Post Thanksgiving

And, it is over. Yummy food, lots of cooking, Aggie Football (WHOOP!) and lots of fun. My turkey rocked. Loved it. Now, it didn't all go according to plan. I now have to call maintenance because I have a clogged sink and I woke up yesterday with a headache and a half thawed turkey! But really, in the scheme of things, it didn't mean much and I still made it thru the day. I think the only thing that would have upset me was an Aggie loss. The turkey thawed, the headache went away and my sink was semi-functional (the water still ran which was important!).

I am at work this morning -- I think there are only 3 people, including me, here today. But it will be quiet and I can get some stuff done. And I am thankful I don't have to listen to noisy cube neighbor today. Now it is time to get into the Christmas mood. So, here I go :).

Everyone have a great day and wonderful weekend!

Pre Thanksgiving

My turkey is still thawing and I am praying it is done by the time I go to throw it in the oven tomorrow! Pie is cooking (and smells heavenly!!!) and I am watching an old episode of "How I Met Your Mother" with the Happy Thanksgiving theme ("Slapsgiving"). I love pre-Thanksgiving. And I love Thanksgiving even more. I hope tomorrow to come online to give my list of what I am giving thanks for this year. If not, I will say right now I am thankful for my family -- my mom and my dad and the rest of my crazy clan. They rock and I love them all very dearly. (Tomorrow I might be thankful for Coach Sherman and the Aggies so today I might need to be a bit mushy :)).

Too Early.....

Christmas music on November 16. Um, no. I know it probably started yesterday on 103.7 but I was out sick yesterday. So, today, I get to enjoy it via loud cube neighbor's radio. So, until the day after Thanksgiving, that will consistently irritate me. How can I enjoy the music closer to the actual holiday if it is shoved down my throat mid-November? Maybe I am just too cranky today (but, no, I know me. It will annoy me until November 26.). Now I am going to finalize the menu and grocery list for the next holiday, Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving and everything about it. I need to create a Turkey song -- there has to be a market for a weird novelty song somewhere. (But, I do need to start thinking about Christmas gifts so Mom and Dad, need a list!) But if I hear "The Hippopotamus Song" before Thanksgiving, I will give in and belt that out. I do miss that song :).

I guess it is good I can be happy my Aggies are ranked #18 and totally kicking booty! I got a bit worried during the 1st half of the A&M/Baylor game last Saturday. All that trash talking and I was going to have to eat my words. But, they pulled through and I got to tell that special Baylor Bear to suck it. :).

Have a great Tuesday!

Yes, it has been almost a month since I have written. It seems like everything and nothing has been going on. The everything is just stuff I can't write about in a public forum. And everything else is insanely boring, nobody would care. So, right now I am going to say:

"WHOOP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A&M beat OU on Saturday -- our first win over them since 2002. It was pretty awesome to watch and the Wrecking Crew is back :). We are even ranked (I think for the first time since 2007??). Next week is Baylor -- and I predict we will beat them. There is even a good shot at Kim doing a happy dance after the A&M/tu game on Thanksgiving night.

Since I am at work, I will make this super short. Everyone have a wonderful Monday!!!
