The Day After

Good morning, Amanda.

Hope you had a good day yesterday, as I did. I wish I had driven myself and packed an overnight bag (my cousin H and his wife D and their kids were expecting me to stay, as I used to in years passed) but instead I carpooled with my parents. Oh well. Instead of hanging out with turkey leftovers and a Bloody Mary at their house this morning, I have a little hooch in my coffee and am scheming what to create in my kitchen today while avoiding Black Friday shopping crowds.

I think I'm going to do mushroom crescent roll pizzas (I don't have any pizza dough, but do have Pillsbury crescent rolls in the fridge that I need to use) and later make some shrimp fra diavolo. My only bummer is I don't have any wine, so I will need to leave the house, and my local wine shop is in a Stop and Shop plaza, so there goes avoiding the crowds. I'm just not willing skip the wine with shrimp fra diavolo.

I also need to get my place in better order. I loaded my bookshelves yesterday so now I have empty boxes around and some debris now that needs cleaning (so I can get photo ready!). I guess the good news is I still have a whole weekend after today. It's only Friday! Yay.

Honestly, though, I wish today I were hanging out with W. He had a bad day yesterday and I miss him. Since we don't have plans to see each other for another 2 weeks, I'll be missing him for a while.

Hope all is well with you.

Love, Barb
