Happy Thanksgiving

I Said I Wouldn't Do It

But I did.

I didn't have a lot going for me this week, with the exception of not lifting a finger.

Unless I really wanted to. And I did really want to oil the kitchen cabinets. Really.

I told myself that I was NOT going to fold the mountain of laundry in my room.

But I just did. It only took me about 25 minutes.

No. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'll ice my sore muscles before I put it all away.

Nostalgia Anyone?

Much to my annoyance, Maddie is watching that stupid sponge cartoon.

They are doing their underwater spoof of Mid Evil Times, which took me on a little journey down memory lane.

Join me.

Remember when we went in '92?

We enjoyed our utensil-less dinner, watched the jousting, and then the knight brought a rose over to Rachel.

Later that night, Jaynann (still mad about being left behind) was almost murdered for dis-petaling said rose.

Ohhhhhhhh. (sniff) Good times.

Santa's Helpers

An email was sent out at work inviting people to volunteer to serve dinner at a shelter on Christmas day.

The best part was the end of the message, telling the readers to hurry to sign up because spots go fast.

I love it. So many people are willing to sacrifice a couple of hours on Christmas Day that reservations are required to serve.

Is it Safe?

Have you gone to the store today?

I just need a couple of things, but I'm afraid for my life. The grocery store? The day before Thanksgiving?

If you don't hear from me by tonight, send out a search party.

A Really Close Call

You've heard of a drunk call... you know when someone who's had too much to drink thinks that 2am is the time to call their Ex.

Last night we almost invented the Isaac Call.

Sighhhhhhhhhhh

I've never been so thankful that my house is a cell phone Dead Zone.

Isaac crawled into bed with me at about 1am. In the process he hit just the right combination of buttons to dial a friend in the ward.

I caught (and ended) it in just the nick of time.

That would have been a fun one to explain.

Kicking Off Thanksgiving Break

If we must be 600 miles away from home, lets make some fun out of it.

A couple of friends joined us for a movie and caramel corn.

I'm thinking...wouldn't it be fun for the mom's to have a turn tomorrow night?
