Well, last night was an extremely low-key Thanksgiving. I guess I should just accept the idea that if I'm ever to have what I perceive to be a "normal" Thanksgiving, it needs to be when I am older and have my own family and can coerce my brothers into spending the holiday all together... or just hope my husband's family goes all out and has lavish, oversized feasts.

Not sure why it's all so important anyway - we're basically celebrating the European terrorism of Native Americans.

Anyway in case anyone was concerned about my digestive status, my stomach cleared up Tuesday night, and I was good to go for all the turkey and trimmings last night. I also made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins that are quite delicious.

I was going to get up at 6:00am and try to beat the Black Friday rush, but I went to bed at around 3:30, and when my alarm went off at 6:00, I thought, I am way too exhausted, and what do I really need to buy anyway? So I turned off my alarm and slept until 10:00, which incidentally is probably the latest I've slept in weeks. Maybe more than a month.

But I would like to get out of the house for a little while, especially because the rain has stopped and it's sunny out, so I'm taking Sonja to buy some shoes, and then dropping her off at the train station. Maybe I'll pick something up for myself along the way ;)
