Thanksgiving & Birthday

My Thanksgiving day was enjoyable. My mom put in the turkey around 11am and then my step dad pushed us out the door towards Big Lots! Which is where we willingly ended up. That's right - on Thanksgiving day. When we returned home around 1:30pm the turkey was finished and it was a race to complete the preparations for dinner. It was only the three of us, we all pitched in and in no time were sitting down to dinner.

On my 26th birthday, yes I am getting old, my mom and I went and watched the movie Pride & Prejudice. It was good, though Keira Knightley is so thin her chest seems concave. Then we went to downtown Seattle for some shopping and absorbsion of the holiday spirit. We did succeed in spending money and drinking Starbucks Hot Chocolate and absorbing Christmas spirit. We drove home, stopped a few more places, and arrived home with a cake (albeit not a Baskin and Robbin's Ice Cream Cake - sniff).

Then I drove down south to meet up with my boyfriend and he took me to see the movie Walk The Line, also good though perhaps a bit of a let down after all the hype. (It reminds me never to believe the hype, therefore I know Narnia will suck in hopes that it will be good.)

I did get great presents and many thanks to all who called to wish me a Happy Birthday, I didn't get a chance to answer all my phone calls this weekend because I was a bit busy. However I will get a chance to call all of you back if I haven't already. Enjoy the rest of your four day weekend!
