Wednesday:
Pretty good day. This day was one for catching up with people I haven't seen for quite some time. Melissa and Jennifer took me to lunch, and that was very fun. I love those girls. :] They are just fabulous. I'm excited to get to be home for Christmas break to see them a lot more. I just have to make it through the last few weeks. Sprint to the end. Wendesday night was really fun. We went to dinner as a family, and I swear, we have just gotten weirder as everyone gets older. Then I met all the old Smart Cookie gals at Starbucks had we just chatted it up. :] I'm not going to lie, it was like really awkward at first. Ha. It was weird. I felt like I had nothing to say, and I didn't know how to talk to them. But then it started to get better, and everything was good. :] Phew. Then we went Country Dancing again, and this time it was much more successful. There were a ton of people there, and we danced like every song. It was splendid. :] I love going Country Dancing. It's just great. :]
Thursday: [Thanksgiving in case you were curious]
Today was good. :] I woke up super early after my long night, and went and got my Turkey Bowl on. :] I actually played this year, and it was pretty fun. I got bored fast though, and then just went and chatted with Rikki and Parker. We unfortunately didn't make it over to see the Single's ward folks, so no Stephen. Maybe some other time. :/ Then I came home and watched the Parade, and just hung out at home. It was relaxing, cuz we didn't have to be anywhere until way later in the afternoon. The Parade was alright, it was frustrating to me because the stupid Disney Channel hack jobs got all this spotlight and glory, and the originals, got the total shaft. They went to commercial in the middle of Cindy Lauper's performance. All during Gloria (something, the one who sings I Will Survive) she had pom poms in her face from the stupid cheerleaders on her float. It was really upsetting. Stupid new world and their stupid new morals. My kids are going to be the freaks in their classrooms cuz they won't have cell phones at the age of six, and an ipod in their head at all times. I don't care, my kids will grow up semidecent. Thanksgiving was really good. :] It always is, lots of yummy food, all the traditional stuff that no one likes, but everyone eats at least a little of. :] I love it. :] Thanksgiving of course isn't Thanksgiving without breakdowns, and yelling, and noise noise noise. Our family is really crazy. It's a joy. Our pageant was a little off this year. Ha. We didn't really have much of a script, and I just made the Indians break dance the whole time. :] But it was good. My mom spent a lot of time making all these costumes and getting this fake food for the pageant box this year, so we will always be fully prepared with costumes. I remember the days when we would wear Carol's scarves around our waist or heads and we were Indians. We would spend like an hour making up the script to the play, and practice it like a trillion times. Ha. Hopefully the younger kids will start to get more excited about it, and take the reins. :] They would enjoy doing it, if they would just try.
