BLACK FRIDAY, still Full!

LESSONS LEARNED

Thanksgiving

is

or can be

a very dangerous holiday!

Lesson 1

When putting the above instruments

in the mixer:

DO NOT HOLD THE MIXER UPSIDE DOWN

WHEN INSERTING SAID TOOLS

><

As you hand could easily hit the button

ON

resulting in

Mixing your fingers together in the

process!!!

>Causing one of the people in the house

to fall in the floor hysterically laughing

while

the other person fills the air

with @#%$#

and

well... It can really really hurt

but

after the pain

it was really really pretty funny

and

well

I need not say more!

LESSON 2

THIS IS A GREAT BEGINNING TO THANKSGIVING

JUST ADD

COFFEE/MILK

and

gracious

Gratitude

but

It can and will often alter the amount of

THANKSGIVING MEAL

one is able to enjoy fully later in the day!

LESSON 3

YOUR EYES

ARE

ALWAYS BIGGER

THAN

YOUR BELLY

especially if you do NOT pay attention to

Lesson 2

LESSON 4

WE'RE NOW INTO

BLACK FRIDAY

So you better have on your

best shoes

if you HAVEN'T LEFT ALREADY

AND

it's too late to remind you!

I have read that this is the worst economy to date

however

it is expected to be

a very very successful

day of

BLACK FRIDAY

with sales.

Now I don't really get that

but

I figure

they know what they are talking about

and

they do advise you to take

"water, sandwiches and make a plan"

before heading out!

OH lawd,

sounds like folks are going

camping!

But,

I am not participating

instead

I am rather grieving the loss of the idea

of when it was

"easy" and great "fun"

to shop for the kids

when they were little and were

"excited"

and

when you could just create a "buzz"

and

they were

soooooo thrilled by it all!

And the joys of finding

"treasures"

and

wrapping the beautiful paper

and

then putting it under the tree

with such excitement.

BUT

they are growing now,

no one has indicated what they truley want

for

Christmas

although I am told

they they would like "gift cards"?

Where is the

FUN FOR ME IN THAT?

really?

A gift card?

><

Bah Humbug.

I'm thankful

I'm blessed

and

up in Maryland

when I asked Olivia what she wanted for Christmas,

her standard reply is

"Nana, I don't need anything, and I don't know"!

go figure!

So there you go

I am spared the shopping

of

2011

YIPPEE

how sad is that

But

if you are one of those who went to bed early

you have already been out there all night

and

are now in bed

so

it's too late anyway!

I hope you had a marvelous day

of

Thanksgiving

and

enjoyed each moment

I sure do hope you made magic

along the day

in ways that will hold you UP

in ways of remembering

in the days ahead.

Here

we enjoyed the day

spoke with loved ones

and

laughed over the mixer

watched those commercials

and

a bit of football

between the naps

and the joys

of all that is to be embraced

and

gave thanks for all.

The 4 leggeds were on "high alert"

knowing that they were counted among the many blessings

and

there prayers were answered

as

"turkey" magically appeared

in front of them

so

all was good!

Funny,

no one seems to advertise

Refridgerators on

those

Black Friday sales?

I've decided that it is probably a result

of no one

wanting to

even think

of

having to

"unload their very own fridg"

in order to bring in a new one

even if a sale could be found

the days after

Thanksgiving!

Wishing you a lovely weekend

and

hoping that

you hold tightly to

the

spirit

of

Thanksgiving

as

we now feel

transported quickly into

this

holiday

season.
