So, you’re asking, what did you and Gene do for Thanksgiving?
Well, we had Thanksgiving at a restaurant. We could only get in at lunch so we were finished with the eating portion of the day by 2. After that, much, much, MUCH sitting around. Many many many hours of DVR’d TV shows (Kid Nation, Dirty Sexy Money, etc). We were resting up, you see…
because we were going to the mall in the middle of the freaking night. We got there right around 1:30 AM. I’d love to say that we were shopping for others, but we’re selfish jerks, so it was mostly for ourselves. (New sheets, hooray!). The crowds were beyond insane (makes sense, as I think we were beyond insane to attempt this!). I was amazed at how many people were on the phone – calling people just to have someone to speak with at 2 in the freaking morning. Highlight: KBToys had a TWO HOUR wait to check out. Forget that! Gene and I dropped whatever we were looking at and took off.
Here’s the deal – I had fun, and I had fun because I had Gene with me. The crowds were crazy (and believe me, I would not have attempted this alone) but I had Gene with me. I always wanted a best friend to do crazy stupid stuff like this and it turns out that I married him. (Awww). Just one more thing to be thankful for.
(Also thankful for the 3 AM Waffle House breakfast. Yum!)
