But, I don't think anyone really reads this. But I suppose I can still update and pretend like I have friends that do read it. ha.
Well, Thanksgiving break...because I still have a break since I'm a perpetual student.
We got the entire week off this year, which is new for JMU! Yay. It went fairly slow though.
Let's see...where to begin...
I'll go day by day - because it's really that important...
Thursday (20th)
- I drove home after class all day - just in time for a Mary Kay party at my house...I showed everyone my video (see below) they didn't get it.
- Catch up time with Mom and Dad - I hadn't been home since September! That's a long time for me.
- Mom had knee surgery the Friday before, so I was taking care of her
- Drove mom to her Dr appt
- Dr said sure, you can take the brace off
- Mom was very excited, but still moving slowly
- So we decide to do some MAJOR Christmas shopping :)
- Mom adopts a family from Social Services every year, so we had 3 little girls to buy for...that was fun, spending all that money!
- We went to Wal-Mart, Target, Old Navy, and Linens - N - Things
- We also stocked up for Jason
- I went out to Bailey's with Andrea and Tammy...good times...but very freaking cold
- I can't even remember.
- Breakfast at the Tates - yummy fried potatoes
- I worked on a blanket for Jason - the kind where you cut around the edge and tie the two pieces together in a knot - I tried to find the softest fleece they had, but I don't know. I hope he likes it...
- We went to a dinner thing.
- Then I came home and did nothing.
- Hmm. I can't remember.
- I worked. 7A-7P
- I got my baby fix.
- I started preparing for Thanksgiving dinner - I made a Pecan Pie and tore the bread for the stuffing
- Then Sarah did my hair and make up
- I had a photoshoot with Liz
- Then it was off to Tammys to prepare for the best part of Thanksgiving break - Brocks
- It was a blast as always - I wore my brand new shoes (which I just discovered I ruined) and we sat at the bar all night and saw people we hadn't seen in ages
- I just wish I hadn't drank so much :(
- Thanksgiving!
- I made it home. Put the turkey in the oven...
- Ate some leftover chinese food for lunch.
- Showered and took a nap.
- Woke up
- "Helped" cook the rest of the dinner
- It was only Mom, Dad & me - on the couch with our TV trays - seriously!
- Very low key.
- Black Friday - Mom woke me up at 7am
- We went to Massapponax - and it was so NOT crowded
- Khols, Justice (JUST FOR GIRLS), Wal-Mart
- Home for leftover turkey and gravy
- Tamara visited...
- We packed up Jasons 42lb Christmas package
- I don't know again.
- Oh, big breakfast at the Tates as is every Saturday
- Becca and I made red and green rice krispie treats
- we ate a lot of them
- We ate at Pancho Villa in Dahlgren
- Daddy and I watched Sex & The City the movie
- I laid in bed all day.
- Jason told me and IED had gone off not too far away
- That put me in a yucky mood and I was mean for the rest of the day until I stormed out of the house in annoyance
- Drove back to school, and here I sit...
The internet at home BLOWS - which is why I had to wait so long to post anything.
We watched home videos almost every night I think. They're fun.
I'll be home again in 2 weeks for about a month. Joy.
I read The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks - maybe not the best book to read with my lover in the Army - but it wasn't terrible either...typical Nicholas Sparks though...
I'm sure I'm leaving things out. But I don't think you care all that much!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
24 days till Christmas!

Sounds like fun....and yes, I still read the blog. Maybe, we can get together over Christmas break and go out...although Brocks is not my favorite place to go!
