So I made all of Thanksgiving all by my little ol self. All pies were from scratch with the exception of the crust for the banana cream pie, I also made some gravy whichsnt sound like a big deal but trust me it is i tend to struggle with what seem like the simplest of dishes i.e. rice, beans, gravy etc. And this year we had something new glazed carrots they were so darn good. I also made a gallon of turkey stock, 12 cups of pureed pumpkin and 12 cups of shredded pumpkin to use in breads, cakes, and pies kinda proud of myself for doing it but now i want to do more but i have no freezer space so im gonna have to look for a cheap chest freezer and figure out how to hook it up outside on the porch.
We didn't go out shopping for black Friday its not like it used to be where people would show up at midnight now they show up a week before hand so they can save a few hundred bucks and im sorry but my time and comfort is worth more to me than that not to mention if you have a job you are either taking unpaid time off which means you are spending alot more money on that tv or paid vacation time which again is dumb what kind of vacation is sitting in the freezing cold in a parking lot. SO we stayed in and the only time i went out was to sign up at the gym it has been so long since I've gone and i figured they must be having some kind of special and i was right. And today was my 1st time in at least 6 months going to workout and man it was tough I lost a lot more upper body strength than i thought (booo) and I somehow hurt my left hand it hurts to close it so I have it wrapped up right now but i will be going back tomorrow and make an effort to go daily most likely as i get back into town after school since its right by the freeway i want to start feeling good about my body again.
Im also kinda excited as we are going to be putting up our Christmas lights on the house its only the 2nd time in my life to have lights up the 1st time was 2 years ago. I love the way they look in the fog.
