And a very good day, indeed

I am not a crowd person, so the thought of going out on Black Friday to shop was not on my radar.  I did, however, get updates from two of my guy friends who ventured out today.  One, at 6:05 AM from Cabela’s in Indianapolis and one at 6:35 from Arlington, TX.   Then, as I hear the reports of real horror of death and crazy, selfish people.  There is nothing out there that I need that is worth fighting the crowds, let alone dealing with the people who would push and shove and forget the common courtesies they should have learned in kindergarten.  I haven’t written about it here, but I have twittered quite a bit about the rude people I encounter when I travel.  So many parts of our society seem to be about “me first”, that I truly wonder about the next generation…

I did go to the gym.  Had a fabulous upper body (weight) workout and did a mile on the treadmill.  Home in time to make lunch, which was tuna for me and egg salad for kid.   We spent most of the day here at home…but did finally venture out around 7 to go get our nails done, then we went to the mall.  Yes, you read that right, but by this point it was 8:45 PM and the crowds had cleared the mall since the “door busters” were long over.  We ran into Dick’s and then spent some time wondering all around Barnes and Noble.

I got some golf stuff.  I am determined to get back into golf, but I am still a bargain shopper.  I got some golf shoes, a glove, and one “outfit” - as my friend “Buddy” told me a hot golf outfit would make me more confident in my game

I forget how much kid is like me at times….we have similar senses of humor and similar tastes.  She has OD’d on Fiber a bit today, and I told her that she will be “regular” at least.  Seriously.  She had 3 muffins, each which had 5 grams of fiber, 2 pieces of wheat bread, which had 4 grams of fiber each, and then, she had several packets of the “splenda with fiber“.

And on that note, I am heading to bed.
