When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

It was a great thanksgiving! I really thought it would be a hard day, but I managed to get through it without crying more than a couple of small tears. That was pretty great!

We did our traditional Thanksgiving feast (enough food to feed us all for the next 4 days morning, noon, and night) and then sat around passing the Black Friday ads around deciding our game plan. I had a serious surprise when going through my mom's recent papers. She had set aside $1000 for Christmas this year. She never spends much money for Christmas but I think she had an idea how this year was likely to turn out. She left a note for me along with the statement that said to take the money and make it a memorable Christmas...DO NOT PAY BILLS WITH IT! So....I did just that and at Black Friday prices.

I won't give you the blow by blow but I was able to get my hands on one of the LCD TV deals at Target, a Blue Ray player to go with it, a new digital camera (I managed to lose mine during all the craziness at the hospital), movies, video games, HDMI cables, clothes for Marc, and tickets to the Packers vs. Falcons NFL game this Sunday (that was part of Marc's 16th birthday present which was on Black Friday). Mom would be very pleased!

Being up for 30 hours straight cooking and shopping wore me out though and now I have a nasty cold. Lots of good meds are being taken so it's fine. LOL

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving day was fun.
