Thanksagiving

So turkey day has come and gone. Mom cooked the bird this year, she and I made some sides..all in all making it pretty easy work this year. We finally finished all the dishes around 3pm today. Thank goodness for double sinks! I busted out the silver and we used quite a bit of it. Why not right?

The Christmas tree is up..well, kinda. I mean it is UP, it has lights and tinsel on it but we've not done anything else to it yet. Makenna announces it every time she walks in the sitting room, as if it is the president. Ladies and gentlemen..the Christmas tree...okay she doesn't say it like that. She just squeals with joy and screeches "Chriptmas tree!", as if she isn't sure between each visit whether or not she will see it again.

I was brave and did venture out today, it didn't seem any worse that a weekend when we have a home football game. I made a run to Sallys to get some nail stuff that I really don't need..Brent was nice enough to entertain my thought that I had a $5 coupon off $20...ummm $37 later...yadayadayada. After spending too much at Sallys I went to the mall because I neeeeeded to look at one item for a special 6'2 someone and got a decent deal. The mall was busy but not much busier than a normal weekend w/football visitors. Came home..ate more leftovers..I'll tell ya it took all I had not to stop at the new Chicago pizza place by the mall though.
(Insert pause here while I google their menu.) ABORT ABORT ABORT, close the window! It's too late, now I want pizza. FYI, they are open til 2am (thinking to myself..everyone else is sleeping, I'm awake...I cooould just take the car and..ABORT ABORT ABORT!)

Ok so after reading their menu I see that they have a guacamole burger. WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING! Really..this isn't the first guacamole burger I've seen advertised, who thought that would be a good idea..really. I like guac, I like burgers..but like candy corn I don't like them together! And yes I realize candy corn doesn't..well it probably has corn syrup in it..ha, ok so my point stands then! Guacamole burger..NO..candy corn..NO.

Ok enough random blogging..I figured I'd give ya something..who ever still reads this..besides me.

Thanksgiving Eve

To celebrate the eve before the holiday..new photos are up on our shutterfly site. If you've forgotten how to get there b/c I've been sucking lately at keeping photos updated..follow the photo link on the right hand side..here ------------------------------>

Also I've uploaded a video..and no I can't rotate it..I really need to remember that when I'm recording, sorry, I take blame for your sore neck! When it uploads I'll put it down here :

Been some time...

So it's been a while since I've last blogged. I'm done taking my antibiotics for my step and feel much much better. I wouldn't recommend getting strep twice in one year, it sucks! The worst part is my tonsils get HUGE and on day 3 I always puke. Now take a second and think..puke, large tonsils that do not allow puke to exit through "normal pathways", now think of the whole spraying milk out your nose...yeah puking through your nose. FUN.

Makenna started going to preschool two days a week in the mornings this past week. Day one was a little crazy, she didn't feel well, she cried the whole time a doctors appointment and then crapped her pants while in the car....it was a LONG day! The second day of preschool was much better..she enjoys going and seeing other kids. I enjoy the alone time.

This past week I registered for my spring classes at Eastern. Ok not really at Eastern, online but yeah. I'll be "attending" Eastern to finish my bachelors degree in general studies, the program I am in gave me full credit for my associates, which was really nice. Brent will also be taking some classes in the spring at Parkland, some programming classes he is interested in for work.

That's all for now!
