It looks a lot like Christmas!

The day after Thanksgiving is the messiest day of the year at my house. Everything that goes on my tree apparently has glitter on it. Needless to say we still have glitter everywhere even after mopping and vacuuming, but it just seems to make everything a little more festive. Drew and I put the tree up on Friday (well he helped me actually set up the tree but I ran him off when it came to time decorate - no objection from him though). Here are a few pictures of the tree and the mantle/fireplace decorations lit up. It is a very fun and festive tree -- Ho Ho Ho!

This sweet angel-baby wanted to get in on the fun as well! 

The 11 Question Survey

The 11 Questions Survey

1. In baseball each player gets a “walk up song” that plays on his way up to the plate. What song would you pick?

I would pick Hanson's MMMbop because 90's teen pop never dies in my heart! OR MC Hammer's U Can't Touch this; tough call. 

2. What’s the best thing that happened to you week?
No work on Monday!

3. If you could have a starring role in any film already made, which movie would you pick?

A League Of Our Own; always loved that movie. Or any movie playing opposite of Matthew McConaughey.

4. What actor/actress would you have play you in a movie of your life?
Rachel McAdams. Big Fan.
5. What is your favorite quote?
Back when Grey's Anatomy was a lot better I watched the show religiously every Thursday evening. This quote is from the first season:

"Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate." - Meredith Grey (at the end of the episodes where she narrates and always has something wise to say). 

7. What was your first concert?
My first real concert was Kenny Chesney in 2005. 
However when I was in college we frequently saw Luke Bryan, Zac Brown and Jason Aldean playing at New Bar or Legends before they hit it big. Here is a picture of good 'ol Luke Bryan from Legends in Statesboro (I think in 2006), before he had his big break and thought it was a good idea to wear skinny jeans.... 

7. What Internet website do you visit the most?
Yahoo -- it is my homepage.

8. Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you the best and why?
At this very moment? Sleepy!

9. If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
This is easy. Outback Aussie Cheese Fries.

10. What is the background of your computer?
A picture from Costa Rica:

11. If you could relive one period of your life without changing the outcome what period would that be?
College. Damn that was fun! Made great friends and met my sweet Drew.

Weekend Highlights

I love 3 day weekends! I have attempted in the past  to convince C4 that we need to move to a 4 day work week but no one else seems to be on board - go figure! I especially love weekends where Drew and I get to hang around the house and do as we please!

I got a little bit of baking done; highlights: cheesecake, cookies and some breakfast scramblers that Drew and I like to take for breakfast.

I LOVE CHEESECAKE!

Oatmeal cookies - not my prettiest work, but they were pretty darn tasty.

2 yolks from 1 egg -- that has to be good luck!

Drew and I also did some outdoor activities that included carrying heavy items through the woods, getting into briars, putting up a new deer stand and riding around on the Ranger. 

Carrying heavy stuff, view from the new stand, riding ranger (no clue where that Huddle House cup came from, we definitely did not eat there! wink wink).

I also got a jump on Christmas decorating, hopefully this will be enough to hold me over 'til after Thanksgiving.

I love Christmas!
