I cleaned my house, oh and put up the xmas tree. Woo hoo...what an exciting day.
We've had a fun week off of work, now it's time to go back. :(
So here's a run down of the thanksgiving weekend festivities... I drove down to So Cal to see my sister and her family at her inlaws. A long drive down due to traffic in Santa Barbara. But, when you hit Pismo Beach on 101...it's beautiful. I keep forgetting that I love the beach. Not necesarily lounging on it, but I think living on the california coast would be amazing. I hope that someday I'll be able to do it. Anyways, landed safely in Ventura, CA and had a great 24 hour visit with the family. My sisters baby is so big and very cute.
He was fun to visit with and I made sure to remind him that I was his favorite auntie! So after the lovely dinner preparred by the other aunt, I loaded up my car and headed home. My friend was really wanting to get in line early to best buy and get a good deal on a computer. Well by 8:30 pm the line at best buy in 2 different cities was around the store. So she settled on Circut City and called to have me meet her there to spend the night. That's right..we spent the night in front of the store along with hundreds of others. It was freezing and I left several times to go home and get more blankets and go potty. Luckily she picked the store that was 5 minutes from my house so I could go back and forth. Here's a picture of the line around 4:30am
Now just so you can appreciate it, It went around the side and back of the building. Anyways, we found some good deals but I can't elaborate as some are xmas gifts.
After that long night, I went home to go to bed. I then called my dd's dad and said I'd come and pick her up, but they were going to the movies..yea! so more time to lounge and catch up on sleep. I felt hungover! Then saturday night tay and I went to the big California High School football game. Their 2nd playoff game against James Logan High School. We beat my local HS last week and now they were going to try again to continue on the the championship. Now, Cal was not expected to win. They were the underdogs and this was their first time in the playoffs but they totally kicked butt and won 27-9. It was awesome. My cousins BF scored a touchdown and now the kids are totally pumped as they get to play in the Oakland Coliseum against the Powerhouse that is De La Salle. I hope you'll all keep your fingers crossed and hope that Cal pulls a major upset! After all this is DeLaSalles 16th consecutive title bid...don't ya think it's time they gave someone else a chance!
Anyhoo..there's our family update. 4 more weeks of school and then we're out for 2 weeks for the xmas holidays.
hope you all had a great thanksgiving.
