Thanksgiving 08 - A slice of life

Thanksgiving this year was symbolic of my life over the past year and a half. Try to relax in the morning. Rush like crazy to get ready, get in the car, drive like a crazy person, make it for dinner (lots of drame and surprise around me being there rather than TX), gobble down dinner, rush to get ready and go to the ice hockey game. Hang out at the ice hockey. (The Prairie Thunder lost...badly.) Rush home. Finish reading ads. Plot out Thursday morning. Turn off lights and try to sleep on a couch in a room next to the main drag and not think about everything else. Alarm goes off at 5:30. Brush teeth, wash face, grab list and go to Starbucks where there is a line at 6 a.m. The Target parking lot was full...at 6 a.m. I went to Circuit City and had a few challenges but walked out with 2 mpe 3 players and 2 8 gig photo cards. Leisurely went to Michaels, Lowes, Joanns, Card Outlet, Pier One and Meijer before heafing home. Enough is enough. Got home, ran to bank, ran to Target and came home again. I am so tired I am floating ...one of those feverish floatings. Put up the fresh pine garlands around the door and on the deck. A BEAUTIFUL november day. A little football. A glass of wine and mac and cheese in a cup.

Still thankful, despite the craziness to be with people I love. Happy Thanksgiving.
