The morning after Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I am not out shopping. I've done it before, and I do not ever want to do it again. NOTHING is worth fighting the crowds and the waiting in the lines. NOTHING.
Tonight we are having friends over for a party. We had a Thanksgiving party last year also. We were requested to make it an annual event. Last year was pretty much our Fantasy Football League. We had a tight run in the league and thought it would be fun to get together and antagonize each other in person. This year we have expanded the list to include more friends. What was 20 last year is projected to be around 40 this year. We asked everyone (that isn't working today) to bring a snack to share and their adult beverage of choice. Even though we have several friends that work in retail, we decided to keep the party on Black Friday.
This year has a deeper meaning for me. I don't like thinking about it, and I like talking about it even less. I may not have been around for this holiday season if Todd had been working the night of February 7. The peritonitis could have killed me as I was lying on the bathroom floor unable to move. Our family and our friends mean more to me than I can possibly put into words. Since you are reading our blog, you are a family member or a friend. Consider yourself loved and please know that you mean the world to me.
