Thanksgiving was good this year. I was playing with Erick's hair and I styled it in a mohawk. He was messing it up and joking around, but then he really wanted me to style it that way, so I gelled the crap out of it and hair sprayed it until he'd have to sleep on it to make it come down. Which is pretty much what happened later when he took a nap. I'll post pictures later.

Thanksgiving happened to land on the anniversary day of my sister's death, so Adam and I had a good talk about her on the way to my In-laws' place for the Meal. That was actually the second or third time I met Adam, at my Mom's house. He heard about what happened and he came over and sat on my couch, while there were a ton of people coming and going and talking. I vaguely remember him, but thinking about what I know of him now... that was so sweet of him. He didn't even know me that well, and he went out of his comfort zone to comfort me. He must really like me, ha ha.

Before we ate, Adam helped his Dad rebuild the chicken-coop, and Erick looked like the rooster of all those hens. My mother-in-law cooked almost everything, except the pumpkin pie and green bean casserole, which I did. I didn't make my traditional Thanksgiving deviled eggs, but I don't think I had room for anything else. It was so good. Then we played BUGOPOLY,a spoof on Monopoly. Adam's dad is an entomologist and well, he wound up winning. Not because of his knowledge of bugs, but because of his sweet real estate skills. I was really rich at one time, but Adam totally knocked me out with his Bug cage-houses and his Tree-hotels. It was fun.

Midnight Madness

There is a huge fan base for the Twilight Series among the woman in my church. We had it scheduled on our book club list, which not many people actually showed up for, but I think that was due to that it was around dinner time. But we all worked out our schedules to go to the 12:00 showing of Twilight Thursday, or should I say Friday. It was awesome!! I keep hearing on the news about teenagers and how they are making this movie so popular. Hello? How about us...

I thought it was great. I was afraid of it possibly being cheesy, but I didn't notice so much for the swooning of Edward and... Carlisle *sigh* I was surprised that I was okay with the movie's portrayal of the characters, because when I first Googled all about the movie, I wasn't happy with the cast. I must comment however on Rosalie's butt. It was pretty big, and I'm only saying that because she really stood out to me as not fitting with my mental picture of Rosalie. But maybe it's the animosity that I have toward her character anyway. And if you are concerned about my Twilight-obsession, pick up a copy for yourself... in fact you can borrow mine. (They're really my mom's.)

I'm sick today, I just want to go back to bed. Both of my babies are sick to. It started with Erick and then went to Tripp. Probably because when Erick sees Tripp's pacifier on the floor, he picks it up, blows it off, and gives it to me. But his blowing is really spitting, I know.. it's gross. And sometimes Erick likes to pretend that he is a puppy, so he runs around on all fours barking and retrieving things for me. I asked to find the pacifier and I saw him trying to pick it up with his teeth, and really trying hard not to use his hands which aided him in the end. Now I have a cold. I don't feel any better since yesterday, but I don't feel worse. I have a tendency of eating after Erick, I know.. gross, but in my defense Tripp sneezes on my without warning- in my hair, on my hands, and yes... in my face. His germs wind up on me anyway, because I nurse, but usually I don't ever get sick. So, sorry Michelle. Whereas I don't have migraines, but I'm sure they aren't good, I'll be sick with you.
