<div class="defs">I have a few people that act snarky in my life&#8230;.for some reason half of them came out today. Ugh.</div>
<div class="defs">How was everyone&#8217;s Thanksgiving?</div>
<div class="defs">Mine was pretty great&#8230;.after dinner there was a dart tournament and my brother won&#8230;because he plays darts all of the time.</div>
<div class="defs">Today I finally got to experience &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; from the other side of the counter.  I took my mom and we went to Wal-mart at 5 this morning, got everything we needed.  Then we went to Menard&#8217;s, Fleet Farm and Shop Ko.  Ended up spending a ton of money that I don&#8217;t even have, but it was good stuff.   After we went antiquing in Red Wing and Hastings.</div>
<div class="defs">Antiquing is the greatest thing ever.  Every store has something different.  I originally got into it helping my mother look for Fenton Glass shoes and now I&#8217;ve started my own collection:</div>
<div class="defs"></div>
<div class="defs"><a href="http://www.kenglund.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_4480.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-35" title="Sharp Dressed Man" src="http://www.kenglund.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_4480-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></div>
<div class="defs">When you go to some antique stores, you can usually find old photographs for fairly cheap.  The three I bought today were each less than two dollars.  I always look at them and find them extremely intriguing.  I wonder what they did for a living, where they lived and what their story was.  So this is my antique collection. Check out the other two at my Flickr account:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetem0kid .   If anyone has tips on where I can pick these up for relatively cheap, let me know!!</div>
