Well.. Thanksgiving now seems like a blur. It was only a week ago but seems so far way already! Daniel and I made our annual trip to Fayetteville to visit Dad and Jean and the puppy dogs. We ended up getting a late start because Daniel had to stay late at work. I guess it all worked out. I was able to get some chores done while waiting on him. We hopped into the car and I snoozed the last half of the way to the house. I had been up in the air if I wanted to go out to the stores at midnight like I had done the past two years but after weighing the options, I chose just to get up early and go at 8am.
So, after unwinding for a bit we all went to bed and I was up bright and early to hit CVS. I got there a bit early but made a game plan. I was in and out in no time from the store along with other shoppers. I got everything I wanted which was so nice. I then went to go to some other stores but they were not going to be open til 9 so I went back to the house for a Thanksgiving day run. My plan was to go between 6 and 10 miles.... The rain stopped me at mile 5.
O well. That was fine. I took what I could get. I decided to get ready for the day and went back out to the stores since it was after 9am.
By the time I got back to the house from the stores, it was time for lunch. Jean's family came as they always do (ever since I have been going) and we had such good food. I was beside myself with this sweet potato dish. I still cant believe how good it was. I am going to make it myself tomorrow and can't wait!! We all stuffed ourselves as usual and then just chatted and looked at the sales ads for a while.
Unfortunatly our stay was short lived and we had to get back because Daniel had to work the following day and I had shopping to get done.
520am came way too early on friday but I was ready to get some shopping done. My first stop was to Target... this is how my day went... target, michaels, bed bath and beyond, another target, riteaid, old navy, halmark, macys, dsw, ice cream, alex's house, honey baked ham, toyota dealership, home, back out to best buys, then to walmart, another target, shoe shopping, pet smart, then i met val at target AGAIN to give her some items.
I must say that NO I did not go and spend money in all of these places. I had free coupons, gift cards, and half the Targets I had to return or just go see if they something there for Daniel (they didnt)
I will say that it was the best black friday I had ever had. I just had the best time shopping by myself and doing whatever I wanted to do. I also ended up being so lucky with the traffic, nice cashiers, etc.
AND When I met up with Alex, we had free ice cream and then a free cookie at lunch!
