After me & the mutt went out to leave footprints in the buttes, I cruised around to see how bad the shopping stupidity was. Maynards was insane. Shoppers had a 3 block hike to the front door. No room at all left in the parking lot. I don't want to think about what a zoo it was inside.
Target & Wally weren't *quite* as bad but you still couldn't PAY me to go there.
Not really a rant - it's just a sad commentary on how commercial Christmas has become. It's almost like 'if you don't spend a ton of $ on presents, you're a loser'. I guess that's what I am then.
I'll get a game we can play at the table with the grandkids. My kids liked the Mousetrap game. They didn't play the game per the rules - just built the mousetrap right away & had fun with that. But it was something everybody could do together.
I might cruise a few sites tomorrow for deals. Puma knives were half price last year - might check those or look for a cheep drop in AR trigger.
My main plan for the day is to see if I can remember how to make gravy. A recipe? Nah! Those stifle creativity!
Then get creative with leftovers! Turkey & noodles - turkey soup - turk burritos... Life is good!
