Thanksgiving

So as everyone knows today was Thanksgiving. My boss decided to close shop to spend the day with his family, and so every employee could spend it with theirs. A month ago my great grandpa past away so this year the table felt a little empty. My great grandma, my great aunt, her husband, my great uncle, my uncle, his wife, and my two year old cousin joined me and my grandparents at our house. My aunt made the green bean cassorol, my great grandma made the gravy, my uncle mashed the poatoes, my cousin and I mixed together the jello and ice cream, while my grandma handled the turkey and the ham. Everyone sat down and watch t.v. and enjoyed their meals. Being one of the first done, like usual in our family you get to wash the dishes. My great aunt was second to be done so as i stood their pondering how I would start, my aunt was like I'll wash you dry. I really don't like to dry the dishes on Thanksgiving, I would much rather wash. Once she had all of the plates, bowls, spoons, forks, and knives washed, she turns to me and says you can wash now. I look over to see the pile of pots and pans used to make our family feast. I started scrubbing and got them all done. A few hours later I had to go to my other grandparents house. There I ate the whole big meal all over again. But she had a dishwasher, so clean up wasnt so bad.

New Moon

Ok, so it may be childish but I love the Twilight books. I read them all in a matter of like a week. I liked the first movie, and went to see it four times. I couldn't wait until the second movie came out. Two of my friends, that I work with, feel the same way, so when one of them got three tickets to the midnight premeire of New Moon, I almost peed my pants. My boss was so fed up with Twilight when the first movie came out, becasue we got his 13 year old son hooked on it too. So all we would talk about when his son came in was Twilight, and that is all he talked about at home. So my boss is now dreading this movie because he knows that in a few weeks we have made plans to take his son to see New Moon as well. He has already made it clear that we can not talk as much as we did last year. Thursday night I have to work but I have already bugged my boss about leaving at nine, so hopefully I will be done by then, so I can pick the other two girls up. We will be going at nine and waiting until midnight for the movie to start, but I know the time will pass quickly because it does when you are having fun.

Tickets

Earlier this week I was messing around on the internet, searching around for tickets to concerts. I was so excited when I found tickets to Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw on the Southern Voices Tour, in Madison on Feb. 12. I quickly drove up to Shopko and searched for my friend Sam, who loves Country Music. When I told her about the tickets she was super excited. I don't remember what her exactly what she said, but I beieve it was along the lines of "SHUT UP, why would we not go?!" I drove quickly home and purchased two tickets. There were not in the greatest place, but I didnt expect anything more since I ordered them late. I realized that is Valentines Day weekend, so I better book a hotel room quickly. I got a room at the Super 8 a few blocks way from the center. We had just planed to walk, but a aunt who lives in the area said that we shouldnt walk, because it was not a very nice neighborhood. Everything is set now all we have to do is wait.
