thankful...

ahh, thankful that the big warm-up meal to the big holiday season that was hosted at my house this year....is over. so much work, so many calories.  It seems sad that Thanksgiving has turned into just a meal in preperation for this Black Friday craziness.  I'm thinking that next year some retailers may just start offering a  to-go turkey/stuffing/cranberry sauce dinner at the check-out line to make sure you spend your shopping dollars there.  It really has gotten out of hand.  oh well.  I slept in and then started on third but not final dishwasher load to celebrate the holiday weekend.  yup, Scrooge will be arriving by helicopter very soon.  right on schedule.
