Happy Turkey Day to all my U.S. friends!
Today is family day. And my diet plans are in jeopardy. We were just informed that there is a huge buffet at my parents' house this year. MMMMMMMMM...........
Tomorrow I will be one of those crazy people who get up at the crack of dawn to catch a good deal. On the upside, I'm almost finished shopping, so it's fun to stand back and watch everyone else go crazy. If you're like me and love to people-watch, you know this is the best time of year to observe. You have those individuals who are all about spreading good cheer, and then the others who are all about getting that last toy. Some mighty interesting characters have been created during these times, lol.
Actually, it's more about the "sisterhood". Every year the girls get together, have our grown-up pajama party to gab and eat and look over the ads. There's even been a facial or pedicure thrown in. Everyone settles down about midnight, so I'm hoping to write for at least an hour before crashing in the chair for a few hours. We'll get up, grab a granola bar or something, then head out the door. Shop. Snack. Shop. Shop. Snack. Shop. Shop. Eat brunch! I can't begin to tell you how many times this annual tradition has helped us keep our sanity through job tribulations, marital issues, children's angst and more. The sisterhood rules!
Sunday we'll enjoy a second feast--told you my diet was in trouble--with my dh's family.
I wish everyone a happy holiday. Enjoy your loved ones (related or not) and take a bite of pumpkin pie for me!
HUGS!
