Thanksgiving visit

We had a really nice thanksgiving. Dad made it in a little early tuesday and Carlton and his family arrived late wednesday evening. We enjoyed the fried turkey, it was really moist and surpising to me, went well with dressing (smoked turkey does not, so I don't like having it on thanksgiving). Alex and Amanda had a great time and I hope they come stay for a while this summer. Shawn brought Shae over for a while, it was nice for everyone to meet her, they are usually over at Dennis and Rachel's. They also went to her Aunts and then came back. Dennis and Rachel stopped by for a while, but they missed meeting Carleton and Laura.

I have only hunted once this week (yesterday morning) I saw four doe. I shot at one a missed. It was cold and I was sssshhhiiivvering. I pulled or shivered when I shot so I knew I missed her. 3 Other deer ran in behind her. I waited a while and went to check on her and they were all still in the woods right there, oh well, that is hunting! I wanted to go this morning, but was up worrying about school work so I figured it is time to get back to reality. I'm going to have a busy week, well the next few weeks should be busy. I've got to work on my next chapter in reading (and finish reading the first). Do my internet field trip and report, start researching for the 'football stadium' EIS we have to make, study for a quiz in SPED, and work on a project for ecology. And clean the house back up. Oh and get ready for GA's tomorrow. And wrap the presents I bought yesterday.

Rachel, Amberly and I had a nice time shopping yesterday. We left around 11 or so. We only made a few stops and avoided you- oh I mean 'the' crazy people ;-P. We went to Sam's, Show Carnival, Gander mtn., Lowe's and the mall. We made a stop at walmart on the way in for a few groceries and wrapping paper of course. We of course had to eat at Amigo Juan's, although we almost went to red lobster. Rachel and I had a shrimp dish there and it was goooodddd. Amberly got her ears pierced (3rd time's the charm right?). Aeropostale had everything 50-50% off so we got a few good buys there.

It's time now to hit the elliptical hard! I haven't been on it all week, it's been so busy. I've got to really start watching what I eat too. OY-everything is getting tight. OK I better get to work or it would do me no good to skip hunting.... and I want to hunt this evening...
