Hide from Crazy Shoppers Day

Happy “Hide from Crazy Shoppers” Day! As everyone knows, the day after Thanksgiving is when the “Chrismas season” gets into full swing. Stores offer crazy sales and people line up at 5am to ensure whatever they’re buying will be there. For me, it is the beginning of a month of avoiding the mall areas, since that’s where traffic is the worst.

This is also the day where the rest of us clean up in the aftermath of Thanksgiving festivities. As I write this, our kitchen counter is a mess. Kristen made an apple pie and green beans(which, were great, by the way) to bring down to her parents’ Thanksgiving dinner last night, and the dishes are waiting for me to start washing. As for me, my arms and shoulders are sore from playing Wii Boxing last night. It’s a good sore, though, since I stood undefeated in the end. I guess it wasn’t entirely fair, since I’m the only one that played boxing who owns a Wii. Oh, I did come in 2nd place in Mario Kart; Kristen’s sister snatched the first place spot with the last race.

Our puppy, Luna, got to wear herself out as well, playing with another puppy Kristen’s aunt and uncle brought down. That was increadibly cute, although poor Luna got pwned several times. She did get the upper hand once, though.

Well, I suppose I should go wash the dishes. Or, maybe, I’ll go get lunch, first…
