Sweet Catastrophe

Well, as a trip to see the family, my day was pretty average. As Thanksgiving, it kinda leaned towards the “sucks…” side.

I ate at my Granny Faulkner’s (mom’s mom). Jessica’s family (brother’s wife) was all there, and it was kind of their thing and we were just there. The food was…it was okay. I didn’t even get any yummy dessert! Someone made chocolate delight, but they didn’t mix the cream cheese in it well, so you could taste it, and there were chunks of it. Bleh.

The ham was good, and the turkey was good, but by the end of the evening, I totally forgot to pack up any to bring home.

The trip to the Lott’s was quite depressing, but I’m in a good mood right now, so I’ll save that for another entry, lest I get all mopey again!

I ended my evening back at the Faulkner’s where everyone left and it was just me, Granny, and Joshua. I do so much better with the babies when there’s not an audience. He slept on me for over an hour and then I had him laughing until he had hiccups! He’s only 4 months old so I’m sure you can imagine how cute that is…

I wasn’t home long before Ryan made it here to unload the washer, dryer, and couch/bed.

While we were out there, a car pulled in and parked backwards and a guy got out and walked down the street. Then about 20 minutes later, two other guys got out and walked off as well. There really is no legitimate reason for them to be parked here instead of on the side of the street. And the whole complex was empty except for me after Ryan left, so I called the cops. I guess they’ve been patrolling, but the car is still here. Luckily one of my neighbors has come home as well, so I’m not AS concerned anymore.

I’ve ordered a few Christmas presents, and Ryan’s Zune. So I’m a lot less stressed about that now. Now, even if the gps falls through, I’ve at least got a really good gift for him! When it gets here, I’m gonna load it with some music for him, including a playlist for ‘us’ and pictures of us and others he would want. I’m quite proud of myself for thinking to do that!

Oh and I still don’t know what he’s getting me for my Birthday, but I’ve pretty much ruled out what I thought it was, and will later chastise him for making me think that way…;)
