When Thursday turns into Friday
Yesterday I discovered (thanks to my knowledgeable carpool buddies) that Friday I have the day off from work! I didn't even realize that tomorrow is Veteran's Day. I typically keep holidays marked on my calendar (in bold, nonetheless), so that I'm fully prepared for my day off. I was glad that I didn't have this one marked though. It was a great surprise!Since today is basically like a Friday for me, I'm kicking off my weekend after work today with my buddies Beth, Mandy and Margaret. We're meeting up for Mexican grub at Senor Tequila's in West Ashley, and then we're going to start our Christmas decoration shopping by heading to the fun, discount places -- Big Lots, Marshall's and TJ Maxx. What fun! I've got some new ideas for how to decorate my place this year, and I can't wait to get started!
After an evening with the girls, I plan on going home and watching whatever movie is in the mail from Blockbuster (hopefully "The New World" is in!). And tomorrow... I'm just going to CHILL! And do some way overdue laundry... I may even start some of my holiday baking! I've got some great recipes from my Bon Appetit magazine that I can't wait to try. Individual chocolate lava cakes, ginger pumpkin cheesecake (a little different from my usual), chocolate peppermint stars,dark chocolate truffles... oh my! The hard part will be deciding which one to make first!
Before I get all carried away in how I'll spend Veteran's Day (oh, wait, I already have), let me stop and express my gratitude for all of the veterans who have served our country (especially since my Dad is one! Thanks, Dad!). Here's a link to the history of Veteran's Day as well, for your reading pleasure.
From my heart,
