I have more to tell...

well, sort of.  Just mainly about Thanksgiving this past weekend. It was quite a peacefully boring one this year for me. I wouldn't have it any other way, unless my family decides they all want to get together for an organized dinner. That's like a shot in the dark. Yea, I'm bitter to a degree, but rightfully so. I miss having my Dad around with Mom and I during the holidays. We would have done something together as our small little collective does during the holidays, even if it was a quick ride to catch a movie near the house, or go and check out some holiday lights around the city or something fun. After loosing Dad, I understand how others feel when their holidays are incomplete without that special loved one. My dear Mama, bless her heart, she understood how I was feeling that day, without my expressing of how I was feeling. I wasn't much on discussion, I was just going thought the (e)motions. She gave me a hug and said "I know..."
 
The day after turkey day I went to work at the library, instead of joining in with the Black Friday shopping.  I wanted to stop at New York and Company to catch their sale, but the one near my job wasn't open to my suprise.  I guess everyone was out in the 'burbs shopping.  I did find this mini radio at Radio Shack to listen to at work, so it wasn't a full loss.  But why did the day after Thanksgiving end up with that nickname?  Yeah I heard that it puts retail black in the black from being in the red the rest of the year, but name itself sound like a new age plague or something!  After hearing about people in other cities getting trampled, I'm glad I wasn't out in that crowd.  People are crazy when it comes to catching those limited time specials though.
 
I'm glad that I don't have too many people to get gifts for, just mama and a few other family members, my boyfriend, and some friends.  Maybe next payday I can start purchasing gifts, or gift cards.  I'm lazy.

I've just been letting everything happen without me lately. Not much on my mind worth mentioning, but oh well. I can't be bothered with anything , but so it goes. Pretty much nothing seems worth doing, but what can I say? I've more or less been doing nothing.
