Almost packed and ready for Cali

I'm just about all packed, I had to rearrange a few things since mom came over last night with a bag full of goodies for Luke, Steph and Leah. I have the big suitcase packed, I just have a few last minute things to pack before I zip it up. I can't believe I leave in 2 days! As you can see on my countdown, huh?

We got out of work early today at 1:30, it was awesome, they finally told us at 1:20 so we quickly shut down our computers and finished up whatever it was we were working on headed out. This is one bonus we get for working at McGraw-Hill...we get out early, most of the time, the day before a holiday. It was very slow and it would have been a very long afternoon. So after work I went to Kohl's, I had $40 in Kohl's cash and of course, it expired today so I had to use it. I ended up buying a new sports bra, go figure huh? I looked at a few things but I never have luck finding anything I like, so I stuck with something I new I needed and used frequently. After that I went to get a pedicure. I was long overdue and my husband's mad at me for not coming home to get him to go with. This was I will have an excuse to get another one maybe next month so he can get one too. He had just gotten up about 1:30 when I called him to tell him we were getting out early. He still had to make his pumpkin pies so I figured he wouldn't want to go, boy was I wrong! LOL sorry sweetie, next time. So once I got home Tom's parents were here just finishing up the ham they made for turkey day. There kitchen is getting remodeled so they don't have an oven yet, so we offered ours to them. The ham was so good, I got a couple slices before they left.

We got invited to go to comedy night with a few of Tom's aunts and uncles, but we decided to stay in. It was raining out and it was cold. Plus the cops would be out and I just didn't want to take the chance since today is one of the biggest nights to go out. So we stayed in and ordered House of China for dinner and they deliver which made it that much better we didn't have to go out, however we ended up going out to the mall once Micayla got home because she's been after a new cell phone which she thought she could but ended up she can't until Dec. 7th or so. We could have paid $60 to fulfill the rest of the contract or wait a little over a week. We finally talked her into waiting, she really wanted one NOW but come on... I really wanted to go to the mall, since I forgot to while I was out after work, to get my ring cleaned, it needed it bad. I also got to look at a new watch, that's what I asked for for Christmas, and I found a really nice one. So I gave him an idea, now I just have to think of something to buy him! Any ideas????

We're trying to find a good movie on TV but we're not having much luck. So when nothing's on we end up watching the Food Network and right now Diner's Drive-in's and Dives is on. Tom loves this show!

I'm downloading a couple of movies I rented from ITunes to download it onto my IPod for my trip. I rented a couple of "chick" flicks, "Remember Me" Edward from Twilight is in it, can't remember his name. I also rented "The Last Song" with Miley Cyrus, Micayla said it was really good, I just hope I can hear them while I'm on the plane, last time I did this I couldn't hear it very good because I was sitting near the engine the wing of the plane where it's the loudest. I called ITunes and they reimbursed me for the movie so it worked out OK. Since I rented the movie, I have 30 days to play them and once you start the movie I have 24 hours to watch it, so I plan on watching one on the way out to Cali and one on the way back.

Well, Tom's snoring on the couch so I think I'm going to catch up on General Hospital!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
