Just a Quickie

I'm still ahead on my Nanowrimo, but I'm certainly aching to finish it up. With only about 15000 words left to go, I hope to have it finished before Thanksgiving. Speaking of which, Turkey Day is a week from today, so there is a chance I won't be posting. We'll see. I have some interesting things to write about on Twilight and the Matrix, but those will have to wait till after Thanksgiving. I've also decided I need to leave my current job at the company and plunge headfirst into substitute teaching. The headfirst plunge would be easier if all of my free time not spent working for said company I'm leaving wasn't taken up by trying to keep my wife from going crazy over the lack of money, house and numerous other things. Plus I think I have the flu or something like it, as this cough/cold has only become more troublesome over the past few days.

Phrank: Thanksgiving Special

This Thanksgiving season, we have lots to be thankful for. I, in particular, am thankful for my wonderful fiance, Lisa, for the wonderful times we have together as a family, for Matt Cassel, for raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my thankful things. One thing we do not have to be thankful for is Pachebel's Canon. Watch the following video, so as to learn why Pachelbel's Canon in D haunts us to this very day. Greg, it relates to cellos, so you better watch it.



Thanks for a great Thanksgiving, here's a link to our first post ever in the blog, and it was about the legendary and infamous Munchkin game that still divides us to this very day. I did enjoy this game of Munchkin today, I mean, Rat on a Stick was hysterical. That first post was on March 24, and kicked off our sibling blogging. We're within four months of one year of posting, and it's been quite a year so far. Well, enjoy your month of Christmas music, now that Thanksgiving is over!

God and Thanksgiving

I hope Bill forgives me for writing in purple. I really wanted to go for pink, but I didn't know how well it would show up.
So, I went to my RCIA class today, I did manage not to fall on my face Sunday, which I think is a miracle in itself. I received a beautiful cross and a brand spankin' new bible. My mom didn't go, but my dad did, and I couldn't look at him without almost crying. I don't know why, maybe it's because I feel like this is where I belong. The classes are awesome. I don't question the teachings, as in, how could Jesus possibly be human and without sin? It's a mystery! Some of my classmates just don't get it, but I just accept it. Back in my dad's day, you went to Catholic school, and you had your lessons and you didn't question anything.......or else you got a ruler across your knuckles.....(or else I was told so..).
One of our "ice breakers", actually our last one, was what are we thankful for? Greg said he was thankful for me, which was sweet. I said I was thankful for my family, my RCIA group,Greg and you guys. Yeah, I know it sounds mushy, but when Greg and I get hitched I'll have some pretty cool siblings. I'll have (in all) 3 younger sisters and 3 brothers. I'll actually have an older sibling for once (Bill)! If you ask my mom I always wanted to be an only child, because they spoiled me from the start, and then as I was getting used to the idea of my brother, George, being around, my mom turned around and had Rebecca. =-0 The older I get the more I realize I'm extremely lucky to have my siblings. (just don't tell them I said so).
In other news, I get to see you all in about 48 hours or so... I can't wait! I won't be able to make Christmas, but I'm sending gifts. I already got Anne and Liz squared away, but I need ideas for you boys! If you don't give me some suggestions, I'll leave the deciding up to Greg.................
Tomorrow will be a busy day, I am baking the pumpkin pie, getting my check and...going to work (ick!), but then I have a nice 2 days off, so I can't complain much.
Have a good night.

Anne's Triumphant Return!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the unexpected hiatus, but I am usually at work or asleep, so I can be awake for work the next day. The overtime is nice, but it kills my social life.

First off, any punishments for me?

2nd- what do you want for Christmas? I need ideas, people! I will be more than happy to provide you with gift ideas for me in a later post.

3rd- I will be home for Turkey Day. My plans are as follows: Get home on Wednesday night. Go to Liz's game and freeze my butt off. Go home and eat as much as I can. Go home and sleep.

Thanks goes to Greg for making me realize I could write this earlier and have it post on Wednesday!
