So (the American) Thanksgiving came and went. I love this holiday even if I don’t really celebrate it. For one, it’s a chance for a 4-day weekend. For another, we always see family and have an awesome big meal together. I love my in-laws. They are so much fun and I am so glad to have them in my life. This year (as like all years previous, since I’ve met Dave), we celebrated the Canadian Thanksgiving, which is the same except that it is in October instead of November. So our family already celebrated Thanksgiving, but since I work in the states still, I got the benefit of having a 4-day weekend without the stress of cooking and cleaning and stuff. Ha!

Today is Black Friday – I haven’t been out of the house on Black Friday for several years. Why? Because it’s absolutely NUTS out there today!! I read on the news this morning that one lady had a miscarriage AND another lady got TRAMPLED to death in the stores in Long Island. What the heck? You’re so desperate for those sales that you’d actually trample someone to death? How do you miss that, anyway? It’s not like you can just ignore running over someone. You’d have to notice, “Oh gee, while running in this store, I think I must stepped on some lady who was slowly dying.. hmm… what should I do? Should I continue to run for the sales, or stop and help this poor woman?” Apparently, not enough people stopped and helped because she actually died.

That’s too much stress for my soul. I rather stay home. And do online shopping! Online shopping on Black Friday is awesome. Thank heavens for online shopping. You can get anything from Leptovox diet pills to socks for your nephew to a computer for your husband. Woo! The savings are still there, without having to get out of the warm cozy comfort of your own home.
