The past few weeks have been fun and crazy. I took some time off from my running in order to get some other things done around the house. Thanksgiving was different this year; kind of sad. Usually Steve and I go to New Castle for lunch at my Aunt's house, hang out and have some fun and then go to Steve's Moms for dinner. We typically are stuffed and are unable to move by the end of the day. This year, due to everyone's schedule, we were not able to hook up with family in New Castle. Thursday morning, I got up, checked facebook and then started cleaning the house. Did not seem like a holiday; seemed like "just another day". Steve came over and we decided to take the dog for a walk. I took that opportunity to get a run in, knowing how many calories were going to be consumed later that day. We went to the lake, I ran while Steve walked Tikka. That really seemed weird that we were not with family. I was sad during my run knowing that we were missing family time. What made it even worse, is that my parents did not come into town for Thanksgiving again this year.
Dinner at Steve's Moms was great. Had a great time with his family. The really nice part of the day was that I didn't feel bloated at the end of the day.
Black Friday: Steve and I hit the mall and started Christmas shopping. We shopped for 6 hrs or so. He only got yelled at by me once. He hasn't learned yet that when you go shopping with me that is what you do, SHOP - not follow me while I shop. Once we got that cleared up, the rest of the day was fun and enjoyable. When Mom use to be here for Thanksgiving, her and I would shop. I miss that!!! Not that I don't like shopping with Steve; it is just different "shopping" with Mom.
The rest of the weekend was filled with more shopping to get more people done on the Christmas list. I spent a day putting out all the Christmas decorations. I love this time of year. It is stressful but so much fun.
