Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

1.  The Jumpin' Husker Parents celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary yesterday, so here's a somewhat belated public CONGRATS from their eldest daughter!
2. Tomorrow marks the final LSU home football game for the season. While I'm sad that the season is almost over, I am relieved by the fact that I will no longer feel like a prisoner in my apartment on the weekends. Who knows? Maybe I'll start being social on the weekends?
3. I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is less than a week away, and that the Colorado-Nebraska game is a week from today. Strange to think that I was in Nebraska last year to see the game with fellow Husker fans...and we got rid of Callahan...and went shopping...it was a good time all around.
4. So, it's down to the final 2 on Total Drama Island. I'm totally Team Gwen, but I'm okay with Owen winning too. As long as it's not Heather (which it can't be), it's all gravy to me.
5. Is it wrong that I just want to go the basement and shred a box of paper today instead of working on my To-Do list?

7 things I want to do
1. Move closer to home
2. Learn to knit
3. Organize my apartment

7 things I Say Most Often
1. Well, I suppose...
2. Yeah
3. For reals?
4. Union run?
5. Morning
6. Huh?
7. Really?

1.  My crush on Robert Downey Jr has been rekindled due to Iron Man. Must get Tropic Thunder tomorrow. And some leg warmers.
2. Happiness is a Route 44 Cherry Limeade from Sonic. Seriously.
3. Sometimes I don't like feeling like a woman.
4. Am I the only disappointed by the alleged cancelation of My Christian Slater Show...or whatever it is really called?
5. I need to figure out my holiday shopping list. And soon. Not sure how it's almost Thanksgiving...and when I became old...but at least the weather is nice.

1.  Have I ever told you how much I love Kevin Smith movies? Well, I do. And I truly liked his latest Zach & Miri... Which I enjoyed yesterday late afternoon/early evening in the local movie theater (#3 movie in a theater for the year).
2. I do believe that there is no bottom to the piles of paper/files on my desk. It's a bottom-less pit. Much like my soul.
3. Hooray for care packages from home! Mom struck again with a box of books and other randomness.
4. The weather gods are against me. Reason #10008: 80% chance of rain/thunderstorms tomorrow, aka the 'only' day I have to stay late on campus this week.
5. I have a desire to redecorate my apartment. Hmmm...maybe I need to hit up a Veteran's Day sale later today.

1.  I  my new vacuum. However, it  to see how much my former vacuum did not pick up. It was quite gross cleaning out the collection tank yesterday. (I won't tell you how many times I cleaned it out either.)
2. Woot for the Huskers! 6 wins never felt so good.
3. I have to concur with my fellow Total Drama Island maniac...last week's elimination kinda sucked. (like my new vacuum)
4. Productivity is something that I really should look into for this afternoon...or something.
5. For my SD friends and family, I will be back in the lovely state December 25 - January 3. So, if you'd like to hang out, just send me an IM/e-mail/text/phone call/carrier pigeon.

1.  I am extremely happy that the elections are over and that the Supreme Court/Congress/Magic 8 Ball does not need to make the decision. Now if I could just get my friends on facebook to stop complaining about the results and/or how others are handling the results, life would be great. (Honestly...there's a lot of hate going on in the world of facebook status.)
2. So, I liked the show The Ex-List. And, per usual, the show has already been axed. I think I've discovered my superpower. The ability to get a show canceled in 3 seasons or less. Oh well...I still have other shows that I like, but will not mention...I really don't want to tease the television gods.
3. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. (i.e., My S'mores collection has been increased by 2 figurines.)
4. Cross-Stitch Project #5 for 2008 was completed last week. And I've gotten a good head start on Project #6.
5. Looks like MoSus and I, along with one or two others, may be making a roadtrip throughout Wisconsin next July. Stay tuned here for more details.
