But we had fun anyway
Scott, my brother-in-law Pete, nephew Michael and I all went to the CU/Nebraska football game today. It didn't end how I had hoped, but it was still a ton of fun. It was super warm and I got sunburned! We had a great time pregame tailgating, and even though we were stuck in a section with mainly Nebraska fan, we made friends with foes and just enjoyed the day. Hope you all had a great day after Thanksgiving - whether it be shopping in the wee hours of the morning, or enjoying a football game.

Two years ago I stood in line in the freezing cold to get into Target for an $89 point and shoot Kodak camera. I got it. I got coffee. I got back into bed at 6:30. Last year, Viole

I'm thankful
I am thankful each and every day of the year, not just Thanksgiving.I am thankful for my beautiful little girl. I'm thankful for her health, her personality, her kisses, her hugs, her high-fives, her giggles, her tantrums, her determination, her love of the kitties, her curiosity, and her spunk. Nothing in the World can compare to picking her up and having her lay her little head on my shoulder to snuggle in with me. If I could bottle that up and keep it forever, I would.I am thankful for my husband, who puts up with me even on my worst days. He is supportive, caring, and loving. He may think I'm batshitcrazy sometimes, but he knows better than to make it worse. I am
