Tanaan Kiitospaivan jalkeen Amerikka sekoaa shoppailusta. On nimittain Musta perjantai (Black Friday) ja tama paiva on omistettu shoppailuille. Kaupat on pullollaan hyvia tarjouksia ja ihmiset jonottavat tuntikaupalla saadakseen juuri sen tietyn halutun tavaran. Mina en sinne hulluuteen lahde. Kaikki shoppailut, jotka tanaan teen teen ne netin kautta. On ihan sulaa hulluutta lahtea siihen kaaokseen. Ja illalla uutisissa taas kerrotaan kuinka jotkut ihmiset saivat aikaan tappelun jonkun ihan alyttoman tavaran takia.
Paasemme tanaan nauttimaan ystavien seurasta. Iltapaivalla perhe autoon ja hurautetaan tuohon lahelle ystavaperheen luo. Meille on luvattu ihanaa kanapiirakkaa (chicken pot pie). Alusta alkaen itse tehtya. SLURPS! Lapset saavat leikkiseuraa mika onkin hauskaa. Oma olo on viela vahan niin ja nain mutta tungen itseni niin tayteen kaiken maailman droppia etta parjaan.
Kavin viikko sitten IKEAssa. Pitaa saada tuota alakerran sisaantuloaulaa laitettua toimivaksi. Eli eilen sitten kasasin hyllykon.
Vanhempi neiti laskee paivia siihen kun Momi (aitini) tulee Suomesta tanne. Mina toivoisin niita paivia olevan muutaman lisaa niin etta saisin taman huushollin luovan kaaoksen edes jonkinlaiseen jarjestykseen..... Aidin huone sentaan on mattoa vailla kunnossa (niin ja siita silitettavien pyykkien pinosta siella huoneessa en sano mitaan).
Marraskuun toinen paiva Meksikossa vietetaan kuolleiden paivaa. Olen saanut uuden ystavan tana syksyna ja han on sielta. Hanen miehensa (saksalainen) oli tyomatkaltaan tultua tuonut tuliaisiksi tallaisia sokerista tehtyja, koristeltuja paakalloja. Mekin saimme yhden, tosin nain jalkikateen. Arvatkaapas kuka on kinunnut etta se pitaa syoda HETI?!
After all the super early morning wake-ups these past few weeks it feels quite unbelievable that when I looked at the time in the morning it was 8.11am and both girls were still sound asleep upstairs. At that point I had been up for an hour. What is it that when you have a chance to sleep, you can't? So, I did enjoy fully my quiet morning, tea, I got to read e-mail in peace and have a peak at the blog world.
Today, after Thanksgiving, America goes crazy for shopping. It's Black Friday and today has been dedicated to shopping. All shops are full of great offers and people que hours and hours to get to these limited amount offers before they run out. I'm not going into that craziness. If I'm doing any shopping today it will be online. It would be complete madness to go out into that chaos. And in the evening in the news we'll hear how people have fought over some silly things.
We get to enjoy today company of friends. We've been promised some lovely comfort food: chicken pot pie. SLURP! The children will get to play together. My own feeling is what it is but I'll take whatever to keep me going during this afternoon.
A week ago I went to IKEA. I have to get the hallway coming from the garage into house to work somehow. Now it's everything but. So yesterday I put together a shelf.
The older one of our girls is counting days until Momi (my mother) comes from Finland. I wish there were few more days so that I could get this creative chaos of ours in some kind of order. :D Mum's room is pretty much ready. Just have to put a rug in there (and I'm not saying anything about the pile of clothing waiting to be ironed in this particular room). Novemeber 2nd Mexicans celebrate Day of the dead. I have made a new friend this fall and she's from Mexico. Her husband (German) was traveling in business to Mexico and brought some gifts. These skulls are made out of sugar. They were kind to give us one of these skulls, even though it came after the actual day when we returned from Ireland. Guess who has been wanting to eat it RIGHT NOW?!
