Holidays

Well, Thanksgiving is over so I can no longer complain (too much) about the amount of Christmas music being played on the radio and in public places. I went home on Wednesday, hung out with my parents and brother that evening, sorted through a lot of my old clothes (about 1/4 of them went in the trash, and 1/2 are going to Goodwill, while I kept the remainder for staying-at-the-farm-and-getting-dirty clothes), and piled up a few things to take back with me. Thurdsday, Emily, Longe, Cathy, and Mary came down. I helped my mom with things for a while, studied some, and then ate and hung out with the fam. In the evening, when the cousins were talking overly much about politics and other topics that us younger people were being bored by, we went over to the cabin and watched a couple of movies. Well, actually critter, Em and cathy watched "Tropic Thunder" and some other movie that I've also seen but can't remember the name. I readEm's copy of "Twilight". And now I must read the other three books in the series. My mom was asking me for stocking-stuffer ideas, so I told that I wanted these books. Well, I was a little too truthful about the topic of the books (seriously, I'm married and out of the house - why does she care?), and I was quickly informed that I shouldn't read those, and she is NOT going to get them for me because they are evil. *sigh* It's FICTION!!! ugh.... so, now I must buy them myself (which was my original plan). I wonder if I can get them for cheap on Amazon...
Anyway, on Friday Mama and I went shopping. It was horrible - so many people. We did manage to buy some clothes for hubby and the critter, but that was about it. Once home, we ordered the pots and pans I never got for wedding presents, and they are on their way to my house! yay for owning more than one saucepan!
