oh fabulous, i'm glad you're doing this too! are you going to a BND celebration? i'm hoping to be able to ride my bike to the one here so i can participate in the anti-capitalist bike ride, but right now there's snow and ice on the ground (which my old cruiser has trouble with), and it's supposed to be unpleasantly cold on friday. i like your black friday alternative ideas!
ReplyDeleteI did not participate in any events for the day, no. I decided to laze around. I started my first every sock monkey, made pizza, hunted for chanterelles, and played Balderdash with friends. It was perfect.
ReplyDeleteaww cool! you should post a pic of your monkey when it's finished, i'd love to see it! i'm making a few of those right now too--such good xmas gifts.
