Thanks for the coffee,
L.C.!
Schatzi, This is the first year that I'm not going shopping, and I kind of miss it. My SIL and I always had our strategy all mapped out, sale flyers in hand, early in the morning, and we never ever ran into crowds or traffic jams and were usually back home by 10 am at the latest. It was fun! I think the people who wait until later in the day to venture out are the ones that have a miserable experience. Have fun shopping for your new office furniture and fridge!
Cat, to me, the best part of the holiday are the leftovers the next day. I made 2 turkeys and a turkey breast yesterday just for that reason. I expect the kids to show up for supper today, too, even though they all were sent home with care packages.
I didn't do too badly yesterday. I skipped the stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy, just because I don't care for them. But I had a small helping of everything else, including a slice of pumpkin pie and a small piece of pumpkin struesel cake. And I enjoyed it and am not going to stress about it. I'm right back on plan today, and that's what matters the most.
So now to decide what to do today. I don't have any plans whatsoever, and now I'm feeling antsy!
