Happy Thanksgiving!

Yep, a day late and now a dollar shorter. :)

As I sit here the evening of Black Friday, I give thanks for leftovers.  How else could I gross my kids out with my "turkey bowl extravaganza"?  Mm... Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, fruit and nut dressing, broccoli, cranberry sauce all in a convenient bowl.  I have to admit that going a little more primal for the dinner has been a great thing.  Very little bread and flour to assault the tummy and create a miserable bloated feeling.  The carbo-licious potatoes and sugar laden cranberry sauce weren't at all primal but they sure were tasty!

Black Friday shopping has left me with regret.  I keep thinking I should have gone to two more stores, but 5 hours and only 3 stores in I realized I probably really didn't need to go.  Nope, I didn't need to, but I sure regret not going.  Those last two stops would be primarily to purchase stuff for me.  I have a hard time allowing myself to shop for myself on days or trips dedicated to Christmas or other gift giving days.  I wish my guilt conscious would give me a break now and then, its costing me money.

But as it is, my list is well under way for a Merry Christmas, and for that, I am thankful.
