i am thankful for black friday.

while i am usually very thankful for black friday discounts and left over thanksgiving turkey, this year i am thankful for airline miles because i'm using mine to visit my dear friend jacqueline in hawaii! by the time you read this, i will be up, up, and away! off to visit jacqueline and her sweet daughter, amelia, who was born just this past weekend. i am excited to see my friend and my new 'niece.' to those of you on the main land -- happy shopping!

here i am the day before thanksgiving, braving the wilds of Aldi!
