Happy Post Thanksgiving everybody..

Monday once again - post Turkey Day. I would like to say that my turkey day was this big, party like event - but thank goodness it was not. Though, it was unusual. My brother came up from Texas, and my dad stayed home from hunting. Big deal, you may say. But, you need to realize that I have never spent a Thanksgiving with either of them. My day is always hunting over Thanksgiving and therefore never home. And, well... my brother lives in Texas and that is a long drive. I must say it was nice to be together like a family for the holidays. Normally, it is my mom, sister, her kids and myself. The day went fairly smoothly. I practiced my kitchen skills. I made sweet potatoes/yams (whatever you want to call them) and green bean casserole. I must say that both turned out marvelous. At least I think so. Just in case, I bribed my niece (she is 6) and said that if she told me they were good she would get an extra Christmas present. She's pretty smart. She ate some, and we heard "I like these". That's my girl! lol.

Over the weekend, I went to go and see "Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason". It was good. Very funny, about the same amount of depth as the first one. But, its a movie that makes you laugh. I went with my sister. We wanted to see "Friday Night Lights" or "Finding Neverland", but neither of them were playing at the theater back home. I dont know what that was about - both are new and popular movies. Oh well.

This weekend, I got almost all of my Christmas shopping done. All except my sister. But, I know what I am getting for her; its just a matter of buying now. Then I am done. Not even December yet, and I only have one person to buy for remaining. How on top of things am I this year. Very impressed with myself I am..

Now, I am back home. At work - though I am not really in a work mood. I would rather be home - sleeping! But, oh well... Hopefully my students will give me a break today - and make it an easy day. But, I guess its okay. I am leaving at 1:30 today to get some paper work turned in and all that stuff.. So, 4.5 hours and I am at least done with the students.
