ooh, I added fun quotes in the lower right hand side of the page. They’re supposed to change daily. We’ll all have to watch to see if it works…

Hm. Fun that I had written out an extensive babbling of pointless stuff just for IE to decide that it needs to close… therefore losing everything I had written.

None of it was life altering information, mind you. Most I won’t even bother rewritting. It was more for my entertainment than yours. No offense. :)

I had pointed out, in my lost post, that my dress has arrived. And the great need to begin tanning so as not to scare the innocent away during the wedding. Also the neccessity of altering it so as not to be stumbling over its length. (There was previous mention of platform shoes in the lost post… )

I also discussed the two movies that Tom and I had watched last night on his computer, Gattaca and Mind Hunters.

Now, I had links to everything… but I’ve lost interest in that. And, honestly, would you of used them? Right. So, I’m not going to bother with them right now. Maybe if I get bored later, I’ll edit them in.

Anyhow. I’m done with this.

Thank you for your time. ;)

My mom’s side of the family has their own Thanksgiving album now. :D

Yes, I finally went to go see Harry Potter. My sister kindly escorted me.

Ironic that when we bought the tickets, the lady behind the counter said that the theater was only half full. Of course, when we got in there, I would have to say that her little computer was lying. We ended up sitting very close to the front.

I thought it was a pretty decent movie. It is amazing to think that the book was over 700 pages long, and they made the movie from 150 pages (I think thats what I heard). So, obviously there was a lot left out.

I don’t think Angie was as thrilled with the story as I was, though. She’s not a Harry freak, like the rest of the world.

I would of liked to see more magic in the movie though. I like magic special effects.

Overall, I’d go to see it again. Tom did give me a little grief for going without him. So, maybe we’ll go together. And, now that I know how the handicapped seating view is, I think I’d be more apt to be up for a movie.

Today, the lake Thanksgiving with Balderdash! Pictures to be posted later.

Oh, btw, there are a couple new albums accessible on that Picturetrail site, if anyone is interested.

Here are the Thanksgiving photos I promised. All of them. :)

Give it a little time to load if you’re on a slow connection. There’s a decent amount of pictures this holiday. (Hm, I think there are some duplicates in there… I’ll have to work on that. I’ve been having some computer issues.)

I’ve started a couple other albums for my dad’s side, which I’ll add more photos to later. I’ll also get to the ‘lake’ side (my mom’s side) soon. There are not many photos for the previous years, so they should not take as long to load.

Happy browsing!

Ah the holiday joys of trying to make it to 28 locations in a three hour span of time.

The strong desire to make it to each location, but since I’ve lost my time travel device (Its probably in my closet somewhere)…

Waking up an hour before we’re to be at our first location, when it takes at least an hour to get started in getting situated.

Hm. I suppose I should get off here and start that craziness called Thanksgiving.

Have a happy day. And, make sure you say thanks for the good in your life.

Tom’s mom came over tonight to visit, bringing homemade cookies from a friend – which we always enjoy! Yum! (*Hi Dona!*) I really enjoy visiting with her (and, no, I’m not sucking up). She is kindly helping me out with a home made Christmas present this year.

Yeah, note to self (or whomever believes they’ll be creative this year with a present): When you have a brilliant idea to make a gift, make sure you have a clue as to what you’re doing. Or, you know, just ask Tom’s mom.

I also asked her 20 million questions about her family, since I’ve been working on their family tree. With today’s input, I’ve already found more information online for their family.

But, my family tree software keeps denying the fact that I have satellite internet (therefore eternally connected to the web), and keeps telling me to get online. I’ve attempted to ‘troubleshoot’ the problem with my software’s online help junk to no avail. Now, I could call the help line… but they believe their time is worth $2 a minute!! Whatever. They’d probably eat up a whole paycheck of mine by keeping me on hold for 30 minutes. Anyhow, the whole research process is a little slower this way…
