Let’s review my previous post where I listed what I wanted to do during my week off.

✓ catch up on sleep – I was able to sleep late each day until friday

✓ clean my extremely dirty car inside and out – I drove through a car wash so it’s cleaner. That’s one of my pet peeves of winter: paying to have your car washed and it’s still dirty afterwards. Of course it was 70 last weekend, so I could have washed it myself, but who has time for that? I also dusted off my dash, but I still need to vacuum out all the leaves in the floor. So I should probably just have half a check mark for this one.

✓ finish setting up my computer

✓✓ eat some turkey

✓ get up early on Black Friday to stand in line for something – Kristi and I were in line outside of Sears at 4:30 for a $10 giftcard.

✓ & x watch WKU beat Towson State and Florida – They beat Towson, but were killed by Florida

So it was a good week, and there were some extras. We put the Christmas tree up so I’m now in the Christmas spirit. And I have a cold. Yay!

Next week, I’m off to North Carolina for a training class. Kristi is going with me for a couple days and I think we’re going to drive down to Myrtle Beach. That’s one of my favorite places and I’ve never been in the winter.

Sooo… long time, no post. Lot’s of stuff going on.

Basketball season has finally arrived! The Toppers are doing great so far, including a win over Tennessee State today. There’s a lot of new players so Kristi and I have to come up with new names to keep them all straight. There’s O-Town, Chicken Legs, Chicken Neck, Desiree and MoMo just to name a few.

I have a new TV obsession: The Office. I rented season one a while back and then found a site with season two’s episodes and now I’m watching each week. It never fails to crack me up, and Team Pam all the way!

In music news, I bought the new Sugarland and Keith Urban cds. Both are really great. I loved Sugarland’s the first time I heard it. It’s taken a couple more times with Keith’s, but I now love it. There’s a lot of songs that I think will sound better live so maybe I’ll get to see him sometime next year.

I’m writing this post from my new computer which is very exciting at least for me. Dude, I got a Dell! I’ve even set up a wireless network with my old computer. I’m such a geek , but I’m really proud I was able to do it.

Probably the biggest news is that I’m off this week! 2 vacation days + 1 personal day + 2 paid holidays = no work. My goals for the week are to catch up on sleep (of course it’s after midnight now, so i’m not starting out so well), clean my extremely dirty car inside and out, finish setting up my computer, eat some turkey, get up early on Black Friday to stand in line for something (to be determined later), watch WKU beat Towson State and Florida.

In case there is no post before Thursday, have a happy thanksgiving!
