Thanksgiving Day Update

Wow, its been almost a week, I'm so sorry to keep you in the dark about my adventurous life. Going back to last Tuesday, I stayed up super late trying to finish the Service Auction List. I finished around 2:30-3am-ish. And then realized I still had to pack, and clean my room and stuff like that. I took a few minutes to check emails, n' stuff like that. I was also listening to music at the same time. Partially for enjoyment, but as well to practice my complex Multi-tasking skills.
So during one song I heard a strange beeping noise. It was weird, but didn't think about it to long. Seconds later the song changed but the beeping persisted. It immediately hit me that it was an Alarm! Oh Crap! I had lit a candle in the bathroom earlier that evening and forgot about it. I ran to the rescue and only had to blow out the extended wick to extinguish the trouble. After waving my hand and batting the alarm down, all was fixed. I also found solace in Fighting the Battle of My Life once more. I have taken up arms against the evil trolls of Middle-Earth
once more. Finally around 4:30 I was set and laid down, thinking about how good a rest would be, but then quickly realized how horrible it would be if I wasn't awake to get a ride to the airport at 5:30. So I stayed awake. I dozed off for a few minutes, but when I realized it, I quickly snapped awake.

Wednesdays journey went by quickly. The second I sat down on the plane I fell asleep and didn't awake until we landed in Utah. It was 30 degrees there. I was happily greeted by Brandi-licious Chocolate Chip Cookies at my house! They were almost the best things ever! Having just judged in a Cookie competition, I felt that these cookies need to be entered next time to be judged.

My new sister's family also joined us later that evening. From there we Put marvelous puzzles together, watched wonderful TV shows, and ate lots of chocolate and treats. I saw it as an incentive to go back to Salt Lake for Christmas, despite the freezing cold. My little brother showed me how cool Guitar Hero on his computer was while my brothers and new sisters discussed wild tales of unbelievable size. In the evening we didn't have a set dinner, but we took full advantage of all the food laying around at our disposal.

Thanksgiving Day was a day of pancakes, turkey, and Football watching. The food was SO GOOD. My mouth now knows what heaven will taste like. I fully abused myself with the amounts I ate. It was spectacular. The Turkey, Mounds of potatoes, rivers of gravy, heaps of stuffing, baskets of rolls, loads of healthy stuff, and gallons of root-beer... then there were the stacks of pies. I'm drooling just thinking about it. After fighting off a thyrotrophin nap, I enjoyed a successful battle of usc college football. The girls dove into the newspaper to find all the ads for
needed/non-needed shopping places. I went with my dad later to go to a store. That was a big mistake. We went to CompUSA. As we got there they had all 8 registers open with at least 80 people in line for each one! That and every thing we might want was already gone. My dad was surprised to see people out that late at night, and it made him mad. I wasn't sure what part of the word 'Biggest shopping day of the year' he didn't understand.

On friday I again treated myself to pancakes, just to remind myself I was on Vacation. Later a large group of us went to paint ceramic plates. It was awesome! we had some really cool ideas. I'll tell you more about it all later.

Later we went to Chuck-A-Rama for Tiffany's birthday. Another great binge session.

On Saturday we went shooting. It was also fun, but Dave forgot the rifle ammo so I didn't get to shoot 'ol Betsey'.

Today at work I heard a horrible sound come from out front. I sprang to see what was the matter, and saw a motorcycle rocking on its side, wheels still spinning, and some lady running to the back of her car, as well as 3 or 4 on-lookers.

I'm listening to Eragon right now.

Lunch was sponsored by good ol In N Out.

Ut-Oh, the boss is coming, I gotta go...more explanations later...
