I trust everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Mine was one of the better ones I've had in awhile :-D
Wednesday evening kicked the festivities off when I met some friends for $3 pitchers at the Mexican restaurant and plenty of laughs. And, it was an early night as I was home by 9:30 or so. That's always good. Of course, I stayed up milling around the house til 2:00 or so because for some reason I couldn't sleep. That never happens.
Thursday, I woke up around 7ish and decided that I HAD to clean up because my friends were coming for the holiday. I washed clothes, did dishes, vacuumed, etc. etc....watched a good bit of the Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv....oof. I don't know why I couldn't seem to quit watching it as it was pretty annoying, but anyway there I sat. Around 11:30, the pregame show for the NFL games came on, and in the spirit of the season, the first beer o' the day was cracked open. Game on. Around 1:30 or so, my friends showed up and THEY BROUGHT PRESENTS. That's always a good sign. They weren't holiday presents, but rather housewarming presents. New fluffy towels and pj pants....my 2 favourite things. We had a few beers and headed off to another friend's house for dinner and entertainment. The food was great as was the company. We headed home around 11 or so and stayed up til 4...the scheduled departure time for Hell-Mart.
Perhaps it was the fact that I was at the store around 4:15 or it was the fact that I'd been up all night drinking and laughing, or a combination of the two, but it was an easy and successful trip. I stood in line for the tv (I was third) and got a little christmas tree and a stocking for the fireplace and bolted for the door. I feel sorry for the 20 or so people in line for the tvs, though, because they only had 5. You wanna talk about a riot? Imagine me being #6. Luckily for all of us, I got mine and was out the door and home on the couch by 5:15. That might be a record even for a normal trip.
Friday consisted of football and a fire and not much else.
Saturday consisted of football and a fire and beers...and not much else.
Sunday consisted of football and a fire and beers...and not much else.
And now? Well, it's Monday and I'm totally excited to be back at work :-/. And already counting on next weekend....and no more shopping.

Glad that the big Black Friday trip to Wal-Mart wasn't as painful as you were expecting. Although I don't know if you had enough beer over the weekend to get over the trauma. =+)

Dude, you know how I know you're gay?
I hope that tv was ridiculously cheap!
But football, fire, and beer are 3 of my favorite things so that sounds like an awesome weekend!
Well, I suppose if you must shop at Wal-Mart on the day after T-giving, the best way to do so is drunk. Smartypants.
I too am a big fan of fire.
