Thanksgiving was quite nice. I stayed at my sister's - we saw Harry Potter on Wed (she hadn't seen it yet so I sucked it up and sat through it again...of course the fact that I really enjoyed it had a lot to do with my martyrdom of course :)) and cooked turkey on Thursday.
I've cut apart a turkey before but I can't say it was with any artistry actually...still, a turkey sandwich is a turkey sandwich.
Friday morning was a shopping adventure to parallel none. I can honestly say I've never been shopping on "Black Friday" before...and not much in this world could induce me to go shopping at 5:00 in the morning. The sun wasn't even up. But, my sister was. And she was leaning over my bed (well, her bed...her house...I was sleeping in it).
She planned the battle-attack Thanksgiving morning: lists of sales, times, products, the whole nine yards. She's an inveterate shopper, talented too.
So, away we went. Travelled light - only a tiny little wallet purse so nothing would weigh us down, keys, and sweaters so we wouldn't get too warm in the stores. And did you know that, at 5:45 in the morning, Wal-Mart's parking lot is PACKED and that people are even MORE serious at shopping than my sister's little lark? Let me just say that it's a side of humanity I'm not too sure I care for.
But we had a good time and that's what's important. AND we got a tremendous amount of shopping done. I do have to admit that most stores have some absolutely amazing deals before 11 am on the day after Thanksgiving. I'm glad we went. I enjoyed the time with my sister. I think I'm done with that side of retail now.
