Did you get up and go shopping today?  I didn’t!  Because there is no such thing as Black Friday when you live in Germany.  Well, at the BX there is, but trust me…the BX is nothing special.  They don’t have anything good, ever, and the prices aren’t as fab as they like us to think they are, AND…when there are exactly two places for Americans to do their American shopping at in a 20 mile radius, you can imagine how busy it gets, especially on today.

Nope, I actually didn’t do any shopping today, because remember, my family doesn’t do gifts anymore, and the girls want cash to buy their own clothes, so: easy.  Instead I watched movies and did girl stuff with the girls.  John’s leaving tonight to go snowboarding in Austria with Matt; he’ll be back later tomorrow night.  And that right there is the one good thing about living in Europe–randomly driving to Austria for a day-long snowboarding trip.  Unless you’re me, and you don’t like cold, snow, winter sports, or spontaneous bus rides with strangers.  Although, I will say…I don’t like those things a lot less than I used to and right here is where I cross the line with my adoration of Zoloft.

Wait.  One more thing, but I’ll tie it into the holiday.  I have to tell you that this year the one thing I’m overwhelmingly grateful for is that daily half of a yellow pill, because even John will tell you that I am much, much better for it.  OKAY AND NOW I’M DONE.

We had leftovers for lunch today, and pie for dinner, but I have been craving a ham sandwich for the last 45 minutes so I think I’m gonna go make one.

Oh, also, I have my first batch of sourdough starter just waiting to be made into a tasty treat.  Tomorrow is the big day.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Tschuss!!

PS only two more days of this THANK YOU BABY JESUS.
