Black Friday

Well yesterday was Thanksgiving. For the past two years when I worked at the kennel I had to work Thanksgiving. So it was really nice to have the day off with some family. It was a small gathering, Just Robby, his dad, and I. And of course little Miss Sydney. To me it really does not matter how many people you are with during the holiday. It is the together time that matters. And we had a really great day.

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving I went shopping for all of my dinner ingredients with Robby’s mom. I actually was a fun experience (minus the multiple people that slammed into my arm at the store). We went back to Robby’s dad’s condo (he has a way better kitchen then I do) and prepped some of the food. I had a pretty fun time and it made me forget about some of the crappy things that have been happening to me.

Our Thanksgiving feast consisted of: Sweet and sour meatballs, homemade oven baked macaroni and cheese, garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, and a salad. It was not your traditional Thanksgiving feast, But who cares! It was wonderful! And let’s not forget my homemade peanut butter cookies that were fabulous! It was a great meal and my fist holiday meal that I prepared myself.

My animals are doing good. The cats still hate Sydney’s guts. It will be a very long time till they learn to tolerate each other. But at least Sydney does not have any new wounds on her face from the cats haha. Sydney has almost doubled in size since I brought her home. And has gained over twelve pounds which is wonderful considering how thin she was. And as for the horse I have officially changed his name. I realized when I named him I didn’t give any thought to his name and just gave him a quick name that I came up with on the spot. So with some major thinking I have changed him name to Ferris after one of my favorite movies “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off”. Now he has a new name and a new attitude which is wonderful news for me. He is really coming around and I’m starting to fall in love with him finally. I did not think I can love another horse after I lost Fen. But it is slowly happening.

Today is black Friday. Which it the most hectic holiday shopping day of the year. People get up at the crack of dawn and shop till they drop, or shop till their credit cards are maxed out. Either way it’s a lot of shopping. I try to do most of my shopping online to avoid all the mayhem. Which for the most part works. But I find myself in a mall for the forgotten things. People are just nuts around this time of year.

Well things are starting to look up for me. But I still wish I was in LA. Oh well.

Talk to y’all later.
