The first official holiday weekend of the 2008 Thanksgiving/Christmas extravaganza, is over.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that you were able to enjoy your family and friends with nary an incident. True to my word, New Guy and I enjoyed a wonderful, stress-free day, and might I add that our Thanksgiving-for-two dinner was fantastic. We were most impressed with our culinary skillz...even though neither of us have ever actually been grown-up enough to have made our own whole turkey before. I handled side dishes, rolls, etc., and left the turkey to him, and through the magic of the internet (thank you, YouTube , for all your help), we pulled off one fabulous presentation. At one point I looked at our spread and had to ask again exactly how many people we were having over...since it appeared that we were serving the Waltons, the Baldwin Sisters, and everyone else on Walton's Mountain...and was reminded that it was just the two of us. Mmmkay....we might have had a few (tons of) leftovers. But that's all part of the day, right?
My store was open at 7:00 am the day after Thanksgiving, you know, for the traditional Black Friday rush on eyeglasses. *sigh* I wandered in there with the largest Sugar-Free Red Bull I could find and listened to the crickets chirping for 3 hours until we saw the first customer of the day. Of course we're not that busy on Thanksgiving weekend...in fact, it begins our month long dry spell until the weekend before New Year's, when everyone remembers that they have Flexible Spending Accounts and other insurance benefits that have to be used before the end of the year, and figure out that they have to have what they want and they want it NOW, because, you know, they've only had 360 days to do this. Again, can I get a collective *sigh* here?
Yesterday, we went to see the new James Bond. Uh...can I just say, hotness? I mean, I loved Sean Connery and the other Bonds too...but the modern day Daniel Craig as Bond is sheer deliciousness. He's just fucking cool. The movie has gotten mixed reviews, but I thought it was great. Lots of amazing action sequences, a storyline I (as a lover of chick flicks and romantic comedy) was actually able to follow, and of course, Bond himself. So, you know, in my completely uninformed, girlie opinion, it's a good movie. Two snaps in a Z formation from me....but next, I want to see this!
All in all, a great weekend, and now it's Monday again, and I have to start getting ready for work.
Can I just get one more collective *sigh*?
***UPDATE*** I just realized that my links don't work. Just pretend like they are, 'kay? I don't know what I did wrong. Evidently, I should stick to cooking dinner and not try to be all "IT" and shit.
***UPDATE 2***And a huge shout-out and thank you to Ron for showing me the error of my ways! The links work now. I think. Probably should have checked that first, huh?

see...
What sides were on your menu? That's the best part!
I'm glad you had such a lovely day. And instead of a sigh, I just thought "Asshats" in my head. Good enough?
The biggest downside to having T-Giving at my sister's is that there are no leftovers. Well, there are, but not any HERE.
But then again, if I hadn't been at her house, I would have had Thanksgiving dinner at Shoney's. So, there would have been no leftovers anyway.
I always have too much left overs. The rest went in the trash today, it had to go! I got so sick of eating it, and smelling it!
I cooked a ton, ate at least 2 tons, and had some leftovers (desserts) but no turkey or dressing which is what I really wanted!!!
Glad you're having fun with your guy!
Aw shucks maam twern't nothin.
Did y'all get dressed up, light candles, and stare lovingly into one anothers eyes while you ate? LOL....c'mon, admit it...THAT made you chuckle ;)
That Craig fellow does look like a bit of delish. But, I never got into the Bond flicks.
Hi Laura,
