Use up your leftovers to make this easy Turkey Pie recipe!
I want my own Elf on the Shelf (maybe not quite this big though)!
Happy Friday! How was your Thanksgiving?
Unfortunately, I was sick. I spent most of the day curled up on my couch. I had to enjoy the day vicariously through my husband, who went to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (those are his photos below) and enjoyed some delicious meals cooked by our friends in Brooklyn.
Are you heading out to do some Black Friday shopping today?
I've done that a few times, but I really don't like dealing with the chaos, especially since I can find plenty of great deals online. I'd much prefer to shop in my pajamas and enjoy leftovers than elbow my way through a crowd (especially in my current sickly state)!

Being sick when there is fun stuff to do is worse than being sick any other time! Love all the links to sales. I need to get more Christmas shopping done soon. Hopefully this motivates me. Also, thanks for the mention.
You're welcome, Anne! I think I might actually make it out of the house today. I'm finally starting to feel a little better. Cross your fingers;)
