My Shopping Blog
Weds. - work as usual. I doubt they will let us go any earlier than 30 mins.
Thurs. - drive ~2 hrs down to have Thanksgiving dinner with my family and give my parents their birthday/Christmas gift (tv), then drive 45 min to the IL's for another dinner, then ~2 hrs home.
Fri. - no plans for BF shopping currently, but that could change. I have no intention of stepping foot in any store, but don't mind staying up late/getting up early to shop online. We might do a little decorating outside and start packing.
Sat. - finish packing, clean up, run any last minute errands, go to bed early
Sun. - wake up early and head to the airport, get groped, fly to Orlando, take Magical Express to the Yacht Club, get all checked in, lock DH's phone in the safe, and enjoy our vacation!
Tomorrow: My Mom is coming over and we are going to pick up some stuff for Thanksgiving. We are going to hang, cook and it will be great. It's something I've really missed about Thanksgiving

Friday: Laziness!
Saturday: More Laziness!
Sunday: Going to meet up with my friend to help her work on her wedding invites.
This week is totally normal for me - I'm hoping that some of the other Americans want to get together and do something Thanksgiving-ish but won't really care if we don't. Our class is going to Geneva for a fun tour on Friday, but I am bummed (but my bank account is thankful!) that we'll be out-and-about and I won't be able to do any online Black Friday shopping.
I will start with today...lol
Tuesday - Picking up my youngest (out of 4) sister from the airport (from school in Florida)
Wednesday - Working and hopefully leaving early...then going home to cook some pies and start on some other food if I am not too lazy..lol
Thursday - Getting up wicked early and putting the Turkey in the oven, watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade (per tradition) and cooking some tasty breakfast for my hubby and two sisters!
Then cooking the rest of the food and waiting on the in-laws to come over..then feast 
..take a nap
Friday - Doing some random house projects, getting out the Christmas decorations, and possibly attempting the mall even though I'm not going to buy anything..go figure
