Happy Black Friday!
I’m not venturing anywhere near a mall today.
I did pass by a shopping center on my run this morning, and the parking lot was already swarming with cars! I’ll probably spend the rest of today inside, cleaning… and maybe starting to transfer Christmas decorations to my new house. My mom said she’ll be happy to give me some of hers; she has so many!
After Thanksgiving dinner, I stayed over at my parents’ house, and this morning I made oatmeal for everyone (mom, dad, and my sister who came in from Boston).
I made everyone a big batch of Strawberry Hugs Oatmeal.
(My sister’s oats were sweetened with brown sugar. She doesn’t appreciate the melted banana trick.)
I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving (or Thursday night). Mine was wonderful, filled with great friends and family… and one very naughty Batman who helped himself to a plate of food someone left on the table. I’ll definitely get photos and recipes up as soon as I get a chance to write the posts. (The pecan pie was a success!!)
Question of the Day:
Are you going shopping today?
Side note: Sorry if you’ve been experiencing slowness or trouble accessing my site. I’m upgrading to a higher level VPS package to handle the traffic, so hopefully it’ll be much faster after that.
I wouldn’t go to a store today if someone was willing to pay me to do it. Dealing with the extreme amount of craziness and huge crowds is my idea of pure torture!
We definitely took advantage of black friday! Tons of fun!
That looks yummy!
I’ll be shopping today but I’m going to be super late for all the sales. I think it beats risking getting trampled by crazed shoppers.
Good luck with the server upgrade. Your site is never slow for me..it’s one of the faster sites I visit which is a bonus!
I wanted to do some online shopping for Black Friday but some sites were sold out of the goodies I wanted at the rock bottom prices. And I would NOT set foot in the stores…so sat this one out.
I’m so glad you had a great Thanksgiving! I can’t wait for your pecan pie recipe!
Those oats look delicious..that was so kind of you to make breakfast for everyone!
Have a great rest of your week! 🙂
No malls for me! To crazy! Haha 🙂
I am definitely not an early morning shopper. I think that the stores advertise sales to get people in even if things aren’t on sale. For example, I went to my favorite store Target this evening (my mom and I tried to miss the rush) and they were advertising my favorite v-necks as on sale when they were the same exact price as normal! So I stay away from Black Friday. 🙂 I can’t wait to see all your Thanksgiving pictures and recipes.
I thought about going shopping, but then I realized that I didn’t want a) a piano to fall on me b) to be assaulted with pepper spray c) get shot at over a baby carriage or d) get run over. Yes, these have all happened on Black Friday.
I bet you’re going to love your Bluehost upgrade, and I hope it goes smoothly! 😉
I actually moved from Bluehost to Servnt when I had to change to a dedicated server. I really, really like them. They are so helpful and patient with me!!
I went Black Friday shopping with my cousin and her friend 🙂
We left at 11:30pm and stayed there until 2:30am! It wasn’t as crowded as I always thought a Black Friday night was. The place looked like it would look in the morning. Only difference was that it was at night! The lines were longer, of course, for Jamba Juice, Forever 21, and the like. I enjoyed it though :] we got back and slept at 4am (they wanted to watch Tangled and I dozed off) then ate breakfast at 1:30pm.
I’m one of those crazy people who did go to the malls yesterday… And now I’m exhausted. Ha, ha.
