I hope everyone made it through thanksgiving ok and has some great feasts!
We ended up at a friend's house for dinner last night.
It's a super busy today between meetings and a work lunch.
Then tonight I'm meeting up with a few friends for a Christmas market. Then tomorrow we fly out for a girl's weekend in Switzerland for one of their Christmas markets! Super excited
We are going to buy new appliances for our condo we are hoping to have some time away from the family today and do a date night. after yesterday we are a little over family time at this point. Hopefully my parents will go do something on their own vs just sitting in our condo watching tv...

We are doing no shopping today.
I did buy almost all of Tman's Christmas stuff on Amazon last night, though. He's getting: a small Hobbit lego set that he's been wanting FOREVER because it comes with the ring, a minecraft Enderman plush, a nerf gun that he's been eyeing, two games for his new Wii U (sidebar: this is his prize from the cub scout popcorn sales and some of the other kids have received their prizes already, so it looks like he should be getting his before Christmas afterall - hooray!), and two items that I chose that weren't on his list: a kid's microscope and a stethescope. Tman has a big interest in science and will sometimes say that he wants to be some kind of scientist, so I think this will be awesome. The only other thing I have to add is a boxed set of the Hardy Boys books that Tman freaked out about at Costco. Books = sold! I love that he loves to read.
I really don't know what we are going to do for the rest of the weekend. Lots of hanging out at home, I guess.

Happy Friday! Since Thanksgiving is over now, I won't give anyone the side-eye anymore if they start talking about Christmas So Happy X-mas Season to you all!
I had a great time with my family yesterday, and it was an AWESOME Seahawks win to watch. Today we want to watch a movie, but not sure which one yet.
We are doing nothing today. All three of us already ate pumpkin pie for breakfast and we are watching movies all day.
Medical people: I'm on day three of a 5 day antibiotic for my strep and even though my fever has gone away, my throat is still really sore. How long does it take to go away? Thanksgiving dinner was painful!

We're still undecided how today will play out. We might walk to the crappier grocery store just to stay off the roads and away from shopping areas. There is currently a big Ferguson protest going on down the street and the helicopters are annoying me. Might wait to see if that mess clears out too.

I'm at work. It's slow though so we're having fun. Bought the team Jimmy John's for lunch. I got some online shopping done. I'm hoping the afternoon doesn't drag.
I went out at 5:30 this morning with my dad to do our little bit of black friday shopping. I think this was the first year I was somewhat disappointed with my outcome of stuff. I got some stuff but the things I was hoping to find at my go-to stores were a dud. I got home early and we ended up going to cut down our tree, making it back to the truck right before the down pour came. Now our tree is in the garage drying off and I am finishing up some online shopping.
Later I might set up the girls little tree in M's room so we can decorate it.
Last night I scored at ON and B&BW. everything was half off at ON so I got two super warm jackets for 2 kids on the work giving tree. I also stocked up on soaps and yummy smelling candles.
Today we headed out about 7 for breakfast. Went to Lowes and got a tree, another sweet deal. Then headed to sears to chat with them about my treadmill. Turns out we have a defect in the frame so they are coming to swap on Monday.
