oops getting into bad habit
of not posting for days.
And, of course, boss had a 9:30 meeting so he's here already so I'll be typing this up at random times.
Last Thursday's happy was that I wrote the fic due that night that I'd struggled with due to getting an assignment outside my comfort zone. Not so happy was that I wrote it during the Chiefs' stupid loss to the Raiders. Yeah, we let the only team with zero wins beat us. They scored two rushing touchdowns in the first half whereas we hadn't given up a rushing touchdown all year. I should have known we were doomed at that point.
Friday was busy and I actually made it out to my parents' for dinner and work. Dad and I discussed the idiots on the KU sports boards so I guess that was fun and happy.
On Saturday mom and I ventured into the mist and fog to go to a couple holiday open houses downtown and other places. I got a pound of the wonderful "Jack Frost" coffee I got last year, flavored with something I can't figure out. I also got my drink exchange drinks bought and a couple booze themed Secret Ho gifts. I only bought one item at Pendletons--a snowman holder with some purple dried flowers that was only $29. Shopping (and not spending a lot of money) made me happy.
KU losing so embarrassingly to OU in the rain did not. Football was generally boring. I dozed through a lot of it.
I did manage to get a variety of ages and genders sorted out for Sunday's Thanksgiving Service. I had a hell of a time getting readers for the children's story--I wanted a couple--but Denise finally got back to me Friday night that she and Chris would do it. It was a cute story about vegetables and the kids placed the corresponding ones on the Harvest Table.
The choir was asked to sing at the 9:30 program as well so we had to be there at 9:00 to practice. Blech. The program was pretty dull, though we sang Cantate Hodie which we've sung many times. The Service was very nice, good sermon, nice blend of music. We sang a song called Thanksgiving Song by Martina McBride (I think, some country person). It finally came together. Sunday's happy was Thanksgiving Service. We had a really good turnout, too.
I did not stay for the meal.
Instead of cleaning, I dozed through most of the afternoon football games (damn Denver for coming back and winning). Watched a few things I'd recorded, read some fanfic. Was very lazy.
Three day work week this week, yay! KU basketball tonight. I need to go to the post office to mail my drinks package. I mailed the book one directly from Amazon. Oh got mine, as well, an interesting historical/supernatural novel that was turned into a move last year that I'm blanking on the name of. Debating over whether or not to go to the grocery tonight or tomorrow. If I wait, I won't hit the game traffic and can do a load of laundry and some tidying before dad gets there.
Working on the monthly billing today, probably should get back to that.
