Thanksgiving recap

I went home Wednesday after work and ate dinner with my mom's mom and family. I planned on going to Dothan after dinner, but decided against that and went home. As it turns out, I left Phenix City without the keys to my parents house. I looked and looked for the hidden key, called my mom and everyone else at the dinner no answer from anyone! Got angry stomped yelled and went to my daddy's. I had a nice time, sometimes we don't have much to talk about but this was a good visit. Went to bed zipped up in a sleeping bag (his house stays cold!) Thursday I woke up at 6:30! Who wakes up that early when they have nothing to do. Mind you, if I have to be at work I will sleep until 7:45. Lunch was good at my grandpa's. Uncle Don wasn't there and that was strange but all in all it was good.
I decided to head back to PC Thursday night. I started straightening the house (I am cooking Saturday) and drinking wine. Before the night was over I was completely trashed with only a moderately clean house. I think the wine got stronger! Woke up this morning early and did some more cleaning then went grocery shopping.
I bought the smallest turkey I could find which was still 10lbs and other trimming items. Stay tuned for how my first thanksgiving goes.

It happened

Well some poor soul finally managed to get me in a "committed" relationship. Can you believe it! I stopped running, even refer to him as my "boyfriend." Big step for all who know me. Strangely I am very excited. Several things I am trying this time:
1. Don't over analyze
2. Don't anticipate the future
3. Do enjoy the moment
4. Don't be so critical
5. Do express my appreciation
I am sure there are many more things on my check list but for the moment those will do. Now, back to your regularly scheduled update.
Friday I actually came home at 1 and didn't work the rest of the day. This week has been extremely rough at work. Several things are going on and I spent the week reminding myself why I love what I do. Additionally, I knew I would be working on thanksgiving goody bags for hours over the course of the weekend, so my afternoon off is justified. I planned on grilling pork chops for dinner... but, remember a few months ago I left the grill on. Yeah so grilling didn't happen, instead I tried to cook the thick pork chops on a George Forman grill. That took forever. We ate then watched the Pacifier.
Saturday was uneventful. Played with he puppies outside for a while then Josh put my dining room table together, and we ate lunch. After lunch the Iron Bowl came on ugh that was terrible! Josh went home at half time to get ready for a mission trip. I spent the afternoon and night doing odd things around the house (never did vacuum though).
Sunday I slept late and almost talked myself out of going to church. About 10:30 I decided I should go and went to Ladonia Baptist Church. The message was good, but the people were not overly friendly to a visitor who what obviously there alone. Came home and started putting the goody bags together. Can you say 5 hours? The breakdown is as follows: 1 hour to cut out the cards and punch a hole in them, 30 mins to mix the ingredients, 2 hours to stuff 50 bags, 1.5 hours to tie the cute little ribbon on.
All in all the weekend was great now it is off to work for this very short week!

Doing well

I am doing surprisingly well being single. This weekend I stayed at home (leaving only to take my trash to the dump and pick up Wendy's) I did laundry *first time in over 3 weeks* turns out I have about 40 pairs of underwear, cleaned the master bathroom, unloaded the dishwasher, got addicted to facebook, watched football (ROLL TIDE), and walked for 30 mins.
I have however decided I need a roommate preferably someone with a green thumb, my yard is a death trap with me taking care of it. Still haven't decided if I am going to the gump t/m I need to finish my work b4 Monday.
Someone leave me a comment (I ain't to proud to beg) I feel neglected!

So i have a good life

I agree that these shirts are degrading, but a girlcott? I wish people would understand that names exist that are gender biased. Pick battles and focus on one at a time. By changing this from a boycott to a girlcott, it takes the focus off of the real issue.
To add to this I don't find these shirts funny, but if you want to wear them fine. I just don't see myself wearing something that implies I am stupid. They have some mild ones here
