What a really nice Thanksgiving I had today. The day dawned cool and clear so I got lots of yard work this morning and then off to my wonderful inlaws for lunch. They are such a great family. Came home and cooked again! and ate again! and ate again! and ate again!
Got the Christmas stuff down from the attic. The fake tree was falling apart so it's off to the tree lot in the morning. I can't wait! Got all my Santa collection put up. Tomorrow I'll do some decorating outside and Saturday I'll decorate the tree.
Hope all of you had a blessed day.
Stick a fork in me, I'm done!!!!

Folks and I went out for Thanksgiving dinner this year (since brother-in-law and family went to his folks this year) at a K&S Cafeteria in Raleigh. 
Afterwards my Dad thought that a local Circuit City was open but wasn't...seemed eerie seeing a mall parking garage empty...but my mind then thought about Black Friday tomorrow!
My folks plan to be at a Best Buy for their 6 am ET sale! They can DO IT! Me...I avoid the mall and other stores like the plague during Thanksgiving weekend!! 
Anyway, then came home and watched some football...WHAT a BLOWOUT ROUT 41-9 from Indy over Detroit!!!!
For supper Mom made some potato soup and then later had some pumpkin pie that she also made...w/ a dollop of Cool Whip on it.

I avoid any stores the day after like the plague too! No way are you getting me caught up in that mess.....
Watched the 11 p.m. news tonight. They did a piece on how to plan your shopping tomorrow. Clipping store ads from today's paper, cutting out coupons, checking which store opens at what time. They finally said be careful of door buster specials. These items are intentionally meant to run out. So if you think you can breeze in there around 10 a.m., after they've been on sale since 6 a.m., by 11 when the sale is over, your chances of getting that DVD player for 19 bucks (yes a Meijer is selling one for that price tomorrow, probably junk!) is zilch!
All of it sounded like way too much work! If you wait a week, all the stores will have huge December sales - just be patient! Besides I want to pull our my xmas decorations and being decorating. That sounds stress free compared to fighting crowds at the malls!
But hey if anyone braves the crowds tomorrow, check in with us and let us know if it is really worth the trouble.

Shopping on Friday after Thanksgiving has become a tradition for my sister, my mom, my daughter and myself. It's "our girl day". My sister lives 5 hours away in Chattahoochee, FL, I'm sure i didn't spell that correctly. We have fun, look at stuff and come home wore out and eat turkey sandwiches on rolls, yum yum! We don't go at 6:00am we wait and go around 8 or 9 and most of the crazy folks to get those "sale items" are already at home. We see friends we haven't seen in a while and eat lunch somewhere nice and just have a great time.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and be safe and remember to keep Christ in your Christmas!

When we put our tree, it's to the strains of MeatLoaf's Bat Out of Hell"...especially THIS verse. 
"Oh, I'm gonna hit the highway
Like a battering ram
On a silver-black Phantom bike
And when the metal is hot
And the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotten ol' hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost!"

Ms Rob - Let us know how it went! Even though I won't venture out shopping on this day, I am always interested in funny stories, what bargains people found. Heck, around these parts local news do helicopter traffic reports on area malls! It's the only day of the year parking lot updates rival interstate traffic reports!!! Honest! "And right now, your best best for a decent parking spot is the northwest corner of such and such Mall".....LOL

This morning when Hubby took son Todd to work, people were lined out around the building and out to the highway for Best Buy. Cars at the mall were parking on the side of the raod below the mall parking lot.Son had to be at work at 6:00am(he works at a nursing home behind the mall). Daughter askedme last night if I wanted to go with her this morning, I told her No Way was I going out in that crowd. She went and stood out in the cold weather we had and now she is paying for it with a cold. But she did get the DVD player for the car and a gameboy advance she wanted along with some of the Geo Traxx items grandson doesn't have. Geo Traxx is the new Fisher Price expandable system that has trains, cars and buildings and accessories to go with it. I bought a piece or two of it for him but I did it before the holiday. I just have one more Xmas gift to get for son Jared and send it to him. He is on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Norfolk Va. drydock for repairs

We had some of our family tradition "turkey pie" which is basically most of the ingredients we cooked and ate seperately placed into a casserole, stacked in whichever manner you want and topped with biscuits or rolls and gravy and heated. YYYYYYYYUUUUMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

Kids: "what is there to eat?"
Me: "Turkey"
"We're tired of turkey"
"I'm not cooking anything"
"we're hungry"
"eat turkey"
(makes ramen noodles complaining the whole time)
