Thanksgiving Eve

On Thanksgiving eve, I got off work early, 3:00. I was so excited to have a few hours to myself that I ended up cleaning the house and planning our thanksgiving meal. Yes, I know that there are better things to do with 2-hours of free time than cleaning the house. After, I cleaned and planned our meal, I went to the gym for a workout. I ran on the treadmill for 2 miles plus a 5 min warm-up and cool-down. During this time, I realized why I have only run on a treadmill less than 5 times in my life. It is boring!!! After my little run, I started my strength building training program. I got about halfway through and decided that I was done. I finished all my core exercises and called it quits.

After the workout, I made my way over to Whole Foods. I wasn't sure what kind of mess I was walking into but I decided to take a chance. The parking lot wasn't that crazed so I figured the store must be okay, which it was. After getting a snack and a few unique items that I can only get at Whole Foods, I checked out and then preceded to meet a few friends out for drinks at the Kitchen. I had a great time catching up with friends.

For whatever reason at 11:00, I was still wide-awake so I went to the 'normal' grocery store to buy the rest of Thanksgiving dinner. I walked out of Safeway at 11:45pm. The nice thing about shopping that late was the store wasn't busy. It was amazing though that several families were shopping that late at night. Needless to say, after I got home and put away the groceries I hit the sack; I was very exhausted.
