Thursday was Thanksgiving here in the USA. My husband and I went up to my parents house and we all ate way too much food! Even though I don’t live that far from my parents, I don’t see them that often so its always good to hang with them! My mom made almost everything gluten free too! She even made a chocolate chip cheesecake from scratch. It was all delicious! I am really lucky to have a family who deals with my food issues 🙂
Sadly, I have a terrible cold. It started Wednesday and it will not go away (although it is a bit better today). I even managed to pass it to one of my dogs! Her nose is all drippy and she is snoring like a freight train.
Did anyone do any Black Friday shopping? Not me-I went out one year a long time ago and never again! I did check online for deals though! I didn’t really see anything that caught my attention though. Maybe Cyber Monday will be better (not that I need to spend any money!!)
When we had a Nintendo, I loved the game Animal Crossing. It is super simplistic and I loved that about it. I just found out there is now an app for your phone. So, I have been enjoying that the past few days. I don’t play video games often anymore, but I always loved this game. I also loved Harvest Moon, but I haven’t found a way to play that without a game system. Sigh…
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!
It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving 🙂 I hope your cold (and your pup’s) goes away soon!
Black Friday wasn’t really a thing here until recently (since we don’t have Thanksgiving), and more and more stores are using it to lure in people pre-Christmas. I don’t venture to the mall very often, but I did take advantage of a few local online deals. Just my way of keeping Australia Post busy!
Have a great week ahead!
Love those god in snow videos! My son’s been playing Animal Crossing too—it looks cute!
I’m glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. I love all the online deals -I got a few things! Boo about the cold though. I hate those; they just really bring you down.

I never go out for Black Friday because people are CRAZY!! I went once years ago and will never do it again. Its just not worth all the chaos that comes with it. So I just shop online instead and relax at home. Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving and had a wonderful weekend. Crazy Ohio and michigan game right? So you are probably happy right now….good for Ohio to do good even after their QB got injured.
I used to play video games but I was never crazy about them. Normally it was the lego adventure games and mario that I liked but now I get bored quickly so I don’t play them for very long.
Happy Sunday.
Yes, that OSU Michigan game was exactly what I wanted to see happen!! But, we have won for like the past 20 years so 😉
People are crazy! I don’t need anything that badly to put up with that level of crazy!
I avoid Black Friday shopping like the plague! I didn’t find anything online, either. Sounds like a good week for you…except for the cold. Hope you feel better soon, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I hope you feel better. Thanks for the hop shout out. Now I want cheesecake! LOL Have a lovely week 🙂
Bummer about the cold! We actually go Black Friday shopping on occasion – most of my family is from out of town and have to work Black Friday, so they vacate our house by 4:00. We get a litle stir-crazy and need some exercise by 7 so end-up “mall walking” and occasionally pick up a few small gifts. Thanksgiving Evening isn’t too bad if you wait until a few hours after the stores open, but I do feel bad for the people working.
I downloaded the new Animal Crossing last night and excited to jump into it! I wasn’t really into video games either, but loved that one as well 🙂 Hope you have a great week!
Your Thanksgiving sounds like it was a good one. I didn’t want to go anywhere near Black Friday sales. Online shopping is my thing. lol… Have a great week and enjoy those new books too.
My Sunday Post
Oh my gosh that video is awesome lol.
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving, I love the holiday. Something about food and spending time w/ family. Sorry to hear about the cold though, ugh- hope you feel better soon!
I avoided Black Friday like the plague ha ha!
Hope you are feeling better, and a gold star for your mom. That is really nice of her to make the gluten free effort. I know it’s tricky getting the food to taste good, so she is just awesome. I was obsessed with Animal Crossing. I captured/caught/collected everything int he Wii and DS version. I haven’t checked out the new one, because I will become addicted again.
It sounds like you had a good Thanksgiving, but sorry you’re sick. I hope you have a great week!
Oh on, I hope you feel better. There’s so many things going around right now. Your family Thanksgiving sounds wonderful. And You’re the second person that mentioned cheesecake. Now I’m craving sweets. LOL
Happy you had such a good Thanksgiving with family! That cheesecake sounds divine. I rarely eat sweets (no sweet tooth) but I make an exception for cheesecake. My sisters mother-in-law came to my house for T-giving and brought a boxed cheesecake with different flavored slices. I was in heaven. LOL Sorry to hear about the cold. Ugh. Hope you’re starting to feel better by now. No Black Friday shopping here. I stayed home and was a little hermit and loved it. 🙂
Oh man, the dog in the video that hijacks the sleigh 😀 that was great!
I’m glad Thanksgiving ws great, although too bad about your cold.
I’m glad you had such a good Thanksgiving! And that your mom made sure you could eat everything she had cooked 🙂 That’s something to be thankful for right there!
I hope your cold has left both you and the dog – it’s hard to get rid of colds in the winter.
Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
