Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Blog posts are few and far between here with everything going on...still bear with me until I get some stuff sorted out. You would think with the extra two days off from work this week, I could get on track. However, as luck would have it, I've taken the extra days off and found myself planning anything and everything I could for this long weekend.
First off, pics from last weekend's road trip....which by the way, was super AWESOME!

3 Doors Down was so great and the girls and I had a total blast driving down there, going to Beale Street, attending the concert and then making the trek home.

It was a short week at work which was also very much needed. I still am struggling with learning everything and now there is the added stress of preparing budgets for next year and working on year-end projects. I was thrilled when 4:30 rolled around on Wednesday afternoon and I headed out to start my holiday.
I was able to spend Thanksgiving with both of my parents and the day went off with very few hiccups. Dad made a turducken which was exciting in itself. Being the foodie that I am, I've always wanted to try one and since we were having a small gathering, Dad thought why not test it out this year. It got my seal of approval and it's another food adventure I can take off of my food bucket list. Mom was a little less adventurous and stuck with turkey and ham, but won me over with her sweet potato casserole and home-made peach cobbler. I was definitely headed for a food coma when I finally made my way back home late Thursday night.

| My Thanksgiving Present from Mom & Michael |
Yesterday, I got up and tried to get back into my routine and hit the gym for a much needed early morning workout. There was no way I was going to get out and fight the 4 am Black Friday shoppers so while everyone was out making those "money-saving" (or
notsomuch) purchases, my butt was in the gym. I did decide late in the day to venture out and continue my Christmas shopping, but after a few stops, I ended that little excursion. Plus, I had tickets to the Blues game last night, so I didn't want to spend the entire day out tackling the crowds.
The Blues game last night was fantastic! Did you see it? The Blues shut out the Calgary Flames 2-0. Elliot looked great in net and I was amazed with all of the obscure saves he was able to make. Hitchcock has steadily been turning the team around. I'm really starting to get back into hockey now too. (
This is probably a really good thing considering how poorly I'm doing in my fantasy hockey league right now.)
And this brings us up to today, on the schedule is a birthday party tonight and trying to get some things settled for Shell's bridal shower tomorrow. I'm coming and going and I have so many things floating around in this head. Thank goodness this is a random blog!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
