thanksgiving

The Seal Has Been Broken & Other Randomness

I TRIED to wait until Friday, I PROMISE, but you know, I’m starting to feel the spirit a bit, so I decided to go ahead and play some Christmas music. I also thought I’d wait until Friday to start holiday shopping, but nope. I ended up picking up a few things at Target for Booba and some other people. Considering the situation, I am definitely going more frugal this year, but that doesn’t mean the gifts I choose will be any less personal or special.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! It’s going to be weird, I’m not going to lie. Those of you who read Chris’s journal will know why. But I’ll make it. And Friday I get to see my mommy and my little Booba, who I haven’t seen since last Friday, and I miss him! I’m glad he’s with my mom, though, because he’s so happy there. All he could talk about last week was how much he loves his grandmommy and how excited he was to see her. I love calling her and telling her about that, because it makes her so happy. She’s thrilled to be spending Thanksgiving with Aidan again.

I walked to the post office today to mail a letter (starrlyte, watch your mailbox!) and buy stamps. It was a pleasant walk. Nice weather. Then I came home and lit a Nag Champa and for some reason, I sneezed about 10 times. It was weird. I’m okay now, but still. That was so strange.

I booked a LONG trip to Chicago in February. I was planning on going anyway, but not for as long as I ended up booking it. February 9-18, 2007. It’s going to be a busy week. So much going on, with book releases and 30th birthday parties and all sorts of other things. I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be just the perfect thing to break up the endless Ohio grey days.

I managed to get ahold of a copy of the Philly Dylan concert I attended. I listen to Desolation Row over and over because the arrangement on it is just so freakin’ amazing. I also keep listening to Tangled Up In Blue and Highway 61 Revisted. It’s fun to think “Wow, I was sitting in the audience and bopping my head during this song!”

Tonight, I will be playing on the computer, journaling, and writing letters. Reading, relaxing, all that good stuff. Should be peaceful.

And of course, a survey.

So, okay. (Picture)

Just a few things:

  • I am not pregnant.
  • While it’s exciting that OSU beat Michigan, it really isn’t that big of a deal to me.
  • Burger King? Please! I’m a McDonalds girl! πŸ˜€

But…
Most of you know that I write.
Something exciting is in the works with the novel I’ve been shopping around.
I’m seriously superstitious, however, so I don’t want to spill the beans until things are more official.

That’s all I can say right now. Stay tuned for more.

And moving on…

I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a nice one. We did. I got to eat lots of good food, relax, and read! Reading is always good. πŸ™‚ So is yummy homecooked food, like this:


Mmm, yummmm. πŸ™‚

I got a random cold about 4:30am Tuesday. I woke up with a sore throat, but managed to go back to sleep. When I got up for work, I was pretty stuffed up. Now, I’m sneezing and coughing a lot. This truly did come out of no where. Right now, my track record is catching a cold every other week. Yay.

And… THE CHRISTMAS SEASON is officially here! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Anyone planning on fighting the crowds at Black Friday? This will be the first year I’m skipping out in a LONG time. But it’s okay. This is my favorite season–well, minus the snow, of course. But you know, I can deal with the snow for now. Can you believe that Christmas is in a little over a month? I have to get going on my shopping and Christmas card sending. And… now it’s okay to put up the Christmas tree–that should be happening soon because on December 10th, Aidan goes to stay with his grandmother for two weeks. I want the tree up before he leaves. But…when he’s gone, I plan to do all of HIS shopping. You see, Aidan is starting to remember and associate things, and if I take him along when I buy his presents, he’ll either want them right away, or he’ll ask for them.

Although… the Nativity set did come on Monday and *I* couldn’t resist opening it, along with the extra shepherds. Aidan is playing with them now–it is the most precious thing ever. πŸ™‚ Now I want to get him the Santa and the Sleigh…or the Tree Lighting, but we’ll see about that. The free shipping promo ended, so unless they have another, it’s doubtful that I’ll buy anything else from Fisher-Price.com. Chris was thinking of getting him the farm, which would be totally neat for me him. Yes, HIM. Meaning Aidan. Um, yeah.

**innocent look**

I’m going to go. Chris just farted and now the loft stinks. : Good night!! πŸ˜€
