the essence

Thanksgiving was rather uneventful. I did miss being in Orlando with all of my family & friends but it didn't bum me out. A few years ago I probably would've been in quite a mood not getting to be where I wanted. Thankfully, I've finally seemed to pretty much accept alternating holidays with out families.

We did not go shopping on Black Friday - I was way too tired for that!. I did make a quick run to Target & found that they had all of the Harry Potter dvds on sale for around $4. I still hadn't seen the fourth one so I went ahead & bought it since it costs more than four dollars just to rent a movie!

Around 6 we went to Erin & Nathan's - a few of the guys were getting together to game. We had Pizza Hut for dinner & then Erin & I went to visit Raachel. We stayed there talking until around 11:30 & then went back to Erin's. I don't think we left there until close to one.

Saturday Ray worked & I lounged around the house. I have fabulous intentions to get things done but at this point its not happening. The place is a mess, my Christmas decorations are out of the attic but hardly a thing is up yet & cooking has been nearly non-existent. I'm just way too tired & trying to stay off my feet & rest.

Today was church & then a baby shower for my sister-in-law who is expecting twins! The poor girl is 28 weeks along & has been in the hospital on bed rest for a little while now. She actually almost had the babies last night! (a boy & girl, how perfect)

Anyway, that's my little update. I'll try to post a new belly pic soon, there probably aren't many of those left!
