I work on my home computer and it has worked flawlessly. I do a lot of video editing and I’m thinking about buying another external hard drive for those sort of media projects. Hopefully I can find one cheap during the upcoming Black Friday sales.

One of the guys I know at work has been trying to get me to buy wholesale electronics from a guy he knows in the city. He says that his brother works for an online wholesaler like Liquidation.com and Overstock and that he can buy items that they sell online for about half of what they sell for on their website. I’ve always been told that if a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is. I don’t know if I trust this guy or not.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I went bed shopping. We looked at several different bed frames and matching bedroom furniture packages at what seemed like 200 different stores. I finally just gave up on my opinion and let her pick out whatever she wanted. I spend most of my time in our entertainment room or in my garage, so it wasn’t as important to me as it was to her. She picked out a decent set of furniture, though. I have no complaints.

For the last couple of weeks my girlfriend has been going on and on about joining a wine of the month club. She heard a few of her friends at work talking about it and it sounds like a great idea to her. I keep telling her that I’m not at all interested, but I think I’m going to go ahead and join one of the wine clubs as a gift to her for Christmas this year. She does a lot of things that she doesn’t really want to do, just to make me happy, so this is the least I can do for her.

My girlfriend’s father and I have always gotten along very well. This hasen’t been the case with any of my previous girlfriends. My girlfriend’s dad actually enjoys hanging out with me on the weekend. Last month when he came over to pick me up to go golfing, he actually gave me a new set of Titleist golf clubs. I’ve never really received a gift like that from anyone before in my entire life. These aren’t pawn shop or bargain bin priced clubs. These are top notch professional quality golf clubs he gave me. I guess I’m just lucky.

I’m looking around trying to find the best deal on Las Vegas suites. I can usually find a decent deal around this time of the year for a complete Las Vegas vacation package, but I’m having a hard time finding any good deals this year. It seems like everything is a lot more expensive. I even thought about flying out to California or Florida, but they’re even more expensive. Hopefully something pops up.

The other day when I mentioned Black Friday being right around the corner, it got me thinking about the plasma tv that I got last year during the Black Friday sales. I really need to look at some TV furniture. Right now the tv is just sitting on top of an old entertainment stand and looks a bit out of place. I’d like to get a plasma tv lift with a cabinet that can hold my DVD players and video game consoles. Hopefully I can find something like that this year.

I can’t wait for the Black Friday ads to come out this year. Last year I saved so much money and found some of the best deals I’ve ever seen. A friend of mine got a new high dollar digital camera for next to nothing and I picked up a brand new plasma tv for nearly 50% off regular price. I can’t wait to see what’s on sale this year!

My girlfriend’s best friend just had her very first baby shower. My girlfriend threw the baby shower for her and really had a great time putting it all together. We got her a really nice Ju Ju Be diaper bag and a few other things. She really ended up with a ton of stuff. My girlfriend invited about 25 people to the shower and they each gave her at least one gift. My girlfriend gave all of them different gift ideas so that nobody would buy her the same thing. I told my girlfriend we need to pretend we’re getting married so we can get some stuff.
