Saturday after Thanksgiving

Just sitting back, relaxing, watching Iron Man. Mary and family just left a few minutes ago and the house is peaceful once again.

Thanksgiving around here was just another day. I say you should be thankful everyday, not just once a year. but it is what it is.

Stayed away from the stores for Black Friday. To me it's just not worth the hassle especially since i have a low tolerance for idiots out there.

Saw Faster yesterday, Dwayne Johnson's new movie. It was pretty good, better than Skyline for sure. It was a little violent because he was out to kill those responsible for killing his brother but i've seen more violent movies before, so...Eh!

Thanksgiving week

Whew! Been super busy so i haven't blogged in awhile. This is a short week because of Thanksgiving on Thursday and we have Thursday and Friday off. It's a good thing cuz we're running low on work. They're having issues, so....

Mary and company will be in town this week for the youth convention. This is the last year that they'll be under GLAD because they're creating a new section for south texas. Anyways, they'll probably stop by to say hi. We're not cooking this year, so we'll probably just go out for Thanksgiving dinner.

I've done most of my Christmas shopping already. More than half done. Might go to the valley for Christmas, but we'll see, we don't like planning on stuff because you never know, stuff happens.

Hey, I'm super psyched that i go tickets for Bon Jovi but not until March. The wait is going to kill me but at least i have something to look forward to. Just consider it an early anniversary present from Joel since he's not going. Since after the last concert we went to (Nickleback) his ears were still ringing a week after, he swore he'd never go to another one again. It's a good thing cuz this one sent me back $127.50 but it's one of those once in a lifetime things since the last time they were in San Antonio it was back in the eighties. Going with Sylvia, so that's good too.

Went to see Skyline last weekend===OMG i should have asked for my money back and I don't say that too often. IT SUCKED!! Not only was there no story, no plot, but the acting was so bad, you couldn't really get into the movie because it was obvious they were just a bunch of actors saying their lines. I almost walked out,it was that bad. I'm a big sci-fi fan but not even i could fathom seeing this bomb again.

So we rented three movies this weekend: Nine, The Vampire's Assistant and Robin Hood. In that order they were: Bad, So-So, and pretty good. I thought Nine was gonna be better because it's a musical but i guess i was sadly mistaken.

November creeping up

Hello November. Halloween has come and gone and we're officially into the holiday season. Time to do some Christmas shopping. But first, I'd like to share some Halloween pictures.
Made some more cupcakes this weekend. Was planning on making them Friday to take to work, but they pissed me off and thought, screw them, so i made them for us and the neighbors.

Carved my first pumpkin this year. It was an interesting experience. I even toasted the seeds to have as a snack later. It worked out pretty good. Although being the novice that i am, i thought i'd have some pulp to cook later, but it turns out that besides the seeds, they're basically hollow. Go figure. Had fun anyways. We put a candle inside and here it is in the dark. Looks cool, huh?

We wanted to play around with it, so we put it next to the "graves" me made by the front door and thought it looked nice so i snapped a picture.

We had fun last night, even though i ended up not dressing up as a witch like i wanted. I wasn't feeling too good, my back was still bothering me and so was my stomach, so......we did end up giving out candy and we had more trick or treaters than we expected, but not too many. Have some candy left over, which is good.

Didn't go to work today cause i was feeling sick but i feel a little bit better now. Going to do some online christmas shopping later and do some chores and stuff.
