First, please if you haven't given me your address yet, please do. I would be verygrateful! Thanks.
Thanksgiving:
I had a great time with my brother's in-laws, my fam and BBG. We had a good time, and the food was fantastic! I kept going beck for more and more stuffing. Was good!
My mom made the appetizers and she outdid herself! She made several types of dips including a delicious pineapple dip (served in the shell of the pineapple) and a FANTASTIC artichoke dip that BBG and I ate WAAAAY to much of. We ended up taking alot with us to our respective houses.
I got a lot of good pictures of the day, but the saddest thing is, my 3 year old niece got a hold of my camera and took better shots than I did! Seriously, they are really very good! I'll get them uploaded some time soon here so you can see the budding photographer. BBG talked a great deal about cars with her husband. Which I was very grateful for. :-)
BBG and I saw the movie Australia on Saturday. Let me just say that Baz Lurman is genius. That's all. I loved the film!
***Warning: Vomit inducing lovey-dovey talk alert***
I just want to say that I love Alex and I am so glad to spend the holidays with him. I wish that he could see his dad sometime soon, but in my selfish way, I love that he is here.
Speaking of that...ok, so you have heard me talk about BBG for almost two years now. But I want to note that today we have "officially" been dating for one year.
We took it slowly and built a great friendship before we started telling people that we were an item.
This is significant for me. This is the longest and healthiest relationship I have had. I am happy.
No, we have nothing planned, nor are we exchanging gifts or anything. We don't really do that, but that doesn't change that we are happy.
To other, less sickening news...
It snowed here yesterday/last night/today and we have gotten about 5 inches in my area.
What normally takes me 30 minutes to get to work, took me two hours!
Ah, the joys of Chicago in winter. Actually. There are quite a few real joys about the winters here. Like the lights in the city. We plan on going next Saturday. It is GORGEOUS down there when the lights are out. I'll take pictures to show you. :-)
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and I hope that it only gets better.
love to all! |

*Whew*
I signed on today and there was, like, 15 seconds where I didn't have Gold! *involuntary body shakes*
There were all these foreign things on the screen, like something for baby products and I couldn't leave a comment and see what I was writing after one sentence. It was...it was...horrible. *shudders*
I know, I know! I didn't realize my subscription was out.
I fixed it ASAP.
Angry Turnip got my $18 and now I am back to Gold
*hands are still shaking*
That was close. *phew*
breathe Jess, breathe. It'll be okay.

I will say it again. Daniel Craig = Best James Bond Ever.
Quantum of Solace was awesome! The openeing credits were my favorite Bond Opening ever, and I love the song.
But really, I'll keep it this short and just say that,
If 007 wants your motorcycle, then 007 gets your motorcycle. :-)
make your own judgement as to whether or not you want to see this, but I had a good time at the show.

Friday's are days filled with hope of sleeping in the next day...I love sleep, and not having headaches, and caffeine.

You know, I think that I can type my username and password faster than I can type my real name, including the motion with the tab key.
There is something wrong with that.
............
Anyway, I loved reading what the closest book to everyone was in the last entry. It tells me who was at home and who was at work! And it is telling that there were SEVERAL of you who had a Bible near you.
....................
Chicken Thursday was a big success last night. I made Salsa Chicken (taco seasoning sprinkled on top of the chicken and then salsa poured all over it. Bake for 25-30 minutes, sprinkle some cheese on top and there you have it!) I also made Spanish rice and quesadillas as sides.
It was pretty good!

It is a thin Christmas this year, these are the only ones I can afford to get gifts for, which makes me sad. I love giving gifts. I normally get something for her, her husdand, and her. And a few others.
But alas, I cannot this year.
BUT...
I ordered my Holiday cards. :-) Those will be sent out within the next month.
I am so happy that it's Friday. So happy. So very happy.
I get to sleep in tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day and weekend!!
