Gosh it has been a while

So what the heck should we chat about today? Sometimes I don't know why I blog, it seems like I got to work, come home, have dinner, play on the computer and if I'm in the mood I may create something. I'm a boring homebody.

The holiday's are creeping up on us quite quickly. The last few years we went out to eat, (because the family is so busy with in laws or working) and we gambled a whopping 20 bucks at the casino. This year we have a change of plans and we are going to a friends house for dinner. I'm sure it will be fun and there will only be 5 of us so do you think I can wear my leisure outfit? That's what I planned on staying in all day if I was to be cooking at home LOL. I hope to play some cards....hint hint if you are reading.

Are you going shopping the day after? I of course have to work but then I few times I went in later and stayed late so I could get a few things. It is hard working retail during the holidays when all the sales are out there. And the week after Thanksgiving we have to go to a 5 1/2 work days. UGH I'm not really complaining cause I have always been in retail and I just don't see myself doing any other job.

The weather has been up and down must be that global warming stuff????
Trees are almost bare but the snow can hold off for quite a while, I'm not ready for it.

Since it is Thanksgiving let's say what we are really Thankful for. Me.....I'm Thankful I have a job, I'm healthy, and I have family around me.

I am thankful to have a job too, and one that I love to go to. I say "stay in a leisure suit" all day on Thanksgiving....sounds good to me...as long as it isn't powder blue with pointy lapels....LOL

I generally don't shop the day after Thanksgiving because I worked in retail for five years during college. Kind of turned me off to the whole experience :0)

I might try it again some day!

I'm hoping to go Christmas shopping, the day after Thanksgiving, with my best friend. We'll see. I'd like to make as many homemade gifts as possible, but the kids I can't do that for!

I'm so thankful for my family, my home, and that dh has a good job that enables me to stay at home with our little shorties!

I bow down to all those who work in retail, especially at this time of year, it must be crazy. I usually avoid "the day after" shopping, but last year (just for fun!!) we went to town. We were not brave enough to hit the mall, nor did we get up at pre-dawn. I'm not that desperate for a bargain, but then relatively speaking I don't have too many to buy for anymore, I guess it is worth it for many.

We usually have a low profile Thanksgiving too but we like it that way. Makes a more relaxing entry into the busy season. I gotta tell you I don't miss being in retail, especially this time of year. Good luck with your stores and hope they have a successful selling season.
