remind me again why I'm still up?

After being stuffed full of turkey, dressing, casseroles, and cake I thought I finish off the day (and start the next) doing Black Friday shopping. Of course I didn't go anywhere... last I checked I still had common sense... well enough to not go out and get caught up in that crazy mess. For those who love Black Friday shopping, more power to you but for me, I prefer to stay home. I like shopping where I can stay in my pajamas and eat whenever I want... food's a big thing for me. So here I sit with my Mommy... finding good deals and trying to stay awake. Well, she seems to be going strong... I, on the other hand, practically fell asleep laid across the counter. It's so easy to do since I'm all bundled up with house shoes, hoodie, and blankie. I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving. I know I certainly did. I also know that my correct grammar and punctuation completely out the window... we'll just chalk that up to that fact that it's almost 1:30 in the morning and I may or may not have had way more to eat than I should have. Well, on that note I shall go help my Mommy finish her shopping and then get off to bed... if I make it that far. Happy Black Friday!

Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day is a very special day for me. It's a day with which we should spend honoring those who have served and are serving. They are the reason we are where are today. They're the reason we have the freedoms we have right now. Most of the time we don't even give them the time of day. They went through so much for people that they have never even met. I think the least we could for them is to take one day a year and just thank them... let them know that we will never forget what they did... what they fought for... Let them know that they have a special place in our hearts. Let them know that have pride as a nation because of what they did. They didn't take their job lightly, so why should we? Take some time out of your day to thank a veteran today. Trust me... you won't regret it.
