So what did you do on Black Friday? Did you head for the mall?
I was amused on Newshour when they interviewed some guy from Yahoo Finance (he has a name -- Daniel Gross -- it's just that he doesn't mean anything to me, so I will continue to refer to him as "some guy") who said that the media is pretty much the only entity (except those idiots camped out in tents in the sleet and rain, waiting for the doors to open, I suppose) that gets at all excited about Black Friday.
As for me, I never left the house. I made turkey soup stock, I cooked a nice meal, I learned that cinnamon in a slaw vinaigrette tastes horrible and bitter (won't do that again), I knitted (Ouch, my forearms and wrists are killing me, so I've had to slow down on the knitting a bit. Crap.), I watched my new Eddie Izzard DVD.
I also listed a couple more yarny things on eBay:
and Koigu (Golds, Browns, Grey)
and don't forget the Rowan Magpie which was listed the other day, with a special deal for my blog readers, as mentioned here.
I made turkey soup stock, too. I hope the wrists and forearms are better before you wake up today.

No turkey stock for me - we went to relatives' for the feast, so we have no leftovers.
Hope you're healing quickly! Are you picking or throwing?

How was the DVD??? I'm in a total Eddie mood this weekend.

I was out and about yesterday, but the people at Harvard Square were like nothing compared to the reported Black Friday crowds. I wondered around in peace and relative quiet for most of the morning before the shop I showed up for opened at noon. Tattoo and piercing shops are exempt from the craziness of Black Friday.

I always feel like I am wasting the turkey carcass but I just don't like turkey stock. Which Eddie Izzard DVD was it??

Ya know, I looked at the ads on Thursday and there wasn't a single thing on sale that I wanted or needed. Although, I did buy a pattern online, but that's totally different. ;^)
