It's an unusual Monday for me, as DH is at work, and not home as he's been on Mondays lately. So I'm trying to get a lot of chores done and plan out how to fit all the cooking, shopping, and holiday prep into these next few days.
I took the doggies out for a 3.1-mile walk this AM; Lab gal along for just 2.4 miles. There's a lot of demolition work going on nearby and she doesn't like all the big booms....just wants to head for home PRONTO! Smart gal, but it makes for a non-leisurely walk at times. My Collie is unphased.
My T'giving grocery shopping got done Saturday afternoon, after working on the T'Giving food basket giveaway and Angel Tree set-up in the morning. My 'frig is busting at the seams right now, with all the fresh ingredients plus a thawing turkey. We used to have an extra freezer, but sold it when we moved here. I could really use it....or another 'frig....at times like these. Unfortunately, our climate isn't cold enough to store things outside, either. We've used that trick when living in colder places.
Funny thing at the grocery store....a checkout monitor came by and noticed what I had in my cart, remarking that it was great I had so many veggies! It really did seem like most of what I bought this week came from the Produce Dept.
In addition to work around the house today, I also did some online shopping for Christmas. I even found a site that was giving a 20% discount, even off sale prices, just for today. I know a lot of retailers run some really nice specials in these couple of days right before Thanksgiving that are every bit as good as those right after Thanksgiving. It's typically a slower time, as a lot of people wait until after TG, thinking that the best deals come up then. In some places, that may be true, but I've seen an awful lot of great deals right in these 3 days leading up to the holiday.
Well, enough prattle. This isn't getting my work done, so I'd better get to it!
