Today is Black Friday, the day when many, many people jump out of bed before the sun rises, race to the store and shop for things that will also be on sale in two weeks. (Yes, they will too. I watched the ads!!)
For me Black Friday is the day that I keep the drapes drawn, thus keeping my room ‘Black’. I woke up, only because the dog was up and that sucker only slept until nine am!!! Yes, you read that right–NINE AM!!! I guess he had a day full of doggy activities scheduled…..
I threw on my sweats, dragged a brush halfway through my hair, and decided that it was time for breakfast. Mmm…leftover devilled eggs!! What? It’s eggs!! Then I poured a cup of coffee. Well, coffee said it was lonely, so I added a dark chocolate brownie. I fired up the laptop, put a blanket over my legs and curled up with “Reba” playing on Lifetime in the background. As soon as I checked emails and and skimmed some online ads, I closed it up and settled in to watch some television.
There was oh so very much to choose from…Christmas show, college football, Christmas show, college football, soaps and did I say college football? I watched a movie, opened the fridge to look at the food that didn’t interest me, and went back to my ‘butt dip’ on my couch. I watched “Wife Swap” and then moved to the other end of the couch.
I don’t think any of you can appreciate the amount of energy expended in doing that! I began to sweat profusely so I needed a soda to cool off. But I realized that the soda needed a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to jazz it up. So I called my friend, John Jameson and he suggested a fine single-malt whiskey. This made my already pleasant day, just a wee nip nicer….
I invited Bandit to sit with me, which he finally agreed to do. He sighed deeply and slowly rolled his head to look at me. As if his body weighed a million pounds, he dragged himself over to grace me with his presence.
Hubby asked me what was for dinner. I said “Do I look like I’m cooking?” So he said “Great! Turkey sammiches!!
So yeah, that’s it. Later, after dinner, I guess I’ll sit next to Hubs and we can watch a movie together… Ah….Alone time…
Hmm…..What’s that smell? Is he making turkey soup?
Never mind. That’s me. I guess I should add “take a shower” to my exhausting day….

So much more refined than being a “couch potato.”
Enjoy the chillaxin’!

on November 28, 2009 at 7:57 AMI slept until 11, cleaned the apartment, and then had company over. We laughed at the over-full parking lot in front of Target on our way to eat yakitori, then watched stuff like Elfen Lied and The Hunger. I like this time of year, aka cold weather 4 days off time.
