Happy Thanksgiving! Frank and I spent Thanksgiving together. Frank deep fried a small turkey and I baked a small turkey as well LOL Both came out REALLY GOOD! We had stuffing, potato salad, Mashed potatoes and candied yams. We were reminiscing of a time 11 years ago when Frank and I got back together. It was the BEST and GREATEST choice I made. I always tell Frank, "I" chose him ;-) All in all we had a wonderful Thanksgiving together. Our fridge is full of leftovers and our bellies are content!
This is the first time in YEARS that I did not wake up early and venture out in the cold to shop for great prices. I originally wanted to hit the stores, but opted not to simply because my shopping is 'almost' done! I have 2 more people to buy for and then that's it :-)
Last night I was online and found a mall up in Manassas and asked Frank if he was up to checking it out today. We got up around 10am and an hour later we hit the road. We were both surprised that there was NO major traffic in the direction we were heading (West=away from the metro area). The other surprise was how many "Hawaiians" lived out here! I saw several vehicles with local stickers, UH of Manoa decals, as well as Aunty's with Hawaiian bracelets LOL Felt awesome :) This mall had JCPenney's, Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's and Sears (as the anchor stores) and of all restaurants, an IHOP as well! If they had a Lane Bryant I'd be freakin happy and beg to move there! How great is that right?! Not only that, they had a Costco up the road, a really nice Dollar Tree in the other direction, a Marshalls across the street and a bunch of other stores as well! We hit ALL the major stores and would you believe, we only spent $100. Seriously. Great deals though :)
Tomorrow our church is "decking the halls!" Which gave me an idea..."WE" need to deck our halls! Normally we decorate the house as soon as we're done shopping, however the past couple years we've decorated on Saturday. I think tomorrow that's what we'll do! Supposed to be a nice sunny day too!
Sunday will be my day of rest. Laundry, cleaning the house and preparing meals for the week!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving/Black Friday holiday :) May you be blessed all season ☺
