I guess when you get in an accident [rear ended specifically] all of the muscles surrounding your vertebrae get damaged. So I haven’t been to my chiropractor in 2 weeks and today when I went today, every vertebrae in my back moved. So, the target is to get my vertebrae moving together, and then strengthen my muscles so that they aren’t out of alignment.

In other news, I’m looking to buy a new-ish car. Specifically a Jeep Liberty. I found several that I’m interested in but one of them got sold. :( I found a good one in Andover, it’s a 2007 and has 40,000 miles. One of my guidelines is that I can’t have a car with over 40k miles, and still has a warranty. I got approved for an auto loan through Chase and I’m just trying to find a car before March 16th, when my loan expires. So…..wish me luck!

Plans for my birthday are already processing…..I’m taking that Friday off [the 17th] and on my birthday we may be going out to dinner at Applebee’s in block E, then to the Twins game, and then back home to drink UV blue and lemonade. Friday when we wake up we are heading to Hinckley for the weekend. We’ll be home Sunday afternoon. I’m super excited! It will probably be my aunt, cousin, and a few friends. Seems pretty laid back. :)

I have a few people that act snarky in my life….for some reason half of them came out today. Ugh.
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving?
Mine was pretty great….after dinner there was a dart tournament and my brother won…because he plays darts all of the time.
Today I finally got to experience “Black Friday” 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’s, Fleet Farm and Shop Ko.  Ended up spending a ton of money that I don’t even have, but it was good stuff.   After we went antiquing in Red Wing and Hastings.
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’ve started my own collection:
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!!
