Kyle and I had a fantastic Thanksgiving and Black Friday. On Thursday, we went to M2 and D's aunt's house in Long Beach. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and 1/2 a pumpkin pie went home with us. I protested at the time but now that I think about it, a piece of pumpkin pie would go down rather smoothly right about now...That night, we went to M2 and D's apartment - also in Long Beach - and played Balderdash and watched Conan O'Brien until the wee hours. We slept on their futon so we could get up bright and early to participate in the madness known as Black Friday, the shoppingest day of the year.
This morning M2 and I went to JC Penny to pick up a special pillow for D, and Nordstrom Rack so I could buy TWO PAIRS OF SHOES for 60 DOLLARS. Then we met up with Kyle and D, who met us elsewhere in Long Beach for lunch (Indian food!) and more shopping at Buffalo Exchange. I could very easily have spent a significant chunk of change there, but I exercised some restraint for once, because I knew we were heading to...IKEA!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to IKEA and bought a BED. With a mattress! And a headboard, and EVERYTHING. And it's getting delivered tomorrow, and Kyle will be off for the day to build it! Isn't it nice when everything comes together to benefit you? Yeah, it is. And it happens so infrequently that this year, it is how I began my "What I am Thankful For" List.
