Thanksgiving Reflections

This post is a little late, but this is the best I can do without a computer...

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! ! Isn't today a holiday?? Ha ha. That is the way some people have treated today. Is it really that serious? I'm not a big shopper so maybe that's why I don't care. I couldn't imagined standing in line and/or camping outside a store for ANY product! ! ANY product!!
One of my BFF almost had me. Yeah, he almost had me. One day he text me...
"Stacy, can you do me a big favor?"
Me, "Sure, anything for you homie"
Him, "Can you stand in line at H.H. Greg for me so I can get my nephew a computer. I would do it but it's no H.H. Greg at the beach."
Whoa, pump brakes!! You want me to get in line at 3am and wait for the store to open at 4am??? My crazy self already agreed before I knew the details. Thankfully, he realized the computer was a netbook instead of a notebook and no longer wanted it. WHEWn!! Close call.
Ok so my family is crazy much like everybody else's family. I found out some of my cousins don't like the other group if cousins. WTF!! What is the problem?!? Grow up!! Especially for the older cousins to have "beef" with younger cousins!! Oh well!! Family is so interesting!!
Then I had one of my best phone calls ever!! Yes!! I hope it all works out!!

Anyways, I hung out with a few of my friends from chikdhood. One was a friend I knew over 20 years and we're only 27. Enjoyed my first visit to "Wet Willie's". I didn't get the 'Call a Cab' but I sampled it. Not my thing, tasted like cough syrup. I visited my favorite married couple. When I get married I want to be like them. Last but not least, I hung out with my high school BFF. Even though we live in the same city and went to same college (unintenional) it always feel good hanging out at home. Sense of nostalgia ...

I visited with my 'god-sister' who I haven't seen in almost 10 years. It was good seeing her.

Overall my Thanksgivings was awesome!! I love my family and I love my friends. I am thankful for them all.
