Pink Flamingo on Toast

I just maybe a sucker for any man who is an adventurer but Harrison Ford looks quite good in this photo of the next Indian Jones movie. I hope I age that well.

There is nothing better then freebies...Especially Christmas freebies. You should head over to iTunes and click on The Bird and the Bee sing Carol of the Bells. Get it before next Tuesday when their next freebie goes up. Enjoy ! _\,,/

This week is all about preparation for finals and the state exam next week. My stomach is a little queazy with all of this but I'll survive. (Cue Gloria Gaynor) Don't have much to say as my brain is a little distracted with lists of things to do. _\,,/

My folks came down from Michigan to spend the holiday with me. This is the first time they have come for Thanksgiving. It's been fun cooking with Mom and Dad all week to get ready but I'm ready to just enjoy visiting today. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! A Short list of Things I'm thankful for (in no particular order): My Husband My family My cat My friends My life I could do away with all the things but I couldn't do away with the people in my life. They are what really important. GO People!

I hate coming home at 7pm and hearing "What's for dinner?" I try to plan and what really helps me is my crock pot. It's so easy to throw everything in and leave it for the day. Sometimes the clean up can be annoying. Well today I'm trying Reynolds Crock Pot Liners . I just put in my carrots, potatoes , onions and roast and we'll see if it really is easier to clean up. I wonder if cooking in plastic is healthy..hmm...oh well..what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!

Mom and Dad are coming down for Thanksgiving. They TXT'd me last night on my phone saying that they had arrived in Louisville, KY. They drive it takes them 3 days to get here because they only drive 8 hours a day. At least they TXT me. I love technology Jerry and I are scrambling around doing all those little things to prepare for them. Ok...I know I shouldn't have procrastinated on the laundry but I just hate it! So that's what I'm doing today. One load is in (new sheets for Mom and Dad's bed..300 count..ooo soft) and then it's on to tackle towels. Also have to go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving Dinner and the rest of the week. Think my folks would be okay with Olive Loaf sandwiches for the rest of their meals?

So after Lisa said she scored a Wii at her local Gamestop I was determined. I got on the phone between work and heading to my professors office for my interpreting review. SCORE! They have 3....I asked if they could hold one and they said no but to call back when I was on my way. I finished my meeting and headed home to get a quick bite to eat and let the maids in. (Parents will be here Tuesday and everything has to be just so). So they get here..I'm back in the car and heading to Gamestop. They were sold out. There was a gentleman perusing the games that said that he was just across the parking lot at Walmarts and they had several. I dashed out of the store and headed over. Sure enough..they had 3! I snatched one up along with a Wii Play box. So I called Jerry and told him my little story and we talked and decided to get Lego Star Wars : The Complete Saga as well. So I swung back into Gamestop to pick that up and to see about an MMO that is coming out (which the...

Okay..it's true, Jerry and I are NPR Geeks. We support our local NPR channel therefore we got an offer to see Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know? live here in Jacksonville on February 2nd. Jerry and I get a kick listening to this show on Saturdays when we are out and about. Going to a live recording will be that more exciting! I know..it's many months away but I just got the tickets. They aren't even available to the public yet. Just supports of the NPR channel. Ooo..exclusivity....

Those are the words from my professor after an interpreting/transliterating product in class! She said I made mistakes but owned those too. Yay! That's what I'm striving for....confidence. If you are going to make a mistake..make it as good as the rest of the product. Does that make sense?...anyway it does to me. Not much else going on...Oh yeah, I'm leaving my job at the relay center in mid-December. I really want to devote my time to my internship next semester and to be honest the 3 weeks of no work and no class sounds wonderful. If you want a good laugh check out Jerry's" blog ...the things he could do with another identity!

I really like Fridays. I don't go to work on Fridays. I don't have class on Fridays. Most of all I don't have to go to bed early on Fridays. I know it's silly to look forward to these small things but isn't it the small things that make life wonderful?
