Speaking of being thankful, last week, I took off after Monday when my big grant was due. I thought I'd update you on my vacation--most of which was spent being totally lazy!
- I took the girls to see Marie Antoinette and then to eat lunch at Chili's. The movie was just ok...it was a weird mix of historical artsy film and "catch the teens and 20 somethings by loud music and Kirstin Dunst."
- I finished To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
- I ate Thanksgiving dinner with my family--which was just so-so, everything besides the turkey was really good, but the turkey was awful.
- I watched SEVERAL games of college ball on tv. Loved seeing my Aggies win.
- We put up our Christmas tree--it's very pretty...red and silver this year, though I discovered I was low on silver ornaments. Have ordered some and hope to have them up soon.
- Went to my birthday dinner with the family. I had a rib-eye with steak and scallops. It was quite yummy.
- I went shopping for Christmas presents--I only had to buy two this year, and I'm DONE!
- I slept until at least 9am every day.
- I solved the mystery of the non-delivered birthday flowers. For some reason they were delivered to my office, so we came to get them on Sat. afternoon. Then last night I sat up with my kitty who had decided to eat one of the lilies, much to her stomach's distress!
- I started a new book, Abundance by Sena Jeter Naslund. It's about Marie Antoinette and SO much more interesting than the movie was.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I missed seeing my family!

We missed you very much. I had a play and the girls would have been great in their parts.
