Do you want to know what I was most thankful for yesterday?
Not having to put a bra on my body until 2:30 pm.
I am sorry if this is too much information but it’s the truth and I like to keep things real around here.
I don’t care what size bra you wear, that thing is annoying, signifies structure (literally), obligations and needing to be somewhere.
And I needed a break from it.
I did my usual blog ->eat ->run ->shower->eat routine yesterday morning but instead of getting dressed at that point for the day, I indulged myself in the physical freedom of my favorite not-leaving-the-house-hope-no-one-rings-the-doorbell ensemble:
Oversized Butter sweatpants (is Butter still cool?), Islanders hooded sweatshirt and my hair up in a bun.
It was glorious. As were my cookies.
Baking oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies after a seven-mile run with a cup of coffee in one hand, the parade on the television and no bra on my body is now high on my list of favorite things to do.
Having my son home while I baked meant extra hands at the cooling rack.
Can we blame him?
My oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies were a hit as usual. I think I will share the recipe with you next week, okay?
I kept his hands out of the double crumb apple crisp. I picked out some of the apples though, for testing purposes obviously.
Serious crumbs.
I did not want to get dressed by the time 2:30 pm rolled around to leave for the city but I am glad that I did.
My aunt sets such a beautiful table that I don’t think my bra-less ensemble would have blended all that well.
I am forever reminded as to why I made sure that my aunt was in attendance for all meetings with the florist for my wedding.
Oh, the food? Yeah, that’s always amazing too.
I am noticing now that I missed the salads but you get the idea.
Who needs turkey when you have so many side dishes?
I had a few rounds that looked like the plate above.
And a few rounds of dessert from the table below…
One day I will learn to stop at one plate for dessert. Yesterday was not that day.
So it’s Black Friday. I am recalling my post last year when I said it’s Black Friday and of course I woke up hungry.
Just because we ate more than the usual last night does not mean we skip breakfast or do anything any different from the normal today when it comes to our eating.
Proceed as usual please. It was one day of eating, let it go. Thanks.
Will I be shopping today? Good question. The only thing of interest to me in my overloaded inbox of Black Friday sales which I started receiving on Tuesday is the possibility of a good deal on the Pure Barre website for more DVD’s.
Yes, I am extremely selfish and only thinking of myself at the moment instead of buying gifts for other people.
Are you shopping today?
How was your Thanksgiving? What did you eat?
What’s your favorite lounge-around outfit?
Whoa. Just Wow. That is an amazing spread. I want to dive in and roll around in it. Incredible, and so glad that you had an amazing day! I wore pajamas the majority of the morning, then switched to jeans, then back to pjs. I like a bra, but I’m all about the eleastic waist.

I don’t think you ever have to stop at one plate of dessert! I can’t wait for the oatmeal cookies. Oatmeal in cookies is my favorite addition!
I do not partake in the black friday madness at a big level. My mom and I will go to a few local stores today and maybe do some shopping online. Happy Shopping!

If I could I would never change out of sweatpants. I also hate wearing bras. I never wear them at home.
No shopping for me today! Im planning to do most of it online when I get back home.
We had Thanksgiving at Rob’s uncles house and there were about 50 people there, and lots of people brought dishes. There were alot of options so I tried a little bit of a lot of stuff! My favorites were all the potatoes…candied sweets, mashed, and some cheese kind.

I am not leaving the house today, unless I decide to go for a run, which means I intend to be braless all day today and eat Thanksgiving leftovers while doing nothing more pressing than catching up on my blog reading. 🙂
I love Black Friday shopping. Although, I refuse to go on Thanksgiving day still! Your dinner looks amazing. I am glad you had a good time!

I seriously couldn’t handle signing in to IG yesterday and seeing everyone post their delicious meals. But at the same time, the holiday mentality was kind of contagious, and I ended up feeling like it was Thanksgiving up here as well… minus the turkey dinner 😆 As for what I’ll be up to this weekend…. definitely not shopping, and hopefully managing to survive the snowpocalyse that hit us yesterday.

Totally agree that it’s business as usual in the eating dept on black Friday, although I did wind up eating leftovers with every meal, that’s part of the charm 🙂 I really don’t ever change out of lounge clothes. They have to be really stretchy or loose. Since I’m not given much of a reason to change this, I don’t! I also try to get away being bra-less most of the time. Not too difficult for me actually!

I’m with you on going braless! That thing comes off the moment I get home and doesn’t come back on until I leave again.
I online shopped yesterday 🙂 I got a few things for others and of course, a few little things for me!

It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! I’ve been enjoying the fact that I haven’t had to wear real pants most of the week. (Can I please just live in leggings?)

Now THAT is a huge dessert table! Man, I’m jealous! Haha. And the apple pie does look quite yummy. Apple pie is one of my favorites, but honestly?….I just love pie. Oh and can we just designate one day of each week as no-bra day? Braless day?

I love apple pie too, especially when crumb toppings are involved.
