Gobble Gobble

Man, I can't believe the 4-day weekend is already over.

Thursday morning Marc and I went to go pick up pies for Thanksgiving dinner. Marc went to Marie Callender's to pick up banana cream, lemon meringue, and apple, and I went to Baker's Square to get their yummy Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme pie. Marc spent most of the day at his brother's house, so I bummed around our house for a while. Then we went to my Aunt Judy's house for dinner.

We had a LOT of food. My mom made the turkey, and it turned out pretty good. We always have a mix of your traditional ham and turkey and Chinese food. Which actually turns out to be a pretty good meal. A couple of my aunts came up from Texas, so we had a pretty big family gathering. Afterwards, us "kids" went and played some 90's Trivial Pursuit before heading home.

Friday is pretty blurry for me...I can't really remember what we did that day. I think we spent a good part of the day at Steve and Erin's house. Which I think is right, because I remember watching the Texas/Texas A&M game there. That's right, Marc's cousin and aunt came by to visit that day.

Saturday morning we got up really early and drove down in the pouring rain to San Jose to meet up with Melanie and her boyfriend. We drove down to Santa Cruz together (thankfully the rain had stopped) to take Lucas and Bandit to the beach. Bandit had a blast chasing the other dogs up and down the beach, while Lucas dug holes in the sand. I felt bad for Lucas because he always gets jealous when Bandit's playing with other dogs, and Bandit always ignores him when other dogs are around. There were a couple times when Bandit was chasing another dog and Lucas would just run up and slam into Bandit. I think one time Bandit got the wind knocked out of him, because he kind of sat down for a bit, lol.

We were there for about an hour when these people showed up with some little kids, so it was time to go. It was fun though - cold, but a blast for the dogs.

After lunch I took Bandit sheep herding while Marc stayed home to nap. I have to admit I got pretty frustrated this week because he just wasn't minding my commands. Jan seems to think we're doing alright though, so I trust her judgement.

In the evening Marc had to go help with his mom, so I went to my parents' house for a post-Thanksgiving dinner. I brought Bandit with me, who was pretty pooped from a long day of fun dog stuff. Harvey was pretty excited to see him.

Dinner was good, although we had some drama (of course) and the party ended a little early. I stayed to help clean up a bit and chatted a while with my brothers and parents. My dad's done more of the house with the Pergo floors, and it's looking pretty good now. I got home around 12:30 am, and the dog and I were both snoozing pretty quickly.

Sunday morning I went down to Steve and Erin's house to help Erin while Marc, Steve and Jacob went to the 49er game. Erin and I played some Scrabble (my best word was "envious," which is what Erin probably was after I beat her, muahahaha ;)) and watched the game on TV. The Niners were playing Miami, so it was a pretty pathetic game.

When the guys got back we had pizza for dinner, and I went home while Marc stayed again overnight. I played on the computer for a while, did laundry, and went to bed.

Oh, and I got two new purses and a new wallet this weekend! I'm very excited, although I can't decide which purse to use first, hehe.

Hope everyone else had a good Thanksgiving. :)
