I woke up this morning with a bad-ass headache. You know, the kind of headache where you just want to throw the covers back over your head and not get out of bed until sometime on Thursday. But, I did manage to drag myself out of bed and drop 2 Advil down my throat.

I have work tonight, and I’m not really looking forward to it. It’s not so much the fact that I really don’t want to put up with work, but I think it’s more along the lines that I need a good day off. I need a day off where I don’t have to be anywhere or do anything that ends up taking over my day. I need a day off where I wake up, have some cereal, play ome Guild Wars, have lunch while watching some TV, play some more video games, have a nice dinner with Jess, and then spend the night on the couch with her watching a good movie.

I think I may be able to fit one of those in in late December…

Let’s do a little catching up.

Thanskgiving, although a very long day, totally kicked ass. Jess and I slept in a bit in the morning, then woke up, had toast and hot chocolate for breakfast, and watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After that, I worked on the computer a bit and she wrapped some Christmas presents until we had to go to my parent’s house for dinner. Dinner there was good, and around 3pm, we left there and headed southeast to New Jersey. This is where it got interesting since we hit a very large snowstorm on the way there. Goign 40mph on the interstate is not good when you’re already running a wee bit behind. Anyway, we got there in plenty of time and had another most excellent dinner. We made it home by midnight so I could go to bed for work the next morning.

Black Friday was actually pretty tame this year. I’m used to mass chaos coming from an electronics background, and what we saw on Friday was nothing more then a busy Saturday in the summer. In fact, dollar wise, it was a lot tamer then that. After work, we went out for a nice celebration dinner. You see, I got 3 different bonuses in my paycheck on Friday. These only added up top be $110, but working for a company that gives yearly pay raises of about $0.15, this is a big deal. So, we went out to our favorite sushi place and had a nice little feast. Afterwardsm we went down to Blockbuster and rented ‘The Life and Death of Peter Sellers’. A strange, but excellent movie. I highly reccomend it.

Saturday and Sunday were spent doing various things. I had to work on Saturday morning, and after dinner, we went out and did some more Christmas shopping. I saw that Circuit City was running a sale on certain DVDs — 2 for $12 — so we went and added a few must have titles to our library. While I took care of that, Jess was over at Target picking up stuff for her family. I met her over there, picked up Christmas lights for the outside of the house, and a few presents for my family. After that, we headed back home and pretty much went to bed.

Sunday morning was spent catching up on some much needed sleep. As for the afternoon, I spent that getting all of my hunting gear together and putting up the outside Christmas lights. Jess spent the afternoon wrapping more Christmas presents, ordering her wedding dress (she finally found one!!), and going grocery shopping. We had nice dinner of steak and french fries before I left on my hunting trip.

Today was spent in the wood hunting that elusive whitetail deer. As has been the trend for the last several years, I managed to get myself one. Although I did almost have an opportunity for a nice 6 point buck (no clear shot), I did manage to get a nice sized doe. There are pics of her over at the moblog, but just in case you’re too lazy, I’ll post them right below.

We woke up this morning to a nice coating of snow. It’s almost all gone now, but it was nice to have this morning. In fact, last night at about 1am while I was watching the last disc of Lost, it started to snow. It was pretty cool since we had just put up the Christmas tree last night. They say the temp is supposed to drop and that we’re probably going to be getting more snow tonight. It should make the drive back from New Jersey a bit interesting since you have to drive through the Pocconos to get home.

Right now Jess is watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and wrapping Christmas presents. I just got done taking all of the boxes from the Christmas stuff back upstairs.

If this morning is any indication, today should be a pretty good day. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, we put up the g33k tr33 tonight. From what Jess as told me, this will most likely be the last year for a full out g33k tr33. I’ll still have all of my ornaments on there, but no more CDs, as these will be replaced with actual ornaments. That’s ok with me…at least I get to keep all of my Star Trek and Star Wars ornamnets up there!

I’m kinda tired right now, but I will try and get some pics up of it this weekend. Time to go to bed and dream of turkey…

In less than 24 hours, we will be feasting upon glorious mounds of thurkey, stuffing, sweet potatos, and apple pie!!!!

Kelly has been here since last night and was very upset she didn’t make one of my posts.

Done.

I’ve literally had the week from Hell at work. So, when I showed up this morning at 10am, I was once again bombarded by the flood of morons that love to patron our store. After about 20 minutes of this, I just couldn’t take it anymore. When one of the zone managers walked by and asked me if Iw as ok, without thinking, I said that I didn’t feel good. He looked at me, said we had more then enough coverage, and that I could go home if I wanted to. That was all the pushing and prodding I needed!!

So, I left there a little after 11am, and have been home since. I’ve played a little bit of Guild Wars, and now I’m doing a bit of research/reading.

I also have tomorrow off, which means I inadvertantly got the whole weekend off. What a shame…
