It’s Tuesday, so it’s taken me forever to blog about my Thanksgiving and black Friday. I’m still trying to catch up on sleep from the weekend, and I think I can finally start to feel my feet again! We got back from New York late Sunday night. It was close to a 10 hour drive back! Traffic was just crazy! Saturday we walked over 250 blocks, which I think Marcus said was about 14 miles. I almost didn’t make it back to the apartment, my legs and feet hurt so bad! Next time, we take a cab back!
The day before that,(Friday) I think I got a few hours of sleep before driving up to NYC. Crystal blogged about our black friday experience, so I wont re-write what she wrote. What she didn’t put, was that by the time the manager let a hand full of us in early, I had to pee so bad, that I knew before he opened the door that I may not make it to the camera without peeing in my pants! So… the doors opened and only me, Crystal and a few guys behind us were let in. I’d say we had a good 2 minute head start on the rest of the crowd. We were all headed to the back middle of the store towards electronics. Mostly everyone took the path that went straight there, but since I was skipping and trying to keep up without wetting myself, I cut thru the shoe section which probably delayed me more then saved me time. I heard Crystal yell out, “Robyn, where’d you go!” Which made me laugh a little… laughing is not my friend when I have to pee…. And then there was a guy who also cut thru a section in the store who yelled out, “AHHHH!!! I’m LOST!!! Where am I!?!?!?” Now, THAT was hialrious!!!! I stopped for a second to make sure that I could make it to the camera or if I should go back tot he bathrooms. Of course I kept going to the camera! I wasn’t about to loose out on getting the 1 thing I stood in line for 7 hours for! Anyways, I made it to the bathroom just in time! I swear ever since having kids, I can’t hold my bladder like I used to!
And then before THAT, we hosted a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with several family and friends! 20 people showed up and I think at 1 point most of those 20 people were sitting somewhere in my living room and kitchen! There were people on the couch, floor, in chairs that were randomly placed in the room, on the stairs, and at the train table. The kids sat at the kitchen table. Not the Thanksgiving that I am used to, but it was nice to have everyone together! We’re still eating Turkey over here… Although tonight we decided last minute to just get out. We found a pizza place, so we walked in and ordered… OMG, the bill (for pizza) was close to $50!!! We wont be eating there again anytime soon!
