Simple America

I survived another Monday at work and took Tuesday off as a vacation day. With the Thanksgiving holiday I do not have to return until next Monday. Hip hip hooray!!! I wanted to take Monday off, but that was impossible with all the timely stuff do from work.

But now I am looking at stretching exercise so I can be ready to eat on Thursday. We are going to take it easy this year. The missus has declared a baking ban and who can blame her. Buying a pie is just as costly as buying the ingredients. Lets hear it for economy of scales. This should allow me to focus on more important things like family, watching DVDs and playing Warcraft. Also let me catch up on the 12 to Midnight books. Hope to get that all done before Thursday.

My wife’s family visits for dinner on Thursday. Really looking forward to that. Good food. Good company. Nieces to squeeze until they go whee or pop. Sales ads to peruse so we can be ready for Black Friday.

Black Friday really can be hectic. All of the crowds at the mall and trendy shops. Hopefully, I won’t have to get up at 4:00 to make the line for some super bargain. Do not see how I can avoid it though. Early rising is part of the fun of the season though. Wish me luck fighting for whatever sale I dash off to.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of those of you who celebrate. And I’m still thinking good thoughts toward those of you who don’t share this holiday. Big turkey gobbling, pie chomping hugs to all of my faithful readers.
