Happy Thanksgiving and Stuff :-)

Yes, I know that lately I suck at blogging. Sorry!

Okay, here goes...

Thanksgiving in San Diego was fun. I loved seeing my family and Quentin was really happy to see his Dad. But, with as much fun as we were having we ended up having to come home a day early because I got sick. Quentin had a cold earlier in the week and at first I just thought I'd caught his cold, but I took a turn for the worse and ended up with Bronchitis. Yuck! Time off from my new job, antibiotics, Robitussin with Codien, and an inhaler later I'm back to normal. As normal as can be for me anyway. I think what made it worse was the sitting out in the cold at the Day After Thanksgiving sales. I'm seriously considering not doing it next year.
Christmas is quickly approaching and all of the parties have begun. I was going to go to Gregory's Christmas Party this past weekend, but he cancelled it due to weather. It made me very sad. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone. I did get to go to lunch with Barbi and Jeanne though and as usual they cracked me up. I've posted a picture of us and I'm sure it's going to make Jeanne mad. I think she looks cute, but she seems to think she looks like a linebacker. I miss you guys and your daily antics. Quentin went to a party while we were there. He informed me that he only ate two cookies. I was impressed. Then, after a long pause, he added the fact that he ate about 10 little brownies! But, he said don't worry because he didn't eat them all at once. He let some settle and then he had more! Well, at least he knows how to pace himself. This week there are a few parties at work and last week my boss took about 20 of us out to dinner. I'm sure that by the end of the season I'll be partied out.

Andrew and I went to dinner at the Peppery and it was surprisingly good. And, even more surprising was the fact that it was somewhat quiet! It's always so loud in that place. We also went to a movie. We saw the new Sandra Bullock movie, The Blind Side. It's based on a true story about a man named Michael Oher (I don't know if I spelled that right). He went from being basically homeless when he was young to being a current player in the NFL. It is a wonderful movie! Sandra Bullock did a great job. Tim McGraw plays the role of her husband and he didn't do too bad either.
Have I mentioned how sweet Andrew is? I forgot to bring my hair dryer with me when I went to visit and he got up Sunday morning and drove to Wal-Mart and bought me a hair dryer while I was in the shower. It could possibly have been because he was hungry and I wouldn't go out to breakfast looking like a mess with shower hair, but whatever the reason, it was nice of him and I appreciated it. (He's probably not going to appreciate that blog post.) ;-)

Here's a random fact for the end of my post. I love football season for many reasons, but this year I love it a lot because Quentin says "thumble" instead of "fumble". Isn't it cute?! I know I should correct him, but I love it when he says it.

For the record, I do look like a linebacker. (With nice boobs.) You suck for posting this picture, but I'll forgive you because it's Christmas time and all. :-)
