This Thanksgiving seemed kind of sad and lonely to me. When we moved to Colorado one of the things I was looking forward to was finally getting to spend the holidays with family. We had it all planned out, everyone would come over to my house, and all the kids would play and the adults would visit and play games just like in the old days(when we lived there 10 years ago) So this years thanksgiving just seemed so boring, and I really didn't have the desire to go all out and fix an over the top meal. I kept it very basic, and we really just sat around and did nothing, as I shed a few tears of sadness. LOL
Well with Thanksgiving behind me, I awoke early this morning, but not to early (I need my beauty sleep. he he he) to hit the stores for all the good sales. The first store I went to, the parking lot was so terribly crowded I didn't even attempt to enter the store. The second store was so crowded and the lines were so long I figured it was not worth wading through all those people and waiting in line for hours just to purchase a couple items, so I headed to the mall. The mall on the other hand was not to bad in comparison to the first two stores. As the day went on the crowds seemed to lessen. By the end of the day I had made some great purchases and now I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done. *Yeah* Only 32 day until Christmas! Christmas is bound to be more fun than Thanksgiving was right?....How could it not be with presents involved? :)

I am sorry to hear that you shed some tears on Thanksgiving. That makes me so sad. The holidays are tough. So many people love them and celebrate them, but they say an equal amount dread them. I have been on both sides of that coin before. Christmas is bound to be MUCH better!!
I have the worst bout of flu I have had this year. I guess that flu bug my boys battled finally caught up to me. I kept thinking I was licking it, but today I felt worse than any other day. Maybe tomorrow I will feel more like myself again. Anyway, I want to get together with you, so call me sometime.
I'm sorry Thanksgiving was a little sad for you also :( Family makes the holidays special. I hope Christmas is a little better. The day after Thanksgiving sales are CRAZY! I hate having to SQUEEZE through people, it really makes you wonder why we do this, but we all do keep on going every year, hehe.
I'm sorry Thanksgiving was such a let down for you. I am glad that you got to get some good shopping done. There are some that say shopping is a great healer!!!
AHHH we missed you guys to, maybe next year we'll come to your house. I have my ham perfected with lots of sugary glaze yummy. And as I understand it my glaze is fat free, no matter how much brown sugar is in it, so it's good for you ha ha.
