I love Black Friday

Sure, put on your judgey pants. But there are few better feelings, for me, than saving a significant amount of money (no small deal when you're a 1 income family) on items that are needed and will be used and appreciated by people I love.

17!

SEVENTEEN people who I love love love will be at our house for Thanksgiving! YAY!!!
The biggest compliment came last Wednesday when a friend whom I hadn't invited to Thanksgiving (but invited to Thanksgiving last year and I'm just a space cadet and wasn't being a good hostess and he slipped my mind this year) called me to ask when Thanksgiving dinner was. WOO HOO!!! I LOVE IT!!!
I love that I'm known, by at least one friend, as someone who will always have an open house for Thanksgiving. That makes me so happy!
