Thanksgiving...

[shinelumiere]

Thanksgiving was, as always, interesting.

The guy's redid my eldests nephews bedroom, put up drywall, fixed holes, put in new carpet and painted it up nice. The end result looked like a hotel room, though I'm sure once my nephew finishes putting all his stuff back in the room, and if he acctually does do art on the walls like he wants to, it'll lose that effect.

We went shopping on Black Friday. We also went out a bit on Thursday night, despite mom's ranting, simply because the stores put so many of the deals that my sister in laws needed, that you had to go out to get them. There was much ranting to be had, all around. While I don't share my aunts feelings of boycotting the stores that open on Thanksgiving day(as in, will not shop in at all, no matter time of year) I do agree that stores don't need to open on the day, but thats a rant for a different time.

I got 4 of my 5 neices and nephews their gift. I'd have gotten all 5, but I found out after I got the last one, he's already gotten at least 3 different gifts of the same item, just in different colors *facepalm* (though it'd have been nice of his mother to not have been a crank pot and been in the store so I couldn've checked with her before I bought it <.<)

I got myself a new pair of holiday earrings. I'm sure nochick_fics is going to make comments on my not needing any more, and trust me, I tell myself that repeatedly, but it only works so long. These were worth it though.

 

Now I just need to figure out what I'm gonna get my eldest nephew(and return the thing I already got) and get all the materials together for the things I'm making for my brothers and their wives (we decided to do home-made things between sibs because it was "easier" but I'm not so sure about that....)

I had a head cold before we left for NC that was moving into my chest, and rather than suffer through coughing up a lung every night like last year, only to end up needing to have an antibiotic when I got home anyway, I called my Dr's annswering service and the Dr on call(cause it was a saturday) called in a prescripion, and we picked it up. I took it of course, and it wiped out that infection that was brewing.

Unfortunatly, now my body's trying to catch something else, though this one seems to be holding at excess nasal production and an off/on sore throat.....

I finally tried out the neti pot thats been sitting in our bathroom closet for about a year XD Every time I'd remember we had one, and would pull it out to use it, I would be called away to do something, and forget it for a bit, and mom would in the meantime stick it back up in the top shelf, out of everyday sight. I'm still not entirely sure what I think of the process, but that mostly comes down to I'm not sure if I'm pouring too fast or too slow. I do know that it has helped alot with the....whatever's trying to brew in my sinus/throat area now.

Thats all I can think of at the moment. I've thought about trying to do some of the Meme's going around, but haven't been able to work up the energy to do so, sorry.

I'm really not sure what I think of the new LJ posting set up here either...

Well, at least the addiction doesn't seem to have reached your lip balm levels just yet.


Seriously going to have an intervention for you one day... :P

(PS: those are cuuuute!)

;) That's the other way round, I've got at least 2 pairs of earrings for each lip balm I've got XD. If you count all my earrings, and not just the holiday ones anyway.
