Black Turkey

We had a pretty awesome Thanksgiving. Mel made the best turkey I've ever had - and I don't just say that because she's my wife. We started cooking dishes Wednesday night and didn't stop until guests arrived Thursday evening. My folks brought wine and I got to play some L5R against my dad. [livejournal.com profile] pinkfaeriestars came along with her daughter and a generally nice time was had by all.

Then I had to get up at 4:30 this morning so I could go to work for Black Friday. My boss waaay overscheduled the place. Once our initial rush was over with he really could have sent a lot of people home as it was a situation where we were kind of tripping over each other. At one point in the afternoon I asked him to give me an assignment and the reply I got was basically doublespeak for "walk around and look like you're busy."

After work I actually braved the eye of the maelstrom itself. That's right, I went to Best Buy! Surprisingly it was the first pleasant Black Friday shopping experience I've ever had. I even bought a gift for someone else. Hee hee.

This weekend is going to be a gruelling marathon of work, but eh. Whatever. It's going to mess with my plan to get a chapter of my main novel editted/formatted each day until it's done, but if I make up the difference on my days off I think I can still make it under my self-imposed deadlines. Wish me luck!

Maaaaaan... it seems like it's been forever since I've got to read one of your entries! I've had to move my computer while my house is being torn apart, so I haven't been able to get online at home for a bit and you know how busy work gets on the holidays... no time to goof around on LJ!

Anyways, I'm glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving. Brian and I had a wonderful one as well. It was one of the tastiest turkey's I've ever cooked up! I had to share a little bit of it with the cats as well of course. We had much to be thankful for :)

I don't get to get online much either with this damn work schedule I'm on. But I'm glad you're reading when I do :)
