I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Mine was great. The parents were in, all but one kid was home (and I miss him), and the girls did the cooking – all of it. I can’t remember the last time I was able to sit down on a Thanksgiving and watch tv and enjoy company. What a treat!
I ventured out yesterday for Black Friday shopping. The difference is I go out at 2 PM, not AM. My prediction – the economy is about to surge upward. There wasn’t a parking space to be had, and this was midday. I’ve never had to fight the crowds in the afternoon, but there they were. Fifteen minutes to find a parking space, then lots of patience to wait in lines. I got what I was after, and I paid a pittance for it.
The parents are back home and the stepdaughter is leaving today or tomorrow for Maine. It was so nice having a full house. It was a stress-free holiday, probably because I wasn’t cooking. I could have several more of those without a problem.
We went out for Thai food last night – husband, daughter, and me. We stopped at the store to get some ice cream, and the girl at the checkout said “Happy, well, after-Thanksgiving, Black Friday or whatever….” Then she said “What exactly do I call it now?”
I said “Happy weekend” and smiled.
So happy weekend to you. See you all on Monday. 🙂
Happy, er, Chartreuse Saturday! And happy holidays to you, Lori, whichever ones you may celebrate.
Same to you, Joseph! Happy Small Business Saturday and the holidays of your choice. 🙂
I boycott black friday, but I am venturing out today, saturday, to good will… do deposit stuff and maybe buy stuff.
Happy weekend, etc. to you.
Happy holiday Lori. Glad to hear it was a stress-free one.
