"Thanksgiving came and went just like that. Like all holidays there is so much hype and work to do leading up to it that the actual day itself seems to pass by so quickly! I'm sure the Christmas craziness is about to begin so it was good to take a relaxing weekend before that hits!  \\nThese last few days after Thanksgiving have been pretty slow paced. We spent Friday at our house just taking care of a few things that needed to be done here. We ventured out to BJ's Wholesale Club to restock a few essentials and I was bracing myself for Black Friday madness but it was surprisingly calm in there! I had to attend a wake that night so I went to Boston and when I got home we went out to a nice dinner. On Saturday morning we drive to the Cape to see my family and two of my girfriends who recently had babies. It was great to spend the morning with the girls and the rest of the day at my parents house. We had a nice dinner there, followed by Sunday morning breakfast but then we had to head back home because there was work that needed to be done after taking a few days off. We ate a simple grilled cheese lunch and a nice easy steak dinner to wrap up the long weekend. I guess I have to be ready for Christmas since there is nothing in between now and then! I looked at my calendar and saw that every weekend in December has an event booked on it which means things are certainly going to be busy but that's the fun of the holiday season - I'll just have to be smart during the week so I can fully enjoy those weekends!  \\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e900d3276fe232948b0e]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0716-88472.html)\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/57d8e901f71ce8751f6b70b1]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0717-88473.html)\\n\\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e90124fe9dae32833cc7]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0725-88474.html)\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/57d8e90250778cef321a6d90]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0728-88475.html)\\n\\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e9034b76f0f832a102a7]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/1126lunch1-88506.html)\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/57d8e903d3276fe232948b0f]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/1126lunch2-88523.html)\\n\\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e90424fe9dae32833cca]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/1126din1-88509.html)\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/57d8e90450778cef321a6d91]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/1126din2-88524.html)\\n\\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e90524fe9dae32833ccb]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0743-88514.html)\\n\\n![[#image: /photos/57d8e90646d0cb351c8c7492]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2008/11/IMG_0750-1267.html)\\n\\n![+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8e90624fe9dae32833ccc]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/11/IMG_0753-88529.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
