Everything is good. The cats are good. The dog is good. The boyfriend is good. The house is good. I'm good. Thanksgiving has come and gone, and it was good too. It's definitely one of my favorite holidays, because I really, truly love eating good food, and there is always an abundance of it on Thanksgiving and for about a week after. I wait all year for yams and sweet potatoes! Ohhh I love them! I spent this Thanksgiving with Christopher's family, and my cousin Brie joined us too! Ellie came, and spent ALL of her time prancing around in the kitchen waiting for food to drop. She has blossomed into an amazing squishy faced cuddly baby. She's the best! I'm looking into getting her certified as a therapy dog, for a couple of reasons. One reason is that she's super sweet and loves people, and people love her, so it would be nice to spend a little time touring hospitals or elderly care facilities and making people happy. Another reason is that she is very intensely clingy, and I feel bad leaving her home alone. As a therapy dog, she could go into public places with me, and I think that would be nice for her.
In other news, I put up our Christmas tree! It always makes our home feel so festive! It's also a good reminder that I need to FINISH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, which I totally haven't done yet! Christopher has recieved his present, a PS3. It was purchased on black friday at the Best Buy Christopher works at, so it seemed pretty silly to hide it from him til Christmas, since he knew I got it and all. Home life has been the same as usual. I've been feeling a tad under the weather lately. I'm not sick though... I'm just fighting the urge to hibernate for the winter. :) I'm really not a fan of cold weather. Today I spent all morning relaxing and staying warm! I had a hot bath, and then cuddled on the couch with Ellie watching "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC. I really don't like the drama of that show, but I LOVE looking at wedding dresses! I don't have one
picked out for myself yet (which isn't a big deal, because I also don't have a ring yet..... hint hint...) but I DO know that my wedding dress will not be acceptable unless I have a GIANT BOW on my butt! The bigger the better. There are very few occasions in which butt-bows are allowed, so I'm going to make the most of my wedding day. TLC is a bad channel for me to watch... it always makes me cry, and usually makes me whine about getting married or having babies or needing prettier clothes. I don't usually
whine about the babies thing anymore, because I have a substitue dog-baby that works just as well. I can feed her, clean her, play with her, and cuddle her, and she loves me. What more do I need in a baby?! She's way cheap too, as far as babies go. I don't have to buy expensive clothes, because she's naked most of the time anyway. She doesn't need diapers, because I taught her to go in the yard. She'll never get any bigger than her 13ish pounds. I don't think there is any human baby that holds a candle to that! So THAT'S MY UPDATE for now! I'm going to go back to drinking tea and perusing the internet!
