Thanksgiving wrap up……

So Thanksgiving this year was a unique one. My thanksgiving started on Wednesday with my grandmother’s funeral. The funeral was a nice small one. The family got together for what would be my first of 3 Thanksgivings for this year. It was nice to see the family together again.

I did get to do a little shopping after the family time. I like to go to those military surplus stores and see what I can find. Well I found 2 matching bags that would work great for my bike. I am slowly working on turning my new mountain bike into a commuter/mountain bike. I plan on making this bike look like a WWII military jeep. I have this idea in my head about how I want to do it. The bags that I got are going to be the rear panniers, but one problem…….. the clips on the bag do not fit on the rear rack. I’m going to find a way to make it work. I will eventually repaint the bike the flat green.

So Thursday started of on a good foot. I had a full class and burned over 1,000 calories. After coming home and cleaning up I headed to turkey eating #2. I once again ate too much and did what I told my fellow “Turkey burners” I would do, eat 3 pieces of desert. After everyone finished eating the cold front came in. It dropped from around 80 to 60 in about an hour. Here I was in shorts and a t-shirt. I decided that I needed to head home to get some warmer cloths on and so I could go spend Thanksgiving #3 with my friends. I was still full from lunch but I still ate a little, how could I resist pot roast?? My friends asked me if I wanted to join them for Black Friday shopping but I thought I would be better off sleeping in.
