Awww Thanksgiving.....

and BLACK FRIDAY! LOL! We had the most wonderful time this weekend. Any Thanksgiving which includes lots of laughter, good food and company, and lots of FUNNY stories is fine with me. I even learned that my 80 year old Grandma went to Spencer's gifts in the mall recently! What a sight that must have been. She didn't know what half of the stuff was, but it was the place that sold her new favorite game of the year....left, right or center. We played and played it until we all decided we too were going to go to Spencer's and get ourselves the game. The kids LOVE playing it too...easy for anyone to play.

Then there were the sales. This year was no different, even though I did a majority of my shopping alone. In years past I went with a friend, but we have grown apart and I don't think seeing each other only on Black Friday is enough to forge the friendship. Even so, I had a BALL! I was out of the house for almost a full 12 hours and got lots of stuff done. What's really funny...all the things the kids had on their lists before I went shopping has now all changed! Of course! I bought lots of things on the lists, and now they are saying completely different items are the "must haves" of this season. As much as I like shopping and all, there's no way in hell I'm taking these things back for the newer items on the list. I don't have the "return" gene in me...just the shopping one.

Hope everyone else had a great holiday!!! I almost wish it wasn't over....or that Christmas was more like it.
