Friday – 28/11/2014 – It's Black Friday – Getting the Shopping Mojo On!

Catch you all on the flip side if you are still functioning after your Thanksgiving dinner.

Morning KJ, g’night MS, afternoon Buttons. I don’t do Black Friday, prefer to stay home with the black cats. Probably will get out for Small Business Saturday though.
Winter wonderland drive off the mountain to mom’s yesterday – there is snow there but it’s not on trees down there. Fabulous dinner, brother did a fine job with the turkey. Enjoyed the antics of his new kitten, Lexx (must submit her pic). Came home to no power, it had been out much of the day. Did come back on though. We were in good shape though, after stoking up the fire and lighting our battery operated lights and, of course, feeding the cats.
It’s beautiful but cold here, with snow still sticking on trees.

Happy Friday KJ, MZ, Buttons, Joan and AV,

I had a great thanksgiving with my nephew and family and even managed not to stuff myself (too much!). Bummer about the power outage, Joan, but I’m glad you had a funny, furry show at your mom’s. I don’t do the Black Friday sales-I decided long ago there’s nothing I need badly enough to deal with the lunacy. But I do enjoy small business Saturday though.

I’m off to volunteer at the Veteran’s Clinic. Have a happy ~

Well, I did go shopping! Only because there’s a lovely outdoor mall near in-laws house and its a gorgeous weather day for walking around. I’m mostly a window shopper, just like seeing whats out there. Not looking for any deals…I don’t do the crazy eyed stampede thing. Crowds weren’t really that bad, except for a check out line that reached the end of the store in Old Navy. Luckily I didn’t need to check out there. Just picked up sweatpants at target for son and had some nice kid free time, which I don’t get often.

The photos are so funny today…grumpy cat is perfect! Glad to see that folks had a nice day yesterday and that Joan is back online!

Bye, KJ. Have a restful Sabbath.

So sorry for your co-worker, Deb! … how sad

… well, I’ve got a good start on switching the table decor ….. I just need Mr. AV (who is napping) to get the boxes out of the attic for me, so I can unpack the Hanukkah/Christmas stuff and pack up the Thanksgiving stuff ….. convenient how he manages to ‘fall asleep’ when I have my burst of energy/decorating mode going ….. hmmmmmmmmmm

Had a lovely visit with sister, nephew and wife today. Nephew worked his butt off all day, fixing things for me with the help of his sweet wife. My sister and I tackled my ceiling fan, glass bells surrounding the lights, etc. and also cleaned the other globes over the lights in my kitchen. Nice to clean together, much more fun… and wow does it look nice and squeaky clean! Was lovely spending time with them. The day turned out to be really pretty and not too cold. They loved how gorgeous it was here, with all the snow and the blue sky! Another pink sunset and a clear, pretty moon! YAY!
I can’t believe how great vinegar works on mirrors! Easy too, and no streaks. Used it on the inside of my car windows also. Oh, and my Bosch windshield wipers work perfect and with NO noise!! The other ones I had were so annoying.

Oh, Joan, I have to email the info on your holiday tree! I keep forgetting and don’t want to miss it!
Did you see the moon and pretty sunset tonight? Nice!!!
I would love some pizza…. How sweet of you to share leftover dinner with sweet neighbor. I bet she was tickled! I cooked my turkey at 9pm last night cause it needed to be cooked. Was up until 2:30am taking all the meat off the bones so I could throw the carcass out with garbage this am. Didn’t cook anything else yet. Just too tired and not interested yesterday.
Sister and niece also spent time trying to help me figure out how to TEXT with my new phone. NADA…. 🙁
Yes, our kits are always SO thankful to have us home with them. I LOVE to be home with them too!
Deb, that is so sad about your co worker…. SO sorry….. 🙁
