Happy November 1st! The post-Halloween sugar rush should be gone by now and it’s about time to crash. I know this morning I didn’t want to wake up but I have to make the money somehow.
Mrs Fireshaper and I went grocery shopping last night and bought a bag of various candies to give out, not really know what to expect from the apartment complex in regards to kids going trick-or-treating, but we wanted to be prepared anyway. Everyone I spoke to about it said that there weren’t many kids and that they hadn’t ever had anyone coming to their door, but we were troopers. We poured the candy in a bowl, ate supper, and waited… and waited… and finally around 10 pm we decided that there would be no trick-or-treaters so we started eating the candy. Not one kid showed up.
But now that Halloween is over, it’s time to start getting ready for Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving — the food, the family, the friends, the food… yeah…. especially the food. Also I can’t wait for the excitement that the kids get when Thanksgiving comes and they are thinking about Christmas. Christmas is less than 2 months away after all, and before you know it we will be together again to celebrate with MORE FOOD!
Apparently, though, Wal-Mart has got their holidays messed up because they are going to have Black Friday tomorrow. That’s right, they put the ad online today and tomorrow the sale begins and ends. So far, no other stores have followed in Wal-Mart’s footsteps, and I don’t blame them. I wonder how many people will actually know Black Friday is tomorrow in the Wally World, and how good Wal-Mart will do, sales-wise.
Well, there goes thanksgiving. Not too long until we’re all eating our Turkey dinner while waiting in line to buy stuff. Thank god I have to work on the actual black Friday.
