Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know I've been really bad about updating, but since I've made it your weekend homework to check my blog, I thought I would step into November already!

I don't know about you, but having today off (Tuesday) felt like a Saturday for me. I've had a busy couple of days running around getting all of my delayed errands run. I'm doing some remodeling and have become friends with the folks over at Lowe's. Honestly, I'm there constantly these days and really can't wait to NOT be there! I always buy the wrong things, so there's a lot of back-and-forth for me. Hopefully it will all be worth it!

So what's everyone doing for Turkey (or maybe Pig) Day? I'm trying to decide if I'm running in the Turkey Dash in Avon. It's a 5K, which I've done several times before. However, my last one was in September, so I'm a little out of practice. I go to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving every year. There are going to be about 20 of us this year, so it'll be cozy! They live on a farm out in Thompson. Her home looks like something you would see on a Hallmark card....it's picture perfect! I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful family.

I'm also trying to decide if I'm going to battle "Black Friday." I'm willing to go, but I don't think I'd ever get up at 3:00 AM to shop. Did you know many stores are opening at midnight? I feel so bad for the people that have to work through the night! And the thing is....the stores will be crowded! In addition to maybe shopping, I always put my Christmas things up this weekend. It's quite the ordeal, but worth it. It looks so cozy when I'm finished!

Well, I'm hitting the hay early tonight. I wish all of you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving. Remember to give thanks for all of your blessings! See you Monday!
