look what i found!

This is so serendipitously fun! It's Friday Fill-Ins, tailor-made for lazy ass bloggers like me! Enjoy! (Relax, I'm all out of exclamation points). By the way, I found this at Fond of Snape; visit her for witty words plus love for the misunderstood (and hot...What? Did I say that out loud?) Professor. He is one of my potential second husbands, you know. Alright then, on with the show.

1. The things I give thanks for this Thanksgiving are good health, close family, great friends, fun job.

2. My Thanksgiving traditions include chocolate-walnut pumpkin pie & the Cowboys game.

3. The best part about Thanksgiving is my traditions (see above).

4. My favorite Thanksgiving food is um, the chocolate-walnut pumpkin pie. Suddenly I seem quite uninteresting.

5. Trying in vain to make a great pie crust from scratch was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me on Thanksgiving.

6. After the meal, I hurriedly clear dishes so I can ignore friends & family watch the football game.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a presentation by StoryCorps creator David Isay, tomorrow my plans include getting my hair cut & colored then seeing "Lars and the Real Girl" with one of my best friends, and Sunday, I want to see my Cowboys beat the Redskins! After I sleep in...

are you ready for some football?

Or, are we ready for me to mentally check out from meaningful family duties, sundays 11-8, for 16 weeks?

TO DO TODAY:

• shower (even though it disrupts the lucky "no-shower-on-game-day" pattern for my Cowboys, but it's a new coach so we'll see)
• figure out tasteful yet team-supportive outfit
• church (because God is kinder to my 'boys when I worship Him first...Ha.)
• lunch with friend (she needs my support more than the Seahawks this afternoon)
• football
• some laundry
• football
• more laundry
• call Dad before Cowboys game (so I can read Harry Potter to kids during halftime - see, I'm not all bad!)
• dinner (focus on family for 15 minutes...focus on family for 15 minutes...)
• football
• post-game wrap-ups and highlights
• back rub for kind & loving primary caretaker

Oh, I'm so excited!
