cblj_backupI survived Black Friday!
I think there's actually a Black Friday lull. All the real dangerous action happens at like, three in the morning when the stores open, and then there's a dead zone RIGHT WHEN I SHOWED UP from about 8am to 11 am. Because the stores were pretty much dead; Target had more store attendants than store attendance. GET IT, STORE ATTENDANCE. :D
Anyway, R actually picked me up from downtown after I was done shopping, which was nice, and we stopped by my place to get a sack of potatoes and an immersion blender. Don't all the best stories start that way?
So now we're making soup with a fire in the fireplace and Eddie Izzard on Netflix on R's giant television, with the promise of Wii Wheel (WIIHEEL) in the near future. R's friend, the other Sam, is making stuffing like a fucking pro. And we are drinking manhattans, apparently the best manhattans in Chicago according to R. I'm willing to believe it.
Trying to explain an immersion blender to R is an exercise in hilarity. No, it's for THESE potatoes, but not ONLY for potatoes. That's what the potato peeler was for. Yes, I know it looks like a sex toy, but do not use it as one. Trust me.
My blog tour stops for no soup! I'm at Joyfully Jay today, talking about pro-publishing for the first time.
