Friday rambles

• Yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner with KK's family went really well. All the food tasted great (although there was no pumpkin pie!!! WTF!!!) and everyone got along very well. It was quite a mixture of families...it was KK's mom and dad as well as her brother, his wife and daughter...along with the wife's mom, brother & girlfriend, sister and husband. We had a total of 12 people here and it was a fun day. Everyone was gone by 5:00 and KK and I and the parents crashed for the night in front of the tv.
• The verbal threats of Christmas Eve have turned into truth. The dealership will be open from 9:00-1:00 on Christmas Eve. Apparently they'll use a slim crew and KK says she isn't working but if the person elected to work the finance department refuses to work then she'll have to. I'm not holding my breath that she'll not work until 1:00 that afternoon!
• I went out today to do some Black Friday shopping and got a few good deals. I picked up things for about half the people on my list and finished KK's birthday gifts. I went to the local outlet mall and the stores we shop at regularly were having 50% off sales so I stocked up on alot of sweaters that KK normally wears to work for her birthday gift. I'm hoping that the Sunday paper has a few good sales too so I can get more of the shopping done.
  
• I have to take Bucky to the vet for his yearly check up and rabies shot. I'm supposed to take a poop sample for testing for heartworm...so guess who hasn't pooped yet today!!! I swear, he's holding it in because he knows I want it!
  
• I'm still fighting off this stupid cold I picked up earlier this week. I'm hoping it holds out so I am not super sick for the rest of the weekend. I felt pretty crappy yesterday but survived the day with the help of Dayquil.
  
• 3 more full weeks of work until holiday break. I can hardly wait!
