thanksgiving is done already? man, i was so looking forward to four days of not using my brain, but i feel like they flew by. i shall recap it for you by numbers since it wasn't all that exciting:

33 people at sister-in-laws for the feast. they kept saying "nobody came home this year." 33 nobodies. that's kind of funny.

3 bazillion calories consumed. i really don't know what i love best--the green bean casserole thing or the garlic mashed potatoes or a couple of the salads or the pumpkin pie or the pumpkin ice cream....

4 nights up past midnight. yawn.

1.5 hours of ice time during the family tradition of renting ice on friday night after thanksgiving. we missed you chris ;)

10 really stinky sweaty hockey players sitting around the table friday night around 9 pm for thanksgiving dinner part II (another family tradition).

500 square feet of wood flooring put down (and completed) in the new house.

3 grown men in a shower trying to install tile.

2 scabby knees acquired after scrubbing acres of kitchen, laundry and bathroom tiles multiple times to get all the grout cleaned off

2 attempts to see the blind side. sold out.

1 viewing of planet 51 instead, which was not worth the popcorn

0 shopping. you black friday people are insane.

and a million warm wishes to all of you for a happy and blessed Christmas season

oh, my mom said to tell you that a buffer, like people use for cars, works fab for that last coat of grout that does not want to come off....

Wahoooo! Photos, please.

We went out to dinner, at the m-i-l's earnest request. She was thrilled that there was no cooking and no cleaning. Bubba and I are still bummed that there are no leftovers.
