Thanks :)
Today has been awesome. My sister got into town last night and we chilled at the house while I made pies and destroyed cakes. I'm sure that's deep on other levels, but superficially... it smelled good. :)
We got up early today and went and ran in a 5 K that benefitted a local food bank. I ran the race in 39 minutes, unofficially. I'm still waiting on my "official time," since I wore a tracker with the insane idea that I will be qualifying for the Peachtree Road Race.
On that note, there's a resolution run on Jan 1 and race on St. Pat's weekend, if anyone wants to run with me. :) I'm thinking of doing both.
Of course, I got an invite to go to Las Vegas over New Year's Eve and I'm considering it. I probably will pass, since I don't really have the money, but it could be a lot of fun. I shall ponder.
We had dinner at home tonight, once V got done with work. OMG. It was a lot of food. We still haven't had pie yet, either. M rejected all Tgiving food in favor of chicken nuggets. *shrugs* He'll learn. :)
We had turkey, mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, green bean caserole, asperagus caserole, corn on the cob, rolls, devilled eggs, and probably something that I'm forgetting. We have left overs forever. Please come here and eat. LOL.
The plan is to go shopping tomorrow, early. Like 5 am early. I am not feeling it yet, but I'm sure I will be happier once we get moving. I got 95% of my Xmas shopping done last year on this day. This year, V, S and I have sort of adopted this woman and her baby. She was homeless, and between us all, we've got her in an apartment. She got herself a job and is working really hard. But, it's not easy and we want to make sure that she and the baby are okay, so I'm guessing we'll hit up quite a few things for her.
V is trying to convince me to buy one of the really cheap laptops at BestBuy or Target as a "back up." LOL.
I spoke to my family and wished them well, but I'm really glad that I didn't go home this year. It's just too much... whatever.
I need to work on my LJI entry. I have an idea. It took me a while, but I think/hope I can pull it off. :)
I also need to write articles this weekend, because next week at work is going to SUCK. A LOT. I'm dreading it already. XD
Anyway, I'm thankful to have a job. And be doing so well this far into it. I'm thankful for friends. I'm thankful for my family, who all love me. I'm thankful for my furry babies, that remind me that I'm awesome on a regular basis. I'm thankful that I've found the courage to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. I'm thankful that my health is so much better now than it was. I'm thankful that I can afford/can obtain the meds that I need to keep me that way.
I'm also thankful that there is a whole pumpkin pie waiting for me on the stove. Yummy.
