Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Busy day-but most of work done yesterday with prepping so not hard. With 9 people we got through 1/2 of a 15# turkey-plenty of leftovers and college kid will get stuff to take back. Snacked all day until dinner feast-cheese board, veggies, hummus, cookies, fruit to get get us by. Popped the champagne and had tropical mimosas all day-made the work seem easy. Then our traditional board games/card games after dinner. Let the 16 year old have a mimosa and oh my, was it funny, she got very giggly. Boy wasn't feeling great all day, had to give him pepto a couple times. Did eat some dinner, now tucked into bed after I sat with him (he doesn't usually require mom at bedtime anymore). Hoping he's feeling better tomorrow. Not sure if we are going to get up to shop or not...
And talked to my mom and plans changed again-they are flying home from Arizona for Christmas, so now will do Christmas with them (we usually don't get to see them anymore since they became snow birds fleeing cold weather). Hopefully sisters and niece will be able to come as well. We will do Christmas early with FiL (and be able to go out with Sil for her bday), then drive to Jacksonville on 24th to spend Christmas with Dh oldest. then to Universal for couple days, home by New years. That is the plan for now and will book hotels tomorrow...Also decided the youngest 2 need to come with as they would otherwise be glued to screen or games all break.
We did NYE in Epcot to start the year (Dec 30 at MK). Glad we got to experience it and had a lot of fun.
Wow-that is so Awesome!!!! Hope her Black friday working experience isn't too bad. Except for one year, I had great managers that made working on these crazy days fun!
Me too=although I don't stray far from normal-craziest I have gone is this last time when I went less blond and more caramel color low lights to get it closer to natural color. And I am way too chicken to chop it off-I like being able to do ponytail.
Congratulations to B!!!
Hope you had a fabulous trip! Doing a trip report?? And where in Wisconsin? Lots of family near Marshfield/Greenwood area in central WI
Glad to hear you are doing better!! and yes take it easy!
Going to see it tomorrow afternoon. Had to watch the first one tonight (which I missed most of due to boy not feeling well-but it was more for inlaws who hadn't seen it).
And I am impressed by anyone who has shopping done already. This year especially will be about giving experiences vs stuff. Although I will still get my mom her Amazon GC as she is a voracious reader on her kindle!
The minion and turkey made me giggle Keisha!
Schumi sounds like a fab day of good food and company!
Think it is time for PJ and bed...
Hmm, Indian food, not my favorite, but bet was lush Schumi. House sounds lovely too, enjoy seeing sparkles everywhere for the holiday season.
Visited DM, then a wee bit of grocery shopping. Seeing lots of tree lots, with one having trees already, and at least a few cars with trees on their roofs. Hate to see that tree 4 weeks from now. Why buy cut tree and greens decor now as it seems way crazy as with a warm house, that stuff dries out fast. I do like the smell of cut greens though. When we bought fresh, it was cut down 2 days before Christmas, or bought right around then. We liked keeping it up after Christmas, not much before. Now, the pre lighted ones are cheap enough, we use them, then give away and buy new every couple of years.
Christmas music everywhere.
So happy it is a Saturday and not a Sunday. Another day to relax. Rain is coming soon, was a cool and very gray morning. Started below freezing, but the rain is bringing some warmth, so 40’s and periods of heavy downpours from a little later today, until the wee hours of tomorrow. Then a more seasonal 50’s Sunday. Winter is surely coming. Time for tea. Maybe my own made chicken parm, and green beans, with whatever pasta I have. Easy dinner, as cool rain is not my idea of fun to go out for dinner. Think older one is going out with his friends tonight. Most are still home from college, so I guess a last get together before the winter break.
Hope you got home safely Charade.
And a big Wahoo to Schumi’s countdown. Coming soon.
Lastly, well wishes to Mac. I hope your BPgets normal, and you are feeling better.
Keisha, stay dry, and hope your holiday weekend has been good.
Time for tea, still cool and ahh, time to relax. Later homies, have a super Saturday.
We're just outside of Green Bay. Rainy gray day today. At least it's not snowing.
No trip report but I did a just back post.
Schumi, I love Indian food.
I hope everyone else is having a good day
Hope the food is good.....
I don’t think I’ve seen that one either. My favorite version is the Muppet one.So watching the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol.....
I have only had one real tree in my life. We got a nice pre-lit a few years ago. I guess it’s time to get it out and start decorating.Visited DM, then a wee bit of grocery shopping.

Whenever I hear Green Bay, I hear the word Packers at the end...
Are you near Manitowoc? I almost moved there for work 17 years ago before my husband got smart & proposed to me, keeping me with him in FL.As you should.
Actually I'm impressed. I can't name any cricket teams. Although I guess I know the names of some of the UK soccer teams.
I love the character of Jack Sparrow. There's really nothing like him. He's fantasticly fun to watch.
@Charade67 those are some gorgeous pictures. Sorry it was too cold for rides. Glad you had fun anyway.

Thanks. I didn't mind not riding the rides. I don't ride coasters anyway. We were going to do an indoor ride, but the wait time was an hour.@Charade67 those are some gorgeous pictures. Sorry it was too cold for rides. Glad you had fun anyway.
I'm impressed that you know the Packers. I couldn't name a single UK team in any sport. My husband has football on all the time. There was a game the other night that went into 7 overtime periods. I fell asleep before it was over.lol......I couldn't name a cricket team either!!! Never watch it, actually not interested in football either in this house.....although DS quite like football. But most sports bore us to tears.....except motor racing in most forms...…..![]()
I completely agree with you here. I dreamed last night that was had an unexpected snow storm. No, no, no!It's been a very rainy month. Seems to be a trend for the fall, I am hoping that does not mean routine snow. Stay away, stay away.
Congrats to Liv on surviving her first Black Friday weekend. I hated working Black Friday when I was in retail. Nice that Target fed their employees. I didn't get that when I worked for JC Penney.Liv survived her Black Friday weekend. However, by last night she was done. It was nice though Target provided meals for them Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There was some really good restaurant take out food. I thought that was great. When I worked in retail years ago we didn't have that.
