Man, taking yesterday off to go to the Science Museum was heavenly, but I really shouldn’t have. Now I’ve got too much to do today because tomorrow is another holiday. I’m taking my computer to my mom’s house, and everyone can yell at me but I don’t care.

For all those of you leaving today to travel for T-day, drive/fly/ride safely.

I cannot get the Maybe This Christmas cd out of my head. The songs get stuck in there and then I have to listen to the CD again and that resticks some of the songs. I gave this a 5 star rating…I think it’s worth every penny I paid for it.

I recorded the Wiggles on the Today show to show Junior later on, and watched it to see how it went. Katie Couric, showing a complete lack of good manners, insults the guys by asking if they are ever embarrassed jumping around, instead of waiting for an answer says the she decided they “must be embarrassed all the way to the bank.”

Okay, not cool. This isn’t a 60 minutes interview. It’s a morning live concert with a ton of kids in the audience. They don’t need to hear crap like that. They don’t think the Wiggles do this for the money, they think the Wiggles do this because they love kids. And that is why they do it. But the guys weren’t allowed to respond to that, the show ends there. So this is the last impression we get – the guys trying to look amused after being insulted on national TV. I don’t understand what would make someone be so rude on live television.

Guys, Try Good Morning America next year.

Junior passed out on the couch watching Atlantis. I actually feel the same way about that movie. So I carried him up to bed an hour an a half or so earlier than he usually heads up. That means Mama has the house to herself and a fire in the fireplace. It’s a better scene for romance, but I don’t have any of that nearby, so my trusty laptop will have to do. You all understand, I hope.

A 2pm trip to Bolton Orchards to buy apples turned into an all afternoon affair with mom and dad. Mom went downstairs with Junior to play on the computer with him, and dad and I watched football. I think he thinks I watch way more football than I actually do, simply because after 20+ years of HIM watching it all weekend, then the 9+ years Mr. Dump did, added to my fantasy football team knowlege, and suddenly I’m someone’s dream date – a gal who can follow a football game and actually get into it. I do feel obligated to make comments about their uniforms, though. I mean, it’s my job, right?

I keep running into people I know over on the offical NaNoWriMo website. They are people I know either in person or from other online groups I belong to. The cool thing is when I find them because we are on the same page of the list of participants by word count. Meaning, generally we are within a few hundred words of each other. I’m glad so many people I know are keeping up with it!

Tonight I spotted Tim from BredCrumbs (Link is over on the left). Hi Tim! I’m ahead of you now!
