While contemplating the mountainous pile of work that I have to accomplish this weekend, I’m listening to the auditory treat known as Muse. I love it!
Thanksgiving was marvelous. I watched the Macy’s parade in the morning and later we went over to the grandparents. I love getting together with family around our 21 lb. turkey. Yummy. The food was excellent. My favorite was the broccoli casserole *goodness*. We all ended up eating till we regretted it - Shoveling the last bits in, stopping just short of internal combustion. Food is only part of the Thanksgiving treat though.
Throughout the visit, we were enthralled in conversation of the utmost importance. My grandparents had obviously started the party before we had arrived. My grandfather forgot my name, and my grandmother came out wishing everyone a Happy Easter. They’ll never live that down. For the rest of the night, the focus of conversation was mainly on my aunt and uncle’s workout and diet routines and their personal trainers. But, the family didn’t disappoint. The dreaded question was bound to come up sooner or later. They asked me what I was planning on doing after I graduate (about 5 times each). They ask me this at every family gathering. So, I was prepared. I just shrugged it off, and followed it with an “I don’t know”. Somewhere between the 3rd and 5th question, I just shrugged. The family then proceeded around the room picking on their kids and each other. My uncle bought a small boat to fish. My cousin Dayna, 13, is ready to move out to a friend’s house- the rest of the family laughs and moves on- her brother Mark, ~11, likes to call everyone stupid. Ahhh, the family bonding! It’s usually all in good humor though. Can’t wait till Christmas.

Stupid Bridget
*horns blaring* It’s time for another one of my fascinating posts…
I have spent the last week or so practically living on my friends’ metal futon. They were wonderful for putting up with me, without them I wouldn’t have accomplished any work. It’s nice to get away from the house sometimes, but I’ve greatly missed my bed. So, it’s good to be home for a day.
Work is work. I had a doubly long shift yesterday…can’t wait to see the fruits of that labor. We were mad busy yesterday and Friday night….all wanted to see national Treasure. I don’t know, didn’t really look that interesting to me. They asked, actually begged, me to work today, but I turned them down. I have a lot of things to do, and besides I needed some me time!
So today I went and saw Bridget Jones. I didn’t realize how much the movie appealed to older women. I was the only person under 60 in the theater. It was really cute though. I totally recommend it. Wonderful movie! Ahh, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. I don’t think it was as good as the first, but that is how sequels are… I’m still going to watch it a million times though. It was very good. I’m the romantic comedy mood. I watch Love Actually 5 times last week. Romantic comedies just make you feel good inside after watching them. Ahhh, love.
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around us
And so the feeling grows

Pop!
Yeah, i've been a bad blogger lately. I will update soon, but i just wanted to pop on and say hi.
Green is your Lightsaber's color.
Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth,
harmony, and freshness. Green has strong
emotional correspondence with safety. Green is
also commonly associated with wealth and
happiness, so someone with a green lightsaber
like yourself is a fortunate soul.
What Colored Lightsaber Would You Have?
