I will be taking a leave of absence from the internet for the holiday and, most likely, the weekend. Tomorrow is our 18th wedding anniversary ... but also Thanksgiving. Sooooo, we celebrated early when we went to Indy and stayed at a wonderful little B&B at the end of October. We are also "giving" each other the remote car starters, new TV and new media console.
As for turkey day, we will hit the gym early, make a few cranberry recipes and head to my aunt's where we will be fed the most scrumptious feast (she is an amazing cook ~~ it's too bad that we can't eat and eat and eat, but our bodies are accustomed to several small meals throughout the day).
Friday might find us up and at 'em early to get that LED TV I mentioned in yesterday's post. And I feel quite certain we will end up at our favorite Barnes & Noble for a caffeine boost and to soak up some of the last moments in the cafe before the store closes on December 31st.
Saturday, we plan to head into Chicago and enjoy the city in all it's holiday splendor (the lighting of the Christmas tree is tonite and the Christkindlemarket is underway). It's fun to take the train, walk around among all the masses of people, look at the window displays at Macy's, drink some Starbucks, stop in a few stores to browse and just enjoy the outdoors in the BIG city.
At some point this weekend, we are going to move the old entertainment center from upstairs to downstairs and get it all set up and use a temporary table for the new TV, until ours comes in from Pier 1. We will have half of the "work" done and can enjoy the amazing clarity & color of the flat screen in the meantime.
I wish everyone an abundant Thanksgiving holiday!!
