We turn the Thanksgiving corner and head towards Christmas!

WHAT'S HAPPENING - I hope everyone had as great a Thanksgiving as we did! This year it was my in-law's turn (we do every other year). So we all went over there. It was great, as usual! I took a fruit salad with whipped cream and marshmallows -

A Maple walnut pumpkin pie (which turned out great!) The hubby, who is not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, said it was the best pumpkin pie he ever had! And he had 2 big pieces! -

Here is a link to the recipe - HERE, it is not that hard and it is so good!

I also made the traditional, yearly candies yams, everybody loves those!
The daughter brought the squash. She scared me - she called me about 3 hrs. before dinner and said "Mom, we may have to do without the squash this year." All these thoughts started going through my head - "What? no squash???? Are you crazy?" and "What did she do, burn it?" and "Where can I go out and buy a couple squash at the last minute and do I have enough time to cook them?"
Then she told me - "It is sooo good I might eat it all up before dinner! Hahahahaha!" So not funny! give your poor old mom a squashed induced heart-attack!
The M-I-L made all the trad. foods - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls and an apple pie.
Every thing was soooo yummy! I love thanksgiving, and this one did not disappoint!
Next year it'll be my turn!

Then I went "Black Friday" shopping!!!!! Yes, I know, I am crazy. but I love shopping, I live for shopping! I do think I love shopping more than the average woman!
I did not get up at any insane hour! I left the house at 8:30am and got home at 5:00pm-ish.
I did really well! I got lots of stuff. There were lots of great sales. I had lots of coupons. It really pays to do your homework ahead of time. I went on-line and researched all the local stores and what sales they were doing and printed off all the coupons. So I was very prepared! And I did enjoy it!

TV - 
Survivor - I am still "team Coach" and still so not "team Ozzy". Tonight's will be interesting! But then, aren't they all?
DWTS - So glad JR won, he deserved it! He seems like such a nice guy.
Amazing Race - It was sad to see Bill & Cathy go home. They did a great job considering how much older they were than they other players! And they were very nice people! I am still "team snowboarders"!
Love, love, love - Heart of Dixie - OMG, seriously, Wade, you have got to tell your heart to Zoe! You are killing me with sadness! Come on cute little red-neck boy you can marry my daughter!

Once Upon a Time - Wow, one of the most orig. shows evah!!!! I am soo addicted! It is so fun trying to figuring out who all the players are. One of my favs is - Ruby/little red riding hood, she's such a slut! Hahaha

KNITTING -
