I love to shop, but I can't imagine going today. The traffic alone would make me crazy.
Eh, extended team, ita. That's like third cousins. Draw anyway.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Nilly, I hope Khusband recovers easily.
Happy Black Friday. I fell asleep at 10 and slept until 7:30 (guess I was tired). Just about to take the dog for a walk, but I thought I would share this to brighten your day:
So awesome. I may have to put Tapeheads on my Netflix queue; it's been years.

We're up at Chez Zmayhem. Except Emmett.
Nana slept over and will be making French Toast for breakfast.
I drove EM home last night and came back, and dismembered my large turkey, and put the carcass in a stock pot and boiled it down to something I can use for gravy or soup.
Happy birthday, Daisy!
Heal-ma for Khusband!
Halfway there, Perkins - Huzzah!
Okay, that's all the enthusiasm I can muster so far.
I might need to eat pie before I have French toast.

I have no money, so Black Friday is just a day with more spam in my junk mail, and more ham in my fridge, to me.
I plan on doing some practical things, assuming the people I need to contact are open, and then cleaning up the kitchen a bit, and prepping my mind and clothese for my interview tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am at work. Despite YEARS of my arguing this point with management as HR person, we still don't give this day off. I am going to see HP7 after work, though, so that will rock.
T-day with friends was great fun. There was one tense moment, when the elderly mom of our hostess dropped in passing that Alice McDermott won the national book award because there was another catholic on the jury that year and they "stick together." That was a real conversation stopper. DH is going to butterfly and grill a turkey this weekend, so I get second T-day and some leftovers.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Quick recovery~ma for your khusband, Nilly!
The in-laws and I are heading over to the cheese factory today to buy cheese and butter. Because that's what we do in Wisconsin.

My SIL went to WalMart in the middle of the night, since the kids kept her up anyway. I still think it is crazy.
Little kids like seeing pictures of other little kids. It's kinda fascinating. Also, like to see where your trash trucks drive. Or maybe that is one kid in particular.

Whew. Friend who came to dinner did not get ill, so I will blame it on the migraine. And will eat the leftovers.
I did midnight shopping the first year I was out here in Seattle...it was insane, and not that big a bargain. I have never since.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Leftover stuffing = best breakfast ever. Kids are now consuming the last of the Satsumas, so I'll need to go out to buy more.

That's pretty bad ass.
