"Gobble" is a funny word. I am not quite sure what about it I specifically find peculiar, but there's something...
Another Thanksgiving has passed and as we still enjoy the leftover green bean casserole (my favorite!) and desserts, we so bask in the warmth of love in the room.
Something happens to me when there's so many of my step family in the room. Much like the oddity of "gobble", I cannot put my finger on what it is; all I know is that I draw somewhat inwards. It keeps me at a distance.
Maybe that's what I want.
Maybe I just don't know.
Whether extrovert or introvert, it was a delightful time of togetherness.
One of my favorite Thanksgiving regularities? Charlie Brown! That blockhead has a special place in my heart.
Sissy and I ventured out on our first Black Friday experience. Whoo and was it that: an experience! It was crazy for sure; Wal-Mart was borderline obscene. The surprising thing was that the madness which drove people to forget themselves was not over major electronics, it was toys. When the Tonka trucks were "released", it was chaos! There was hootin' and hollerin', people were shoved, pushed, and just plain man-handled.
While talking with some of the others in line at the camera counter (of which my waiting was in vain. I discovered the same camera for which I stool in line for the same price...online.) we were told that a woman had been bitten over a toy.
Seriously?! You are a small child.
How is your first reaction, or even any reaction at all to bite someone?!
Go home and get in your crate.
Absurd.
However, the upside is that Sissy got a great deal and Target was a much better adventure. Although just as packed, it was much more organized and monitored which kept the violence to a minimum.
Pleasingly executed, Target. Well done.
Over the next few days as I rest up, I'm fixing to: get lesson plans done, tattoo in memory of Granny (6 months on Sunday), and set up a New York trip.
Of course spending as much time at the gym and Starbucks as possible.
Let's hope all goes well.
