Randomness Rambling

Happy Thanksgiving!

There are some times when travelling just isn't as much fun. Those are the times when you know you are missing out on good stuff at home. I absolutely love Thanksgiving: usually that last trip up to the cottage until Christmas, the smell of fall, great food, great drinks, and of course, the family. So for everyone who is back home enjoying Thanksgiving this weekend please eat some or all of the following:

* turkey
* cranberry sauce
* stuffing
* mashed potatoes, with gravy
* roast vegetables
* apple pie

To wash it down I suggest either a chocolate martini or a special coffee, laden with baileys and kahluha. No whip cream...no need to be excessive ;)

In other news, my vacation is over. Where did nine days go??? I thought I would have had at least one or two days of "oh god how am I going to fill the next 15 hours before I go back to sleep," but I barely sat still for more than a few hours at a time. Unless you count yesterday where I delved into complete computer nerdiness and changed around my blog (hope you like!), updated my photos on flickr, and other random nerdiness that I didn't even know I was capable of.

At the start of the vacation I had various goals for myself to accomplish in the down time: spending extra time on my French tenses, finishing the grammardy game I am making for my kids (it is much cooler than it sounds), and organizing my closet that is crammed with clothes that desperately need to be ironed. What I forgot about while I was setting these goals is that: a) just like in highschool and university, it only makes sense to do homework right before the due date, b) I can get paid to do things like grammardy at work, and c) I don't know how to iron.

Bah! Now tomorrow morning I gotta get up early, head to work and resume the 'normalcy' that is my life. Boo....
