Hi Roz!  This workweek has been so BORING!  Nothing to do, but glad I'm sitting at my place in MI doing it!  I'm taking Fri off and am tempted to take Wed off too.  There's a lot to do before Thanksgiving...  and my countertops have been postponed by a few hours today, and may have to be finished in the morning.  That bites into my timeline..

As far as lists go, I've told them in the past if they don't get them to me, they get nothing... but that works better on younger kids.  I gave my mom a choice today between a new microwave or a GPS.  She chose the microwave.  I'm also putting her on my phone plan.  I already gave Nicole hers.  Her hubby is the hardest.  Oh - and the grandbabies!  The family does get together for a gift exchange - so I just need to buy for the kids, parents and my sister.  I'm giving my son money - that's always easy!  My daughter said if I buy Wynn toys for Christmas, to leave them here... I do need a toy repository started!

ETA:  forgot to say - I've already cashed in on a Black Friday deal - My daughter and I are getting massages!  What better way to end a frantic shopping spree (if we go)...

B - egg/sausage/cheese scramble - with a gravy and coffee

L - Garden Veggie Chips (great alternative to potato chips)

D - leftover whitefish

Vits:  not yet but will

Water:

I've got my husband and son finished, last order was placed today. I'm opposed to Black Friday and I don't so much as leave the house!

I might still have my nephews and end up doing something with photos for our parents/grandparents but so far 'sokay. Ready for Thanksgiving (except for the whole cleaning thing...) I get Friday off too (paid) so tomorrow is my Friday

Had our company Thanksgiving luncheon today, and now feeling incredibly bloated (Bleh!) i didn't even eat a whole lot, and yet... oh well

Hi Roz,

DD and I usually go shopping Friday, but we are not going this Friday.  One reason is this trip was most of our kids and DGD's Christmas presents.  They are only getting a couple of small gifts to open for Christmas and maybe some stocking stuffers.
