Black Friday

Yesterday we made it to Breck by 3. Brook’s parents house, where she grew up, is just outside of town on the way to Fairplay. We were first to arrive with Ashley and her husband and son a few minutes behind us. Earlier as I said, Lori made a full blown turkey dinner here at home. I told her how great it looked and she then told me she made mashed potato’s and stuffing too. Not believing her, I said, “you made stuffing”? To which she replied, and I quote, “I don’t fuck around man!” Now you had to be here to appreciate this as this was so funny for a number of reasons, first Lori doesn’t really swear and second, the tone in which she said it along with her body expression was so mater of fact, like, hey I know what I’m doing. In any case, we both laughed for about five minutes at her comment.

We brought the wine along with a bottle of 2006 Dom Perignon champagne I ended up with from an account. This was some really good vintage champagne that would go for $1000 or more in a good restaurant. The girls enjoyed it and it was a nice treat for them on turkey day. The afternoon went quick and by 6 or so we were eating steak and crab, along with Lori’s french potato’s and green beans and more. It was a really good meal. We had two four year old’s and one 2 year old running around entertaining us the whole time. Ashley lost her phone a few minutes after they arrived and we all spent what seemed like hours looking for it. It was so weird as it was nowhere to be found. We still don’t know what happened to it. After dinner we played the card game that I think was called Cards Against Humanity. It was pretty funny and the boys played along with us. It was so funny as the boys knew some of the more “adult” words and phrasings, that some of the adults didn’t know! If you’ve ever played it, you know what I mean. At one point when Lori was reading a card, she had the word catapults to read but what she said was capoultus. We’re still not sure what this word means but it was really funny. In fairness the girls had a few glasses (or bottles) of wine but they weren’t drunk, it was just funny.

In 30 minutes Jag and I are off to practice. I’ll pick him up at 10 and then rush home so he can quickly shower before we head to Denver. As I said, we’re dropping Ty at his friend Ben’s house and then heading to get Jag a haircut. I’m sure we’ll also check a store or two to see what deals they’re offering as hopefully there’s some crazy deals. Retail stores are freaking out as Amazon is taking over Christmas sales. We’ve done most of our shopping on line too, it’s only with clothes that we like to see them in person. We should be back up the hill by dinner.

Lori’s office is closed which is rare and I work sort of all the time but my office is closed too. I’d better get moving so I can make sure Jag is up and get ready to take him to basketball. Hope everyone is well, take care and have a great day and weekend. God Bless.
