    Woot for a 3 day work week and a 4 day weekend! Love these!

    We are going to FI's aunts house in Flint for Thanksgiving, and then I plan on relaxing and spending quality time with FI the rest of the weekend since he's been gone for over a week now Cry

    We are staying home.  Going to a brunch in the morning just me and my FI which I love.  Then in the afternoon we are stopping by a random relative's house. 

    Then Friday morning I might stop at Best Buy on my way into work to buy a couple of Christmas gifts for my FI.  I haven;t figured out if I am that brave yet or not....

    Ooh Stebbe if you go to Best Buy, I give you credit. That's one store I will NOT do on Black Friday. We drive past one on our way to FI's relatives' houses for Thanksgiving. We usually are going past it around noon or so on Thanksgiving day and there are already people lined up outside for the Black Friday sales. I don't know that I've seen a deal good enough to get me to sit outside on the concrete for nearly 24 hours at the end of November in Michigan. Good luck to you! :)

    My FI wants an Ipod Touch and both Best Buy and Toys R Us have them so you get a gift card for $30 at BB and $50 at TRU when you buy it.  If I had to pick which store would be more sane I was thinking Best Buy.... I may go to neither lol.

    We are hosting this year so I'll actually be more stressed than if I had to travel. I'm not looking forward to FMIL being at my house when I get home from work Wednesday.

    My FI works at Best Buy and he hates working black friday but thankfully he doesn't have to work until 10am.

    I saw on a commercial last night that Old Navy is opening at 3am! That's insane! I mean I guess I could just go there right from the bar then huh? lol

    Well I wanted to volunteer for Thanksgiving since FI has the day off - usually he has to work! So that's our first plan but if that doesn't pan out then my mom is having Thanksgiving for the family.

    We are going up to our home town (about 2 hours north).  Then we'll hit his moms for brunch and my grandparents for dinner...then I get to relax the rest of the weekend and work on wedding related stuff with my mom and MOH around to help!

    We're staying in town.  We live in Livonia and we're going to family in Bloomfield Hills and Trenton -- so lots of shuttling around.  And then I am getting shopping done on Friday and Saturday!

    Ummm...Kim...FLINT?!  I kind of live there you know.  LOL!

    Brian worked at the Best Buy in Flint (the one you drive past) for 6.5 years on Geek Squad and he said Black Fridays are INSANE!  He has nightmares of being stuck in the Computer/Geek Squad  area with people surrounding him, grabbing at stuff.  Poor guy!

    Our plan is to go to my parent's house for pizza with mom, dad, Ryan (my brother), and Kristy (my SIL).  I can't wait.  I wasn't looking forward to dinner with MIL...I had enough of her this weekend.

    Wednesday we're having Thanksgiving with my family in Northville. Thursday will consist of recovering from the biggest bar night of the year and then dinner at FILs in Farmington Hills. Nice and local!

    Staying in Houston!  We have family that drove down this past weekend and are staying until Friday.  I'm cooking for the first time Thanksgiving dinner and I'm really nervous.  I thought my FSIL would help, but I just found out that she doesn't cook....GREAT!!

    My parents always host Thanksgiving dinner for my grandma and us (my parents and sister). FI and I might end up going to his parents house too, never know what their plans are until like the day before, so who knows. I will also be one of the crazies out on Black Friday, so I just stick around the house on Thursday and eat up then plan my attack on Westland Mall :)

    3 day work week for me and no classes - wahoo!

    All I have planned is to relax this week and enjoy the yummy food on Thanksgiving. We are going to my mom's and my grandfather, who lives in TN and is turning 93 in January, will be there. Yay!
