highlights of my Thanksgiving break

Wednesday:

• lunch at Chick-fil-A
• Mexican food for dinner
• watching LOST with 2 fans from my LOST email discussion group
• resurrecting Two Rows and drinking bad $1 beer

Thursday:

• seeing all my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents on my mom's side of the family
• Champagne Toast to honor my grandmother (and grandfather)- chocolate dipped champagne flutes with peach champagne... so good!
• turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, mac n cheese, cranberry dressing, layer salad, rolls, PLUS, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie and pumpkin cheescake

Friday:

• watching Texas A&M make UT play hard for the win
• watching Nebraska upset Colorado temporarily eliminating them from the Big 12 Championship
• attending the Stars' game in a suite in the Platinum Club courtesy of my sister

Saturday:

• visiting with my grandmother on my dad's side
• watching Kansas beat Iowa State, thus putting Colorado back in the Big 12 Championship game
• coffee with a friend
• happy hour with my former boss and her recently engaged daughter
• Mexican food dinner with my family
• Karaoke with my friends- the singing was fun, but it didn't beat having all my favorite people in the same bar

Sunday:

• enjoying the steak my dad cooked on the grill
• putting up the Christmas tree and decorating the house for Christmas
• going to Journey, followed by dinner at Chipotle, followed by good beer at the Old Monk

The break was too short. I didn't get to see everyone, and those who I did see, the time was too limited. But I'm glad I went home for Thanksgiving. Maybe Texas isn't so bad...
