Hey everyone! Thank you so much for all of the lovely compliments on our Thanksgiving meal 
We had a good night with just the two of us, and the delicious (and healthy!) eats were just a bonus 
Hope you had a wonderful Black Friday Call me crazy, but it’s one of my favorite holidays of the year. I just love the hustle and bustle…and everything shopping related 
I didn’t do it justice like I did last year in Tucson, but I did wake up at 5:00am to tackle some sales and get in a few fist fights jk, of course.
So, I don’t have much for you guys today:
- No recipes (they’re in a notebook in my suitcase- we just got to Orlando and I doubt I’ll have time to decipher my chicken scratch until Monday)
-Hardly any food pics (breakfast consisted of Ezekiel stuffing out of the Tupperware, covered in cranberry sauce)
-No fitness (Shopping has been my only workout today)
But here’s what I got:
- Some shenanigans
Tonight, after dropping Viesa off at the pet hotel, we came to my aunt’s house, picked up my aunt and cousin, and went glow-in-the-dark putt-putt golfing.
In case you didn’t know, the pilot and I take miniature golf very seriously.
It was such a blasty Happy Gilmore was frequently quoted and it was a fun and random thing to do on a Friday night
For dinner, the pilot and my cousin had Steak and Shake… while I had the opposite: a homemade salad beast
It had organic greens, Italian eggplant, orange bell pepper, shallot, tomato and organic Italian herb dressing.
Pretty freaking amazing
The plan for today is:
- Zumbathon! TWO HOURS of Zumba! Be still my heart
- Find and ugly Christmas sweater for the pilot (I lost the bid on eBay for one I had found for him)
- Outlet malls
- Grilling with the familia
See ya tonight!
xoxo,
Gina
I also love the hustle and bustle – I love it for the next 30 days!
Good luck with the shopping…second hand stores are the way to go or ugly Christmas sweaters. You will have to post a pic when you find one; they are always good for a laugh
Looks like a good salad, Mini putt putt is fun like that. We have one in our local mall!
What a great looking salad!! Enjoy your day:)
Ditto on secondhand stores, you will find one in no time!
UGLY Christmas sweaters are soooo fun! and surprisingly hard to find! Looks like you and your pilot had a blast mini-golfing…who won?!
hope you continue having a great weekend!!
I’m so happy you get to share this holiday with your pilot AND family!
Haha I totally thought you were clenching a carrot in that picture!
Love that photo of you two
Can’t believe I’ve never even HEARD of glow-in-the-dark mini golfing… awesome!
Haha – Happy Gilmore quote-age, yet another reason I adore you and the Pilot!
2nd hand stores are gold minds for ugly Christmas sweaters!
Glow in the dark putt putt! haha that’s awesome. Have a good time in Orlando:)
Yall crack me up with your serious faces; you’re obviously professionals! Here’s hoping you put your professional shopping skills to good use today too! Have a great time!
oh, i will
thank you!
you and the pilot are too cute with all your faces! never ceases to make me smile when i read the blog!
Have fun at Zumba!
shut up… glow in the dark putt putt?!?!? that’s freaking awesome!
I haven’t been put-put golfing in FOREVER!!! It looks like tons-o-funs!!
And the salade looks magnifique aussi 
raw eggplant? never try that before! interesting!
I’m really tired right now, and I misread your “Happy Gilmore was frequently quoted” as “Gilmore Girls was frequently quoted.” I thought, Hmmm…that’s interesting!
LOL
Are you guys going to an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” party? My brother went to one a few years ago and the pictures were hilarious!!!
yes, that’s the theme for the squadron christmas party this year- i’m excited
At the mall by my house, there was a STABBING over a tv! nooo joke
Black Friday is one of my favorites too! I’m with you on loving the hussle and bussle!
probs the coolest thing ever…glow in the dark mini golf
I also have been going to cafe 118 from the time they opened. =)Everything there is AMAZING!! I also had the Mexican salad once before. The Queso isnt a sauce, its a “pramesan cheese” that replicates the taste of Queso. I wouldnt really call the salad gross, just not for you? =)Next time if you choose to give it a try, tell them to go heavy on the veggies. They are really cool about that kind of stuff! Great following your blog! Glad you got a taste of what we all love as well! p.s. The smores is my fav. dessert!
