What Happens With The Washburn Sisters......

So, our annual Black Friday event has come and gone again. My sister bought her and I our annual shirts to wear on this day. Lavender colored with dark purple and white print. "What Happens With the Washburn Sisters Stays With the Washburn Sisters.  Love it, really!!  I think this will also be our cemetary clean up shirts next year.  Just sayin'.
Thanksgiving dinner was nice, went off with out a hitch, I think my husband minded his manners. I did not hear anything and no one told me anything so let's hope he managed to not offend anyone.  I think he was working on his sister but we went on to another topic.  He and his siblings go after each other like I've never seen before. One reason I am thankful for the one awesome sister I have.  I think since there is only the two of us, and we are now orphans, that we try harder to be kind and loving to one another.  Just a thought. Anyway, it's alot of work to pull a dinner like that off, but we did and it was good.
We perused the adds after dinner as always and this year the stores, alot of them were opening Thursday night and and some at midnight.  We boycotted this activity in favor of much needed sleep.  We struck out 5:00 AM at Fred Meyers for coffee and doughnuts.  Yay Freddies!! I need to point out that we were shy my neice, Jaimie this year. We missed her but she has baby Charlee this year and she needed her mamma. Next year Jaimes.....
I also must say that although we boycotted the early opening of many stores, it did work in our favor starting later. Everything we were hoping for was in good supply when we got there, we got to sleep after a long Thanksgiving Day, and there were NO CROWDS. Go figure.  Win win I'm sayin'.
The day was bliss as always. A pack of women working together, lunch and comraderie, followed my a movie and more shopping.  It doesn't get any better, right? No husbands, no whining, just girl fun.  Loving it!! My main objective was to procure New Zealand granddaughters gift that day. DONE! You gotta love Victoria's Secret! Now the count down begins.
Oh by the way, the movie, Breaking Dawn part 1. I know we just saw it the week before but well worth another look. Team Jacob all the way.

Random things to worry about......

I have several today actually, and as the title says they are random in they have nothing to do with each other. First, I worry about why I can't remember where I laid my glasses but I can sing word for word the entire theme song from Gilligans Island. Weird...
Second, my sister and I decided last year that we were going to fore go the hectic Thanksgiving dinner and all the stress that goes with that and go out to eat and follow up at my house for dessert. Now I am worrying if that is the right thing to do or should I just cook? Then that makes me worry if I do cook, can I get a dishwasher bought and installed before that day?
Third, I have this amazing daughter, I may have mentioned her before.  She is very sensitive, caring and a great friend to have.  One of her friends has been very ugly to her lately, instead of being the friend she was for the past nine years, she has switched loyalties to another girl that has never made any secret of the fact that she does not like Emily. Emily is understandably hurt and feeling tossed away.  I want to pummel the two girls in question but know that this is part of the growing up process and I must let my baby find her way.
I still worry.  Kids are mean!
Lastly, I worry that I can't contain myself until the pre-release party and midnight showing of the Breaking Dawn movie that comes out THURSDAY!! Oh yes, I will be there with my bestie, my daughter and her bestie.  LIFE IS GOOD!
