I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving filled with food, family, love and football!

We didn’t do anything but football and Harold made a great dinner.

I did get more of the The Two Towers read and went through my xmas card labels. Lets just say my card list has gotten smaller. I emailed a few folks to get their addresses so once I get those I can get the labels printed out. I hope to hear from them by Sunday, I really would like to have them done this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. =)

Well, I actually have more time to write my blog entries, but for the life of me nothing is coming to mind. I’ve been in a mindless hazy funky the last few days. Avoiding the pc when I’m not surfing news sites. Just staying out of the office overall.

Today didn’t help that I sleep like crap last night. Took about 2+hrs to fall a sleep and then was woken up about 5hrs later and couldn’t fall back to sleep.

I’m wondering if sometimes it the fact that the office is dark during the day and unless it is rainy, it drives me nuts. So I’m debating, for things that I don’t need my desk/set up for, about going into the bedroom some days just for the sunlight.

I also have been reading more. We have a bunch of books that I’ve picked up over the years, but never had time to read, between my day job and handling our business. I’ve started to read Al Gore’s Assault On Reason and a book called Sweet Jesus I hate Bill O’Reilly (check out their site : http://sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.com/ )………those are books I’m picking up in the passing.

But this week alone, I did get The Hobbit & The Fellowship of the Ring read. I had always wanted to read them, but with way he wrote with all the little details and different names there was no way I could’ve read them before seeing the movies without having a lot of time to focus on them. There is still no way for me to really keep track of all of that…….reminds me of when I read up on Catherine the Great……….without having everyday knowledge of the Russian language all the names start looking the same and are hard to keep track of.

This is the one time I will say watching the movies helped to get into a book. It is neat to see how they did try to stay close to the books with even using some of the actual dialogs that was written in the books.

Today was my dad’s birthday. I made sure I called him to remind him how old he is, as a good daughter should……grin But he turned the tables on me and made me feel old and talking about an old Thanksgiving Day when I was a kid.

I got the pie baked for tomorrow. Harold will be doing nearly all the cooking. He makes a great turkey. =)

I’m missing my family more with this years set of holidays. I think it is because the last 3 yrs I had stuff to keep me busy and distracted outside of the house. So now I’m feeling it. But I’ll be seeing them soon. =)

I got my storage container of xmas card stuff out. Need to get off my ass and get to work on that. I would like to get everything out next week since I’m flying out to visit my family on the 5th, plus I have to get our tree up on the 3rd.

I also need to get all the pics from the trip up in some galleries. There are way too many of them to put on a flash drive to show the family, especially my 90+ great aunt. If I have them on the server, I can just get online with my laptop and show her. =)

I think I’m going to get some reading done.
