In German we have a saying: Unkraut vergeht nicht.
Translated it means: Pest plants never die ........:(

YOU feel guilty? I finally bought Christmas cards yesterday. I hope to get them addressed over the long Thanksgiving weekend so they can go out on Monday.

Did I mention this is the first time I'm sending out Christmas cards in, well... Ever? :D
Well done. Hopefully we started a trend.

I seem to have a bad case of the lazies today. I've got a nice fire going in the wood stove, I'm dressed and combed, but here I sit.

So far this year the weather hasn't been very cold. Most nights have only dipped down into the 40'sF. That's working outside weather. . . and believe me, there's plenty of work to do out there.

A few weeks ago I changed my errand running day from Fridays to Thursdays. So I'm wondering if the stores I go to will be open this Thursday. For those of you "across the pond," this Thursday is the day us USAians commemorate a harvest festival put on by the Pilgrims in 1621. I don't have a "harvest" to celebrate, but I sure do love me a turkey dinner (the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal). I love it so much in fact that once the turkey is bought and put in my refrigerator, as soon as it is thawed, it is cooked. So I ate my Thanksgiving Day meal two days ago.

Speaking of Thanksgiving Day, traditionally the day AFTER Thanksgiving is deemed Black Friday. I don't know where the term 'black friday' came from, but it refers to the day after Thanksgiving, regarded as the first day of the traditional Christmas shopping season, on which retailers offer special reduced prices. For a couple years now, merchants have gotten creative and have started their Black Friday deals a week or so ahead of time. Since I don't do crowds, I don't take advantage of Black Friday. And believe me, it IS crowded!

I guess I've dilly dallied long enough. Time to go.
They have started the Black Friday thing here now too. First time was last year. And they are having one this Friday as well.
