'Twis the month before Christmas and all is crazy!

Yesterday, I went into a party store to pick up gingerbread cookies for some kids I know and the place was overwhelmingly packed. It was swarming with people. This was at 4:45 on a Saturday afternoon. People were buying Christmas cards, Christmas cakes, Christmas paper, Christmas balloons, Christmas cookies, Christmas bows, miniature Santa Clauses, Hanukkah stuff galore... It was crazy. I wanted 3 cookies. Just 3. I would have gone somewhere else once I saw how crowded the place was but this place has the best cookies in town. Good thing the kids LOVED them.

Thanksgiving was great. Brad's mom and stepdad came into town and we had a blast. I found a happy balance between sweating over my laptop and 20 gazzillion paper/projects and spending some relaxing time with the family. We put up our Christmas tree, drank egg nog and Port, and watched Christmas movies. You'd have thought we were a bunch of overgrown kids. Hmm...maybe we are...maybe we all are...

We saw a hawk suffocate a pigeon with one hand and then fly off with it in its beak. That was strange.

Brad PRed yesterday. Ran a 16:01 5k. Yay.

Pictures to come. Found my camera. Well, Brad found it.

Luke comes into town soon!!!!!!!! 2 week!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!
