Tis the season

New Yorkers were out shopping with a vengeance on Friday, many stores opening their doors at midnight, 4 am or 6 am to accomodate crazy shoppers who enjoy dealing with other crazed and pushy shoppers before the sun comes up. No thanks. I think I'm doing my shopping online and taking advantage of 'cyber monday'.

We spent a quiet Thanksgiving at the Arnabal's, great food and the travel was a breeeze (15 blocks in a cab because it was raining and we had the dessert), and then went back to work on Friday - losers I know, but it was very quiet at the office and we're saving the vacation days for New Years in Paris. Brian spent the weekend fighting with our iMac which we don't know how to use (iPhoto apparently loses pictures) and we got in some furniture shopping for our new dwelling on Sunday when it was quieter and the holiday shoppers were running out of steam. Target in Brooklyn looked like it had been raided. Brian's fiscal year is over on Friday (finally) even though there's this, and we've got 4 weeks of work to survive before Christmas in Wellesley and a getaway to belle Paris. And oh yeah... the realty company called, our "estimated" and "tentative" closing date is now in March. Whatever...

Enjoy the shopping and Thanksgiving leftovers.
