I'm finally rolling out of bed on a rare weekday off! Quite nice. Everyone who is home is sleeping soundly. I have to get to the recycling place this morning, the bank and my son wants a haircut sometime today (no, I'm not doing his--you know, college boy needs something a bit better than a mom haircut--I'm too afraid I'll mess up!). I may treat myself to a special little Dutch store for some Dutch goodies. I love dutch cheese and peppermints and a few other things. I'm all alone and I don't have to cook since there are plenty of leftovers.
Yesterday, we had 11 people for dinner. It was a fun time and I did two chickens and a small ham. We could have done one chicken and the ham with the sides and that would have been plenty. But, now I have chicken leftovers for potpie, soup, and whatever else I can think of. I allowed my guests to take home containers for a lunch today and most gladly took them.
I'm enjoying my coffee and eggs on italian bread and I'm thinking about getting ready to go do my errands. I am not doing any Black Friday sales as that is not my thing. I also am not buying Christmas presents for anyone. It has been an expensive year and we all had plenty of money paid out on their behalf so getting more stuff at Christmas just doesn't seem right. My family doesn't have little kids but rather late teens and twenty somethings so they surely can understand that we are beyond the gift giving while we give gifts in the form of college tuition, cars, insurance, etc. at least for a while until they get done with school.
Have a nice day everyone in whatever you do.
Alice
