We got a good amount of snow from our storm, but it wasn’t terrible. A bit wet and heavy – more like a spring snow. Then it was a little warmer and some of it melted so even the sidewalks are mostly clear now. Everyone seems to be more with it as far as shoveling goes early in the season.

I wanted to take Saturday afternoon and just get out. Both of us are working pretty much 7 days a week to get through the busy season. We are doing a show next Saturday, so I figured it was important to take off most of the day this Saturday before holiday craziness set in.

We ended up going down to Saratoga and going to the mall. Probably my last visit to a mall before Christmas LOL! I avoid the mall like the plague for the rest of the year. Maybe on a Monday or Tuesday evening, but otherwise it is local or online shopping for me (Etsy and Amazon Handmade!!).

We picked up a cupcake snack at the Healthy Living Market. Their bakery is really, really good and the cupcakes are a nice small treat rather than a gut bomb like we normally get during riding season:

This was a maple apple cupcake. I think it was gluten free, too. Very moist and yummy.

Old Navy was having a 50% off sale, and I actually found a couple of pairs of jeans that fit! I buy the short and curvy, which still end up being a bit long, but no waist gap – my biggest problem with jeans.

Then I wanted to stop at one of the local garden centers as they had a Christmas sale and it’s fun just looking at their display:

Inside was a kitty. I always find the kitties. He wanted nothing to do with me LOL

He was missing half his tail and part of an ear. Seems like he had a hard life at some point, but now he lives in the greenhouse.

It’s fun wandering through all the displays.

Hewitt’s is where we bought our artificial tree a couple years ago and we are still really happy with it.

We didn’t end up getting anything, but it sure felt like Christmas! Especially with the snow that just came down.

Dinner was takeout. I can’t remember the last time we got takeout. Usually we just eat out 😀  The Thai place that is 1/4 mile from our house was having a 30% off meal deal for their 6th anniversary, so that sealed the deal. They were sooooo busy, too.

I got the massaman curry, which is pretty much my favorite dish from there:

I got beef for the protein this time. There was plenty left for lunch the next day, too! I loves me some curry.

Sunday has been doing a lot of work. At least I can bring a lot of it upstairs and watch some football while working.  I also checked in on Mr. Boo while my folks were away.

*boop*

Short week coming up! Any of you Black Friday shoppers?
