Well, I am alive…barely. I haven’t gotten out of my pj’s today. I am vegging out being productive from my bed house with my laptop watching the Housewives of Beverly Hills marathon. Um, these chicks have way too much plastic surgery money.
I think this was my family’s best Thanksgiving yet. Everyone got along so well, not that there are ever fights or everything but when you get that many people together there can be some drama. LOL. Everyone showed up on time and we ate on time (which is a first) and people actually came prepared with to-go containers so left-overs weren’t a fiasco. This was my first holiday since my lap band so I wasn’t able to get turkey wasted but the up side of that was that I didn’t end up in a turkey coma later that night. Bwahaha!
I have to say that this Thanksgiving we were the least prepared for Black Friday. Usually we prepare for weeks, wake up at 5:00 a.m. and go buy two papers because I don’t share mine, then look through them a dozen times BEFORE we make our plan of attack. Well, this year I didn’t even crack open my paper until AFTER dinner had been cleaned up. So, I didn’t bring my A game this year and you could tell. J We shopped from 9:00 p.m. Thursday night until 9:00 a.m. Friday morning. And P.S. shopping for teenagers is terrible. I don’t understand their funky style and I don’t consider myself old, haha. I would love to buy them clothes and shoes but I never know what is in style at the moment. I think next year I am going to take them with me to pick out what they want and I will wrap it and put in under the tree. HAHA! I napped slept from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. yesterday then went back out into the madness because I had a flat tire on Thanksgiving and needed two new tires. Yuck! What’s a holiday without a flat tire, right?! So, of course while my car was getting fixed up, I ran over to Bath & Body Works to load up on their big sale. I am a B&BW brat for sure! I am obsessed with their shower gels and lotion hand soaps. My skin is very sensitive but B&BW stuff doesn’t bother me so I stock up during their buy 3 get 3 free sale. With my coupon, I get 6 for $20. You can’t beat that! Man, I sound like a commercial. HAHA!
We ended our day with a family triple date. All of the adults in my family (parents and sisters + husbands) went to dinner. I hadn’t eaten since 4:00 a.m. so I was about to eat my arm off so hungry. Ending the day with my two favorite things (family and sushi) was pretty sweet. I continue to be overwhelmed with thankfulness for everything and everyone in my life…I know.. hormones make me a tad crazy emotional. LOL!
Have a great day friends. Here is a calendar to help me you get organized along with to do lists because I know I have a 100 to do lists going on right now. Geez! This month will fly by with a million things to do. It’s the most stressful wonderful time of the year!! Right?!

And I had to check out your sale. I love your units and had to buy the gingerbread one. It was just what I was looking for.

No Black Friday EVER for me. I'm too scared. And since it's just the hubby and me, we only need to shop for three nephews and two nieces. In our family, we only buy for the kiddos. The adults just smile at each other. 🙂
I can't believe you shopped from 9pm to 9am. I can't even imagine!!

I enjoyed your funny post. I live in Canada – no Black Friday, but I bought photoshop elements for HALF price at Future Shop. Whoo hoo!

Thanks. I had a blast Black Friday & got most things I went after. Even got the xbox from Walmart for my in-laws to give my youngest sister-in-law. Just a tip on what my mom did for black friday when we were teenagers, she would hand us her ads (reluctantly) and a different colored pen for each of us. We were instructed to go through the ads & circle what we wanted (if it was clothes we had to circle the exact picture) that way she knew exactly what we wanted & she could plan accordingly. Thanks again for the calendar, it will be a lifesaver.

Thank you for sharing your calendar! I love that "alphabet"! Hop on over to my blog to get a little inspiration…"A Gift from God". I had to calm myself down and remember to not get caught up in all of the "stuff" that gets in the way of "why" we teach! =)Including holiday business!
