I slipped into the pilgrim costume wishing I’d taken that deal for a month of personal training. It was a tad tight. The painted-on gold belt-buckle sparkled way on out there, pulling up the bottom of the costume. I looked like a pilgrim ready to wade through some high Plymouth Rock flood water. And bless his little heart! My little boy Ray could’ve used that month of kids’ gymnastic classes. I could see his belly button poking out beneath the faux leather Indian shirt he was wearing.
I reached down for the circular to check out the Walmart Black Friday ad, and a smile grew on my face as I rolled my arm over. But then, I was kind of rethinking the giant red and black dragon slithering down my arm from my shoulder to my wrist. Pilgrims didn’t have tats. But who passes up $70 for $150 worth of tattoos? Not this pilgrim!
My wife was looking pretty hot in the 65% off sweater dress she had on. It was pumpkin orange, so it fit our Thanksgiving theme. Why she didn’t have to be Pocahontas, I don’t know. The 55% off women’s boots deal was fitting. I could see Pocahontas rocking those bad boys!
The photographer set us up in the den. I was glad we’d jumped on that $95 for Professional Interior Room Painting ($250 Value) deal. And nothing screams, “Thanksgiving photo card!” like a lavender wall. We could’ve done it out by the tree line, but no. “Blah, blah, lighting. Blah, blah, rain.”
Where was Ruthnell? My 13 year old daughter spends more time on her hair than Somaya Reece or Ali Fedotowsky! I yelled up the stairs. “This ain’t Dancing with the Stars Ruthnell! And I’m not doing that $5 for $10 worth of frozen yogurt from Sweet CeCe’s if you don’t get down here!” I knew that would work. The door opened, and she made her way downstairs. I held back my laughter. “Dad, I look like Rich Rodriguez! Or that guy who plays for the Patriots who can’t stand!” I was proud of my composure. She was wearing a ridiculous outfit that looked like a cross between a little girl pilgrim suit and a late Soul Train 80’s love and hip hop kind of thing. Hard to explain.
Maybe $15 for $40 of custom holiday cards was well worth all of this. We were also planning to add this picture to one of the professional photobooks we got at 63% off. We were thinking of putting it after the one of us with Justin Verlander at Texas Ranger stadium. Now, granted he was way in the distance over my shoulder, but it was the AL MVP and Cy Young winner!
“Cheese!” He yelled. It scared me a little. I wasn't even looking at the camera! I was looking at my laptop. An email had come through with 50% off tools to teach kids about money. He could’ve yelled, “Dressing!” Or “Turkey!” Photographers.
