Thanksgiving Happenings

November 29, 2010 by Bethany Sy

We went to see Nick’s side of the family on Thursday and Friday.
I ate entirely too much.
I went Black Friday shopping for the first time ever. It’s true, I was a Black Friday virgin. It was a crazy crazy experience. I only thought I was going to die once. I purchased one Christmas gift… for $10.
What’s worse than having explosive diarrhea at your in-laws on Thanksgiving day? Try having the only bathroom in the house located right off the living room… where everyone is sitting. Awesome.
We went to my parents on Saturday and Sunday.
I ate entirely too much.
My diarrhea subsided.
We scouted out and cut down a Christmas tree for my parents casa. It was cold. We had a stranger snap our family photo at the Christmas tree farm. She told us after that she’s a photographer, and handed out business cards. Glad she didn’t charge us a sitting fee!
The Chicago Bears dominated.
I’m well aware that our blog has been less than interesting lately. It’s just our lives, folks. We’re boring. But we are finishing up a couple of projects soon, and we have lots of juicy backsplash/mural painting coming up this month. So please don’t abandon us. Please.
I’m tiring quickly of my short haircut, and I’m strongly considering growing it out again. Comments? Suggestions?
What was the highlight of your Thanksgiving weekend?

My 27 yr old pulled in the driveway Saturday–he flew in late Fri. night from Texas for a surprise! My 10 yr old shot his first deer on Sunday. I ate WAY-TOO-MUCH again this year which is not really a highlight–just the norm!
