Black Friday Madness
My Thanksgiving was very good. I helped my mom make some of the food. I made this great
Sweet Potato Casserole, a salad and the mashed potatoes. The casserole turned out soooo good, it was my first time making it. My aunt Margaret came over and brought us some Panettone (yummy Italian fruit cake) which was also delicious. I ate wayyy too much yesterday, it was all so good.
My sister, Mom and I woke up at 5am and went to brave the busy stores this morning.
We started out at Bi-Mart in search of a Kitchen Aid mixer for mom, but it was still a little too spendy for my sister and I. Then we went to Shopko. I swear, everyone and their grandma was there, it was crazy! We didn't feel like standing in line for an hour and so we promptly left.
Then we went to the mall. I ended up getting a scarf, gloves, hat set for my sister, a sweatshirt for my dad, and I got a new bra, a cute long sleeved thermal (with thumbholes!), and a much needed pair of running shoes for myself. My paycheck was huge, and it's hard not to just buy a buncha shit that I've been needing forever, but always been too broke to buy (OMG shoes). But I know I have to keep my goals in check, and buy other people presents before myself. We were shopping for a good four hours and all came home with something we were happy with.
When we got home, I finally cleaned my room and did my laundry. Now I'm just relaxing and sporadically watching the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives marathon. It's been a good day. :)
