Black Friday: Mission Accomplished

Well, my Black Friday shopping was a success.  I got a few really good deals and didn't even have to leave my computer chair!  I can't say what I bought just yet though, my Mom reads this blog and I wouldn't want to ruin her surprise ;)  I kept my word though - I had hot cocoa and listened to some Christmas music while I shopped.  Did it help me get in the 'Christmas Spirit'? Not really.  I think I am still brainwashed from all of the Fall decorations I was looking at around me while I shopped lol.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  Ours was really nice.  A little discrepancy over how long to cook the turkey due to bad instructions I found online, but it came out great just the same.  I had a lot of help this year with all of the preparations, so it brought my stress level down to nada.  I am the type of person that does great cooking, until the very end that is.  I am nice and relaxed the whole time, then at the end while trying to have everything ready at the same time - boom! Stress.  And a very red face.  And when I sit down to eat you might think I just ran five miles on a treadmill because I look like I have been through a war lol.  Ah...the joys of preparing a big meal :)

The photo below is for my friend Pea, who lives in Canada and had their Thanksgiving last month.  Your slice is on the way Pea! lol

A few more photos from the day:
