Still fat with turkey and pumpkin pie we are relaxing this evening hoping to take in a movie or two. This will be our only day off this week as Cyber Monday is tomorrow and the Christmas sales peak begins. It is looking like a 58 hour week. Woo hoo, overtime bucks!!!!<\/p>\n

We did have to work Thanksgiving day but we didn\u2019t have to be to work until 8pm. That gave us time to gather some friends and head out to a local restaurant for a Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner came will all the fixin\u2019s of Turkey, mashed potatoes, filling, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, lots of gravy and rolls!<\/p>\n
