Good day....

I had a nice Thanksgiving. I spent the day cooking and only had to feed six people at the table, and Dylan after he worked. I didn't kill myself, but I did find something truly irritating...too many people in the kitchen. I just about chewed a couple of heads off because they kept getting in the way...one being my mother and one being my brother. They finally took a hint when I said, "If people don't get out of my fucking kitchen I am going to kill someone." As subtle as that was, a couple of them left. After dinner, Dylan made it over and he received his leftovers, which he seemed to enjoy. Then we all sat around and had pie. I was such a good kid yesterday and stuck pretty much to the diet.

As for today, I was going to get up and go shopping but I was too damn tired! I only left the house to go to dinner with Dylan, and here I am back at my house at 6:10 pm typing on the computer. Unfortunately, I came home to a house full of company, so I am hiding in my den.

I have to say that I am worried about my father. He has been sick for about 3 weeks now. The coughing and the runny nose have stopped, but now he has an upset stomache and absolutely no energy. Yesterday, he went and took a nap.......for 2 hours. Today, he had gone in for another nap and I don't know how long it was. I am thinking that his not feeling well is all physical....I think my dad is in a "depression" which I am not use to with my father. The last time I saw him depressed is when his brother passed away, which was about 5 years ago(hell, that seems sooooo long ago). I think his age has caught up with him abruptly. And I don't think it helps that he and my mother have been fighting since September. Ah, the joys of being the youngest.

Well, it looks to be that tomorrow is the start of my Christmas Shopping. I am going to buy wayyyyy toooooo much again this year, like I always do, but I will enjoy it. I have decided that I am going to decorate my house until there is nothing left untouched. I want it to be festive, festive, FESTIVE! I am pushing the "joy of the season" upon everybody in this abode until they LOVE CHRISTMAS. It is also an attempt to get me in the spirit.

Looking forward to tomorrow..........

Good day, good weekend.....

Let's start with the weekend. I spent Saturday with Toni...getting the new "do" which I actually really like. I was worried Toni was going to make me look scary, but she had great ideas. Also love the new stylist, who had fantastic ideas and wasn't scared to work her magic! Then Toni and I went window shopping and got lunch. I then went to a hockey game with people from my work, Toni and Rob, and Dylan. Had a great time and didn't make too much of an ass out of myself. Then went to a party with Dylan afterwards. The rest of the night was kinda bad. I got home and my littlest dog was acting like she was dying...so I stayed up with her until about 4:45 am and then went to bed...only to get up a few hours later. Then I made a horrible attempt at being a nice girlfriend to Dylan and was a bitch the entire day. I did have a great time at "Harry Potter", loved the movie and was very impessed with how they stayed true to the book. I strongly suggest you see it EVEN if you haven't read the book.

The day today was a long day, but a good day. I am only going to be able to do my "research specialist" position today and tomorrow because I am going to have so many people off the phones Wednesday that I will have to be back to being a customer service representative on Wednesday. SOOOOO, I stayed an extra hour late trying to get stuff off my desk. Tomorrow is going to be a long day again, because I want to be able to come into work on Wednesday with nothing to do but answer phones.

Did I tell you that I was cooking Thanksgiving this year...again? I am actually somewhat looking forward to it because I am not sure how many people I will be having to dinner, so the surprise adds a bit of mystery to the day...and I am always up for a challenge. Plus, I will get to see my man that night, and that makes the day worth it. Am I sap or what? I guess it just makes me happy to see him sometime during the week because that happens soooooo rarely. And then, I get to look forward to another weekend......aaahhhhhhh! Actually, Friday is my shopping day (yes, I know I am a fool to go out with the millions of crazy people, but hey, I am one of those crazy people...) and Saturday I think I am putting up the Christmas decorations outside...woooohhhoooooooo!

Still, only 11 more months until Halloween.........
