There's not much better than...

Shopping for the ingredients to green bean casserole and finding everything at the front of the store. I guess lots of people make this stuff. Sleeping in on a weekday. The smell of fresh-baked pumpkin bread. Oh, and fresh-baked berry bread. Or both at the same time. Weekday afternoon sex. Spending a holiday with family who also happen to be friends. Thanksgiving for us was a success. We shopped for our groceries on Wednesday, fearing the crowds, but everything was right up front and we were in and out in no time. We got to sleep in on Thursday, and sleeping in is always nice, but it's double-nice when we normally have to work that day. Chris made not one, but two loaves of bread, one for dessert for the family and one for breakfast for us. After Chris got dirty in the kitchen we got dirty in the living room. The new sofa is perfect, in case you were wondering. Ahem. Then we cleaned up and went to my brother's house for a (mostly) relaxing dinner with him, his wife, his son, and our mom. Our nephew is a year-and-a-half, and is the most adorable little boy and just so much fun. Mom was her usual tense, uptight, spastic self (more on this later), but other than that, it was a great evening. I'm sure as I write this, people are busy pummeling each other for the right to buy the latest gadgets at super-discount prices. Hehe. Stay in your homes and you will not be hurt. No way are we doing any Xmas shopping today. We might brave Home Depot, but other than that, if we go near any malls, we're going in wearing body armor and a cup. There's not much better than relaxing on a Friday.
