Breakfast in this house was just tea and toast today. However, our
Kidlette requested (homemade) meat sauce and (store bought - sosueme)
spaghetti for dinner so that's what we're having tonight.

later, I made the sorry mistake of joining my nephew and his wife to
Black Friday shopping beginning at 5am this morning. I'm usually up
before that so I didn't see an issue. I'd seen the chaos on TV but wanted
to see it up close with my own eyes. Aunt and uncle and niece stayed
behind to look after the youngsters.
They dragged me off the basement couch at 4:30 in the morning. I was not
pleased.
On the way, we stopped at Dunkin' Donuts. I had an Apple cheese danish
and a tall cup of high octane coffee. I thought that might beat the
morning exhaustion.
Standing in lines in the wind and cold and rain AND at the registers,
that idea quickly failed.
Standing on my tired feet for hours I just about fainted a few times.
I refused to set foot in Wal*Mart so I sat in the car as they shopped
there. I needed the rest!!!
By the time we got back to nephew's house at about 11am, I went back to
the couch and fell asleep. Woke up 3pm and came upstairs and they were
all watching college football and drinking beer and nibbling leftovers.
Hugged and kissed them all goodbye and got home at 5:30pm.
Feet feel like I'm walking on blisters.
Tomorrow's another day.

Macy's, hopefully to put an old allergy concern to rest.
I gave Macy's first crack at the sale for hosting such a great
Thanksgiving Day Parade. I attended one about 10 years back.
They don't deep discount like some others.
After tax, it was a 33.5% discount.
A nice service was that while standing in the checkout line, a dept.
manager (?) would scan your items with a hand-held unit and it would
print out a receipt so you just presented the cashier with the receipt
that they could scan one barcode and not all your items to speed of the
entire process.
Then noticing the too long and friendly conversations between the
cashiers and customers and not making mention of it, he stepped up to
another register and asked, "can I help the next person?" ME!
A great help.

Yesterday (Saturday), Macys further reduced already discounted items an
additional 10-15%.
Tomorrow's another day is true. The ads and talking heads claimed Black
Friday's the deepest discount day. The BUMS!!!
I'll never Black Friday shop again, at any time of day!
What's left on my list? A few modern smoke and CO2 detectors to replace
the untrustable 15-yo tobacco clogged ones that have begun to false alarm
"chirp" on fresh batteries!
OB Food: Applesauce and Honey Graham crackers.

Every day is Black Friday for retailers and deep discounts will last
until after New Year's. There's no point getting crushed in the
crowds when you know a large part of what was bought during the Friday
grab-a-thon will be returned over the weekend and on a deeper discount
Monday morning.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Sounds like you need a hard wired system.

I did Black Friday on Amazon.com... got lovey stuffed animals and
dollies and computer games for the kidlets (can't go wrong with
anything Spongebob Squarepants). Got me a stick-on window thermometer
for my tractor and one of those foot callous rasps so I won't have to
borrow my garlic rasp anymore. hehe. And got some fabulous yarns for
a good friend with golden hands who knows to *really* knit.

Looks nice and warm, but I bet you don't have the waist-length
dreadlocks it calls for.

sheep yesterday as we drove up to Summit County to our new
grandson's christening ceremony and party.
