Post-Thanksgiving post...

Well, I'm back to work...which is why I haven't posted yet today. In between work and class, I've been catching up on yall's holidays. It seems that most of yall had some good food and good times with family. I'm glad...so did I.

Portfolio: Due tonight. Stayed up til 1:00 am this morning finishing it up. It's very big. I don't know if it's supposed to be that big. So what. It's finished.

I want to see three movies out right now. I don't go to the movies too much...but right now, I want to see Rent, Walk The Line (not a Cash fan but Reese Witherspoon is my favorites actress), and Dreamer (hey, it's about a horse...what do you expect?). I don't have a clue when I'll get to the movie theatre though. I have a mind to take a day off and go to three movies in a row...and not tell anyone what I'm doing.

I've got a final next week...and one the following week. I'm stressed to the gills. I want this semester to be over. Once I make it through this semester, I get to go see Staci and spend some time with an old friend showing my baby girl where her mama grew up. I'm just looking forward to getting away and not having anything pressing to do. Oh, I can't wait.

Oh, I've got to post a picture but I got a new horse on Thanksgiving Day. Yes, he's a sorrel paint Saddlebred gelding. Cherokee is his name. This is the second Cherokee we've had...but this one is mine. The other Cherokee didn't stay long...I think M bought him with the intention to groom to sell...which is what he did. My new Cherokee is as gentle as a lamb. I didn't want to buy a horse but from the minute that I got in the saddle, I knew he was mine. We just connected at the heart. I know that sounds corny but it's true. It is.

I was one of those braves fools who ventured out at 5:00 am Friday morning. Waited in a line of 600 at Target. But for good reason. I got Disney Scene-It for $26.96...and a few other things that I can't list because of nosy little kids that might possibly read my blog when I'm not looking. I shopped til 2:00 pm Friday afternnoon without stopping. But I finished. I have nothing else to buy. M has to buy for his mother and his grandkids but he can do that. I am finished.

I started wrapping but since I haven't put up my tree...I have presents all over the place. Tonight after class, I think I'm going to put up my tree. I don't know if I'll get it decorated. But I'll put it up...and decorate it through the week. I just need a place for all those presents. Oh, speaking of presents...

I have this little black box at my house...that is just calling my name to open...but I can't. I can't. I can't. It's got the letters IPOD on it...and I'm going absolutely crazy. I'm making a list of music to download...just to pass the time...and to prevent a brain freeze when I actually do get to play with my new toy. Oh, and I just remembered...I thought of a name for my IPOD but now I can't remember it. Dang...I should have written that down, too. Oh, man...what was it? Crap. I hate it when I forget something.

Dang...that makes me so mad. It was a sound. A big sound. What the heck was that name? Well, guess what I'll be racking my brain about now?
