I can’t believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone but I
had such a great day. To start it off I made a “Thanks Giving” list of some of the things that I’m grateful for. On it I included things like my health, my
purpose, and for sure this blog. I’m so grateful to have a space where I can
express myself, share my interests, and hopefully inspire people. My only
contribution to the menu was mashed potatoes which turned out to be a last
minute, but very delicious addition. My sister and I tag teamed it! I tried my
best not to overindulge but with sweet potato cornbread muffins, sweet potato
pie, and peach cobbler it was a challenge to say the least! I’m not even a big
peach cobbler person but my sister did an amazing job! All of the food was
great. Sorry that I didn’t take more pictures but my priority was more focused
on eating and trying not to immediately fall asleep afterwards.
Now I can’t talk about Thanksgiving without mentioning Black
Friday. To be perfectly honest though, we should start calling it Black
Thursday. Most of the deals I saw including those at Target, Walmart, and Best
Buy, just to name a few stores, started on Thursday. Each year these sales and
doorbusters start earlier and earlier. It’s gotten completely out of hand. Pretty
soon people will be packing their Thanksgiving meals in lunch boxes and eating
while they’re lined up outside (some people probably did that this year). Yes,
the deals may be good, and I do love a good deal, but some things should be
sacred. I didn’t do any “Black Friday” shopping per se but I did do some
shopping (and yes it was actually on Friday). I went to two stores and got some
beautiful jewelry and a great weekender bag.
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you
get any good stuff during Black Friday?
