So apparently I find time to Blog about, what, once a month? And then I have a bazillion things to write about and then nobody wants to read it because it's so flippin long. So I'll try to sum up. Here's the rest of November:
11/19/08 I finished reading "The Host". I liked it, but I think liked Twilight better. So those endangered species of Twilight-haters out there might like it better. I definitely thought it was interesting and worth reading though.
Jared finished his bowling season. I was fun watching his games. He did so well. Thanks for visiting once Lindz! I still want a re-match on Canadian Speed. I mean...we were watching the bowling match the WHOLE time...what?
11/22/08 Jared's brother Rob, his wife Karen, and their family came to visit. It's always good to see them and their cute girls.
11/23/08 Our friends from Albania and Kosovo invited us over for dinner. It was a lot of fun and the food was outstanding! Especially this spinach pie made with Filo bread. Mmmm. I ate way too much.
11/26/08 My dad's in town! Yay! We met him and VeNicia and JaNel & her fam at the Hoggle Zoo. They had a free Zoo day. Most of the animals were hiding or sleeping, but one tiger apparently didn't get the 'free zoo day, don't be interesting' memo. (See the short video below. It was crazy! --Sorry about the quality.) It was cold, but fun. They were putting up a lot of the lights etc for their "Zoo Lights". Then we went to eat at TGI Fridays. Yum.
11/27/08 Thanksgiving!! We played tennis with the Hibberts (my niece & her husband). Some of us were more excited to be playing in the cold than others. So some of us played better than others. And some of us smoked the other team! But I won't mention any names. Then we carpooled up to my sister JaNel's house. My Dad was there, my sister VeNicia, my brother Barry, and his wife Rita. JaNel's kids made the cutest little place mats and Oreo turkeys. There was so much good food. I ate way too much, and didn't regret one bite. We played games and my niece Kaley made a cameo. It was so nice to spend time with everyone. Then some of us stayed and watched 'Music and Lyrics'. (It was funny because we had all of our stuff gathered, and our jackets on, saying our goodbyes and then some one said "Wanna watcha movie?" And we all said yes and took our coats off and headed downstairs.) That music video intro cracks me up.
