Thanks
Thanksgiving was nice this year, it was also my birthday and I endured the Happy Birthday song and my mother couldn't leave out the "How old are you now..." part, but it was cute. I tried to not pay too much attention as I was doing the dishes at the time!
Dinner was great as usual. Mom insists on cooking dinner every year so we always go to her house. This year I was off and usually I work so that was nice for a change. Then...Dev had the "great" idea of driving to Burlington that morning at 4am to hit the sales on Black Friday. I've never done that, but a few people I work with have done it and "love" doing it every year. So, since I was working the graveyard shift that Friday I thought, "What the heck, I'll go." Turns out I didn't get up at 4, but rather 4:30 am when Dev woke me up. We were on the snowy roads by 5 am and made it to the Big B by 7:30, I drove kind of slow because I didn't trust the roads or my new little car, but I was pleasantly surprised with my little car!!
Things weren't too bad until we hit the mall, man oh man! I did get a couple of things for a very good price, but that was about it. It was fun, but not sure I'd do it again!
Then, I awoke the other morning having dreamt of people, cousins, I hadn't seen or heard from in years and I mean like 20! My dream was so vivid and surreal that I awoke, made me a pot of coffee and looked one of their numbers up in the phone book and called him and we talked for nearly a half hour and caught up on sooo much! It was like 20 years hadn't passed! Strange, but nice and now we plan to get together and meet each other's children and reminisce some more! He only lives a couple of hours away, but we have just never kept in touch.
Now it's off to work, it snowed a little last night, but not enough to really say so. I really would like a nice big storm to come for the holidays, we'll see what happens...
