thanksgiving and Christmas! (part 1)

so the fam is in town. and my computer is hijacked. it's the only one downstairs, so i've escaped to use one of the 2 upstairs, in my dad's office. hehehe.

we celebrated thanksgiving yesterday, hosting crystal and judy as well. good times were had by all! judy's cornbread was a hit, and crystal's key lime pie was the first gone. we've been enjoying leftovers for a few meals now!

so today was Christmas. we pulled down the boxes from the attic, decorated the house and set up the fake tree. we didn't decorate it (gotta save something for grandmother to do when she comes and is bored!), nor did we bring in "allen", the norfolk island pine. he'll probably make his winter home in the living room starting tonite, however, since we're expecting our first freeze of the year.

in college football, lee was ecstatic for texas a&m's win over texas, as was i. anytime texas loses, i'm all for it! and lsu was beat by arkansas, which was another huge upset! woohoo!! it just levels the playing field in the bcs. what a year! now for ou to top osu tomorrow...

i've SO enjoyed a few days off work. i did go in today to buy an advent calendar. woohoo! chocolate, every day! i also went in for 3 hrs yesterday which wasn't so bad. but i am not looking forward to going in tomorrow. i'm not necessarily dreading it, but it's the first time that i'm less than ambivalent about going to work. ugh.
