Thanksgiving preparations

Here it is, Thanksgiving eve and we're getting ready to celebrate with family. Mary and kin as well as mom and dad are supposed to come in tomorrow. They youth convention is here this year and mom and dad are coming with them. Have the next two days off from work and that means another four day weekend.

Haven't been to the movies in awhile so i don't have any reviews to report. Maybe next weekend because this one will be full. Oh, i just heard today that Nickelback's gonna be in town in April. Tickets go on sale next Frida. Can't wait, i'm there....

Still trying to finish reading the most recent book--John Grisham's The Partner. It's about this lawyer who fakes his own death and runs off with 90 millions dollars from the firm he works for. They catch him since the beginning of the book and i guess the whole book is about what happens afterwards. I'm halfway through so we'll see...

Am i going to the big sales this weekend? Hell, no, i'm not getting up at dawn just to save a few bucks...let someone else stimulate the economy. This girl's taking the day off.

Last night was the finale of Dancing with the Stars and Brooke Burke won. Stopped watching it ages ago because quite frankly, i have better things to watch...or do.....on mondays i watch Heroes and Tuesday i watch House and Fringe. Some of the other shows are on winter break and some like Smallville and Supernatural won't be back until Jan 15.

Gotta go, things to do...

Countdown to Thanksgiving

It is officially a week and a half before Thanksgiving. Mary and her family as well as mom and dad are coming over and i've got a lot of planning to do. Not really, but i need to plan for more that joel and i. The GLAD youth convention is gonna be here this year so they were gonna be in town anyways so they decided to ask mom and dad to come. We're probably gonna go to the Thursday night service. Gotta work Friday, so.....Got the day after Christmas home but not the day after Thanksgiving off. Gotta work with what you've got.

Was feeling sick so i didn't go to work friday and we've been hibernating this weekend so we didn't do much. joel came down with the flu so we were both sick this week/weekend but it's going a lot better now.

Finally mailed out my assignment, it was only a week late so i'm waiting to hear from ernest go i can continue w/the article, depending on what he tells me to do.

Proud to be an American

Howdy, folks, it's the day after the election and i am giddy as can me. Yesterday we elected our nation's first African American president. How's that one for history making? I guess in the future everyone will remember where they were when they heard the news. Me? I was watching the results at home. I am so excited about this. Yeah, no one is perfect but one can only hope. It'll take a long time before we are out of this hole but we'll wait and see. Watched the speeches afterwards and i have to admit that Mccain's was graceful. Except when the audience booed when he mentioned that he called Obama to congratulate him. That was tacky. Come on, it's not like it was a junior high student council elections. Grow up. It's been awhile since i actually looked forward to presidential speech. Not since Clinton. How refreshing. There is still hope for minorities in this country. God bless America and God bless Obama.

November Already?

Goodness gracious, where did the month go. Better yet, where did the year go?

Halloween has come and gone and it was a quiet occassion. We couldn't wear costumes to work, so....we didn't had out candy this year because we live in an older neighborhood and the one time we tried it there weren't many takers. We never got around to decorating outside either. It's no big deal anyways. But you know me, i gave out candy bags at work to only a select few.

So, the big day is Tuesday. Election day that is, regardless of who wins we're in for a big circus ahead. There won't be any regular tv coverage that day because of all the election coverage. This one will be one for the history books because we will either get an african american president or a woman vice president. How will get my vote? Obama. Enough said, let's move on.

Went shopping this morning, i actually got a couple of pairs of jeans and a shirt. About time too. Bought the tickets to Cats for next month. It's on the 27th of December, I can't wait. End the ear off with a bang. Maybe today I'll make some more cupcakes or even the brownies. MMM, can't wait, although i won't eat them all because, well, i can't. Time to start making holiday plans. Supposedly mary's gonna be in town for thanksgiving and we're having dinner here. That i gotta see. christmas who knows because i might not get the day after christmas off at work. Don't get me started about that. i do have to start making my shopping list for this year. I know, last year i swore i'd do my shopping throughtout the year but who keeps their promises anyways.

my assignment is a week overdue and i still need the query letter so...hasta la vista.
