"As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." 

I totally forgot to tell you all something. On Thursday, C shared something from y childhood with me. One of the funniest moments of television. The WKRP turkey episode. Let me tell you, 45 years later, it still holds up. 

We had a fantastic day yesterday. I got up early and went grocery shopping. Came back, woke C up and we were in the car by 7:45. We got to Bronner's at 8:58 and there was a line already. Not horrible amounts of people, but definitely a line. C couldn't believe it. I told her just wait until we leave what it's like. We walked around, found some nice ornaments, got a new wreath for the front door, and had a fun time. She was just floored by the people, the cheesiness of it all, and by watching how excited I got. After Bronner's we went to Zhender's, got some stuff from the bakery and had chicken lunch. When we walked in, the upstairs was empty. But when we left, they were waiting 100 deep for chicken. Again she couldn't believe it. We then went to the Cheese Haus. Got some cheeses and headed back to the truck. As we were leaving I showed her the parking lot for Bronner's. Packed. Just packed. Thousands more people than when we went in. The road coming into town which was empty for us was stopped traffic. She appreciated now me getting her there early and I appreciated a partner who didn't fight me to achieve that goal.

We got home around 1 and I took a nap. After we started setting up the tree. I brought up selective Xmas items. There is a little bit out, but not insane amounts. We're not even going to put all the ornaments on. Again, selective. We had leftovers for dinner, played some games, went to bed.

The coolest thing we did yesterday was decide on NYE. On the way up we saw a billboard for 80's night NYE at some casino. I told C I would like to do something together this year since last year was a bust. She agreed and we looked up some stuff while driving. We decided we're going to Grand Rapids, staying at the big cool Hilton, and going to their party. Two ballrooms full of DJs and parties. We get admission, parking, and a room as a package. Now we just need to find something to wear.

Our friend is coming over today. We're going to help her shoot some YouTube videos and then make pizza. I made the dough last night and it's rising slowly. My five days off are at an end, but I feel rejuvenated and better than I have in a while.
