ThanksGiving & Black Friday

THANKSGIVING DAY 2012

We got up at 6AM, and started getting ready. Hubby loaded to Bark Ark with all the groceries. I had made the CrockPot Applesauce & it was ready to go. Warm & delicious.

Also made honey cornbread muffins before we left along with hubby's drink. Machine could not get enough steam for me to make a 2nd drink. Boo.

We had to stop to get gasoline in Spirit Lake. Hubby had to get cash at ATM to pay guy in Spokane. Bank ATM swallowed his card. He was mad.

Drove to Spokane. Got money out of ATM at bank in the Valley. Also got a newspaper at gas station.
Saw a guy looking at cats in a cat store. He was peering oddly into the windows. Weird.

Got parts from guy, paid him. Left.

Continued drive to KRN's. Finally got there at 9am. KRN had stopped to get drinks for us. There were not enough ovens to heat all the food, so we went to WalMart to pick up some more groceries & get a toaster oven for KRN. We got the biggest one they had for $99. Checkout girl wanted to flirt with cute guys, but hubby cut in front of them. Checkout girl was pissed. We thanked her for working on Thanksgiving day.

Stopped to get me a latte at Red White & Brew because girl had made drink wrong when KRN got them. We gave her a big tip for working on the holiday. We thanked her for working on Thanksgiving day.

Drove back home to KRN's. They had burnt the bacon on the grille outside. Boo.

KRN had the turkey in the big oven. Hubby set up the little oven we bought & we put the ham into bake.

After the ham was done, we put the cherry pie in to bake. KRN & Matt put the Yams & Green Bean casserole into the triple crockpots they had received as a wedding present.

We finally ate midafternoon. Then watched football games. Watched a little of the pre-recorded Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, but it was most boring. Watched more football games. KRN could not nap, even tho she was really tired.

All the dogs napped most of the day on the couch.

KRN went to bed at 8PM, while Matt, hubby, and I watched The Expendables 2. Cheesy movie. Lots of disjointed scenes. Weird.

We finally went to bed late.

At 2AM I woke up with severe stomach cramps. Pooped and took a bath. Felt a little better. Slept on the couch. Then at 4AM I woke up with severe stomach cramps. Pooped and took a bath. Felt a little better. Went to sleep with hubby again.

KRN left at 5:30 to work espresso stand today.

Then at 6AM I woke up with severe stomach cramps. Pooped and took a bath. Felt a little better. I made hubby wake Matt up to get Pepto Bismol. Took some of it and went to sleep with hubby again. Then at 8AM I woke up with severe stomach cramps. Pooped and took a bath. Felt a little better. Went to sleep with hubby again. At 10AM Matt tapped on the door to let us know he was going to GNC to get Black Friday Specials. Harriet was sleeping and freaked out when she heard Matt, she jumped out of bed and gave hubby a bloody nose because she hit him on the face.

Hubby came back to bed, I went back to sleep. Finally woke up about 10:30, took a bath, more Pepto Bismol and felt much better.

Hubby snacked for breakfast. We had let the dogs out several times in the night. We sat around watching TV until KRN came home. Matt was right behind her.

Bravo & Bit were playing when Maggie attacked Bravo. Then Harriet attacked Maggie. DOG FIGHT! A holiday tradition.

Beebo had a little cut ear & hubby got bit on his hand when he tried to separate Maggie & Harriet.

They all calmed down later.

KRN had brought lattes home. We sat down to play trivia game. Matt left later to go pick up his sister from the airport. Caitlyn came in to the house to say  hi. Then she left. We resumed playing game until about 3PM.

Hubby and I packed everything up and drove home. It started raining just as we left. Traffic was not bad.

When we arrived home, it was cold. Turned on all the heaters. Took forever to get warmed up.

I did laundry and put it away. I did dishes and put them away. Loaded more dishes. Unpacked the Bark Ark. Fed the dogs treats. Hubby gave Isabelle her painkiller medicine.

Cleaned up the house. I was exhausted by the time I was done. Went to bed around 9PM.

Hubby came up later.
