So we splurged, and bought Rock Band today ..

It pretty much kicks ass.. We played it for over 2 hours before realizing that time had gone by incredibly fast, and we hadn’t eaten dinner..

Mike is very good at the guitar part (he was pretty good at Guitar Hero II as well) .. and I pretty much suck at all of it.. Okay, so I can KIND of do the bass… I can do some of the drums on EASY, but not too well.. and I can sing.. I don’t sound good, but I can hit the right pitch, so the game thinks I’m awesome.  I gotta say though, the drums are HARD… seriously.. the kick pedal about kills your foot… makes me feel like I’m going to get tarsal tunnel (can you get that? instead of carpal?) ... crazy stuff..

In fact, it’s now 1:07am, and Mike is rocking out to some Nirvana…

So Thanksgiving is in 2 days… That pleases me to no end.. Not only do I get to spend the day with Mike, both of my sisters, nephew and friend Michelle.. We’re so going to put ourselves into a food coma (yes, I AM Thankful for food.) .. But I get 5, yes count them, 5 days off of work.  PAID!  I’m taking tomorrow off to run a friend to the airport and then pick up my sister and nephew.. Then us girls (the sisters and I) and nephew are gonna just dink around town, getting stuff ready, hanging out etc.

I’m very excited for all the fun stuff we have planned this busy weekend.  It will be nice to just hang out with friends and family

More details on Sunday I’m sure!

Hope everyone else has a Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

This has been a very nice and relaxing weekend..

After work on Friday a few of us went out for happy hour.. Tried to go to Paddy’s but it was packed.. so we wandered up the street to the Yamhill ... wow, talk about a dive bar.. I hadn’t been to a place that tiny since the days in Spokane ... it was interesting.. nothing like $4 pitchers of PBR.. hah.  There were about 10 of us, and we took up about 1/2 the bar.. it was funtimes.. We left there and I took Jodi home, then headed home myself to hang out at home and watch tv

Saturday was spent just hanging out at home.. I made us some waffles for breakfast and we watched a few episodes of Smallville.. I made us some yummy steak with sauteed mushrooms, baked potato and broccoli.. it was so good..

Today has been pretty much the same, hanging out at home.. doing a bunch of laundry, made some steak fajitas for dinner.. and then we made chocolate chip cookies for dessert.. mmm.. I also rented Ratatouille and Evan Almighty.. both funny and cute movies I think I’m going to have to put Ratatouille on my Christmas Wish List.. loved that movie

Now it’s bedtime
