I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was really good. We had two really good meals and I over-ate at both of them. I was pretty miserable last night but I'm feeling better this morning.
DeAnne stayed with her Mom last night so they could go shopping this morning. They were still debating between Destin and Dothan, but I think they settled on Destin.
So the Christmas season is officially upon us. It's still hard for me to believe that this year is almost gone. I guess tonight I'll let DeAnne turn all our lights on. Of course, she may not be back yet, so I guess I'll turn them on for her.
I picked up the new Guns N' Roses album the other day. It's been 14 years since their last album came out and the only person still in the band from those days is Axl Rose. Given all that, I really wanted the album to be a failure. I didn't want it to be good simply because I don't consider it a proper Guns album without the rest of the original members (okay, well maybe just Slash). The thing is, it's not half bad. In fact, I'll just go ahead and say it. It's pretty good. You have no idea how bad it hurts me to say that, but it really is pretty good. I don't know if it's 14 years worth of good, but it's definitly not a bad album.
With DeAnne shopping today, we don't have much planned for the weekend. There's always that yard work I keep mentioning. Maybe I'll have the motivation to actually do it this week. Have a good Friday and a good weekend.

Giving Thanks
So after all my ranting the other day about people getting Christmas up before Thanksgiving, DeAnne decided to put our Christmas up Monday. I told her that I would help as long as she agreed not to turn the lights on until Friday. Anyway, she's posted a few pictures of the tree over on her blog.
It's amazing to me that we're so quickly approaching the end of another year. As Thanksgiving goes, DeAnne and I both have a lot to be thankful for. The Lord has really done some incredible things in our lives this year. I think one of the highlights was the summer and everything that we were able to do this year. With no surgeries or illness during the summer we were able to take some great trips and have a lot of fun.
I also want to say thanks to all of you who read the blog. Back in March when I first started posting every day (well, most every weekday), I didn't know how long I'd keep it up. I wasn't sure if anyone ever still checked the blog since I was so far out from my surgery. But it seems that word spread and slowly I started having people tell me that they had read this or that on my blog. It's pretty amazing now. I'm not sure how many people check it every day, but I know there are a good many people who read it from time to time. I hope that I've been able to keep your interest and I hope that you'll all keep reading.
So no blog tomorrow. We're heading up to Montgomery for lunch with my Mom and then we're coming back down and going to Kinston to eat dinner with DeAnne's Mom. I'll have a full report for you on Friday.
Have a good Wednesday and have a blessed Thanksgiving.

So, Did I Mention...
That posts may be spotty this week. Really, I was just lazy yesterday morning. Let's call it the "Thanksgiving Effect". I had all the intentions in the world of posting all week except Thursday, but I just didn't make it yesterday and I apologize.
Anyway, on to the weekend.
DeAnne went shopping again with her Mom on Saturday. Instead of being productive and doing the yard work I mentioned last week, I instead sat around and played video games and watched movies. I'm still working my way through the stoyrline of Gears 2 with Edwin. We're about half-way now I think. I'm also still playing some online multiplayer. I stunk it up Saturday, but I played one round last night and not only did I do well personally, but my team actually won the match. I don't know if I'm getting better or if I just got lucky, but it was nice to win for a change.
One of the movies I watched was The Incredible Hulk and I have to say, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. It was no Iron Man or The Dark Knight, but it was a thousand times better than the last Hulk movie.
I also watched What Happens In Vegas which was much more of a chick flick than I thought it was going to be. It wasn't bad though. Really, it was one of the better girl movies I've seen in a while.
I'm going to try and post the rest of the week except for Thursday. I'm going to be going to work all week, even Friday. I've taken about as much time off this year as I can stand and DeAnne's going to be going shopping any way, so why take Friday off just to sit at home by myself. Anyway, I'll see you back here tomorrow. Have a good Tuesday.
