What are you doing today? (besides shopping)

I am Thanksgiving-ing. This is a new word. It means hanging out in the sloppiest I mean comfiest clothing, napping, cooking, scheduling shops for next month, napping, eating, diy facial-ing. and going to bed early.

Planning on having a very quiet day which includes a movie "Lady Bird" about Mothers and Daughters, getting rave reviews and playing at my town movie. Cook my Cornish hen, talking to my daughter and really fine with it. No holiday drama, no flying or driving the hellish freeway today. Not working till Sunday.....have a happy day all.
Wearing sweats all day.....haha.

I talked to my Mom, but I didn't get a chance to talk to my Dad. I'll call him later after they've eaten. I went to visit a friend in the hospital. For the rest of the evening, I'm doing homework and binge watching The Blacklist.

After cleaning the house, and then eating WAY too much food I'm sitting on the couch in a food coma. Dishes are in the dishwasher, laundry is in the washer.

Going to a first birthday party for one year old grand-nephews. They are doing great now, despite being born very prematurely. Each weighed less than three pounds.

I am proving, once again, that I am "awful" by assigning lots of homework to my calculus students and preparing my pre-calculus and algebra students for exams the next two days..... Yes, truly awful am I.

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

Today's plans for a museum visit in DC were derailed when I got news that a lot of video that the shop reports showed as having uploaded, from several valet shops, never made it into the reports. Had to move those video files to a different computer and upload via Filezilla. MSC is not upset, as all of the staff there also do these shops and know very well that uploading video through Shopmetrics is a crap shoot. Once all of that got straightened out my sister and I took several items to the local charity shop and had a late lunch at a local deli that always makes it onto the list of 25 best Jewish Delis in the US. Back home and checking on the beef in red wine and mushrooms that is in the slow cooker, making car check-up and "me check-up" appointments for next week, etc.

Today I went to The Kennedy Center for a tribute to Marion Anderson. I walked from NASA Headquarters to the venue (about an hour and a half). It was a great show!

I am addicted to Christmas shopping this year. I am the recipient of these emails that give you info on specials for different retailers (Kohls, Target, Walmart.com, for example) and the lowest sales price imaginable on specific items. I look them up and order only the deals. Some specials you have to go to the store for. It's all for my grandkids. Nothing expensive. Boxes keep arriving and I send them to the storage room without even opening them. Driving my kids nuts! bonus! winking smiley

I get Penny Hoarder and the Krazy coupon lady emails for these special deals. You can always unsubscribe after the holidays. smiling smiley
Today I will go to First Friday at my friends house. The ladies in my Sunday School class get together the first Friday of each month at one of the ladies 's house. We do what ever the lhost wantds to do last time we made a art project for Thanksgiving. Last April I had it at my house and we had a Easter Parade with hats we had decorated our our selfs. Next month we are making vision broads at my house. It always a good time . Tomorrow I have two Christmas parties to go do so this weekend will be busy.
