Thanksgiving

We will be going to my sister's house this afternoon...

here

Then hitting up Black Friday (or I suppose Brown Thursday?) with the gang.  I know that sounds woefully consumerist, but its actually a lot of fun (never believe anything you hear on tv).

here

Good cheer, free cocoa, lots of laughter, carols while waiting in lines, and finding lots of treasures for the people we love (not to mention supporting the economy which, for better or worse, depends on us buying the stuff we sell).  And home before midnight, thanks to the new trend of starting early.

Tomorrow we will go back out early to hit a few stores that will be opening early rather than staying open late.  Then home by mid-morning to snuggle in my chair by the fair and nap.

This weekend will be busy with wrapping the goodies (to take stock of what shopping hath wrought) and decorating the house and ushering in the holidays.

here

One more week of classes, followed by a week of finals and then winter break.

I love this time of year.

Happy Thanksgiving (& to my out of states friends, enjoy some pumpkin pie on us)!
