Thanksgiving Weekend

Since Sarah asked, Thanksgiving went pretty well. We got there around noon, did the usual huge family thanksgiving thing, and the left early because my brother came with and had to be to work at 5:30 the next morning. So, Thanksgiving good...ate too much, drank some beer, hung out with the family.

Friday was spent tying up odds and ends shopping, we were out and about at twenty after six, got some great deals, found out the new slim PS2 is basically the holy grail of this holiday season, and ended child free for evening...and both of us were too tired to go and do anything...we ended renting movies and going home.

Saturday was split between retrieving children and going to a first birthday part for a friend's daughter...of course, we ended up just hanging out waaaay toooo late and didn't get home until 2:30 in the morning...

Today was uneventful other a fenderbender...I trying to make a left out of westgate and ended up kinda t-boning (actually just denting in the two passenger side doors as best I could tell) of Jeep Grand Cherokee...not cool...so now I have ticket and need to call the insurance company tomorrow and get everything sorted. At least the person I hit was cool and reasonable...the whole afternoon wasn't fun but could have been a lot worse.

So now, I'm just spooked about driving even though I know it was an accident and I really shouldn't be that freaked out...

We're going up to her mom and dad's for Thanksgiving. So there still isn't anything to post her really, although I have borrowed her iPod and currently find myself in the process of adjusting and adding playlists...tonight, I think, I will just end up fixing up Rock-tober and return it to the dock...

I don't really have any thing to post...and I'm fairly certain any who reads this would agree...after all, bitching about work only goes so far.

The election is over.

I'm both totally taken aback and kicking myself for not factoring in the draw of Issue 1. Plus the polls seem to be absolutely worthless...so much for a statistically tie favoring the challenger. On the upside, I correctly predicted 47 of 50 states for Bush/Kerry...of the three I missed, FL and OH have to be it. IA seems generally irrevelant now. I did not honestly believe between the polls and the strong Gore showing, that FL would go to Bush. OH, I was betting on Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo carrying the state...vastly underestimating the rural vote and the draw of Issue 1...that should have been obivious! No wonder Bush skipped Ohio entirely for three weeks...the base was energized and there.
