Are you shopping on black Friday?

     Some poor fool actually asked me that question.  When I finally stopped laughing, picked myself up from the floor, and was able to choke out the answer, which went something along the line of, are you effing kidding?  I hated it when I had to work it in retail and I hate it even more now.  They had the nerve to look surprised. 

     Oh, yeah, they LIKE IT.  :O  They actually PLAN for it EVERY year.  Oh My effing Goddess!!! 

     I won’t go anywhere near a store from Thanksgiving to after New Years if I can help it.  I even cringe at the thought of having to go to a grocery store during that time. 

     I swear Black Friday is when they release all the mental patients, give them credit cards, cars, and maps to all the malls. 

     I DO NOT GO SHOPPING on Black Friday.  I stay home where I only have to put up with one crazy man and two crazy dogs.

     You all have a good one.  Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Simplicity is key

 

     I have a pecan pie cooling on the back porch.  There’s nothing like making a pie for a mere two people and the second person is not DH.  DH can’t eat pecan pie but G can and she loves mine.  I wouldn’t have made the pie except she asked me to and she bought the corn syrup to make sure I got the hint.  I’m hoping she’ll give DH a slice of her pumpkin pie so he’s happy too. 

     I don’t do much for Thanksgiving other than make us a good dinner.  Personally, I’d rather go out somewhere and let someone else do the work.  However, since DH prefers staying home that’s what we do.  At least I keep it simple so I don’t have a lot of work to do.

     I hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving!
