COLD DARK ROOM

Is that what you are having?
Ok, I give you a hint. I just ate it last week.

Nope. I had mac and cheese. And if you ate it last week how can you have it tonight. And if it came back this week I would certainly not be eating it again. ... Just saying.

Ok, now I really know you are funny!! I laughed so hard, my husband asked me what was wrong.
But you are right, I should not be eating what I already ate. Why did I not think of that?!

It was pancakes. Those delicious wheat free pancakes with old cheese and syrup. I missed pancakes.

I can't have mac and cheese anymore either. So much I can't eat anymore. *sad*

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.

Hope your turkey dinner was lovely!

I think I know why it’s called Black Friday.

First of all, and I’m speaking from experience as an international student back in 2006, you have to get up very early if you’re to get any deals at all. In fact it was so early when we got up, it was pitch black outside. I’m sure all others do that too, because when we got to the mall of our choice, and the sky was still pitch black (it was a cloudy night), a long line had already formed.

And the second reason are all the black eyes people give each other when fighting over that last item in stock. A very aptly named day! Seen it all.

I think I want to get to a 1000 posts this week. Shall I make it? Probably not, but One can try. Only 55 to go...

Easy peasy. Stay in the CDR for a couple of hours.

I'm holding out for the Christmas stamps!

Are you waiting for Black Friday? Does Royal Mail even do Black Friday??

Oh yes. I forgot about that. Now I want pancakes with blueberry filling again.

So sorry. It must be very difficult.

Yayyyy. 40 is nothing.

I don't do black Friday here either. It has made its way over the Atlantic despite us not doing Thanksgiving.

It is cold and grey and dull and damp here and that weather doesn't make you want to do anything.

I am glad you have the stove fired up now. Stay warm!

I’m doing the Black-and-Green Friday this year! First I’ll go buy some gifts for husband’s niece and nephew. Then I’ll go trade my junk for somebody else’s and lament the spread of consumerism. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji56]

That's easy in the CDR? We spend far too much time chatting

SNAP’ish [emoji23][emoji23]

Although the story that I read said that she fed him to workers.

Were they doing some renovations in her house? And they had been hired by the man, who promised they’d be finished in no time?In that case, one could sympathize...

Yip. That is why I don't participate.

Oohhh Wine shopping. Just don't do any whining afterwards please.

Those two don’t go together! Provided the shop is stocked well [emoji23]
