Thanksgiving aside, this week has consisted of me being glued to the couch in front of my computer, munching on crackers and ice cream, reading fashion blogs and ogling tumblr's instead of working on my term paper.
Yeah.
Thanksgiving was lots of fun.
We drove the 5 hours up to Idaho with no car stereo, and if you know how much of music geeks Matt and I are, you know that it was a miracle we didn't go insane.
It was neat to see Idaho, Rexburg is a super cute town.
The problem with going there right after a blizzard is the streets were practically paved with ice and snow and it stayed well below freezing the whole time we were there.
I liked the trip though, and now that's one more state I've been to!

My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, so that means I need to finish my paper this weekend.
What's funny is I never could have imagined that this was what my senior year would be like,
a scrambling to get things done in the wake of medical problems.
At least life is never boring, huh?
Cause if we knew everything like how it would happen, that would be boring.
Anyways, here's to a good night of writing!

Here's to writing until I feel like writing again.
So, Thanksgiving is coming up,
and even though somehow the story of pilgrims and indians makes me a little uncomfortable inside,
I find it easy to enjoy the holiday nonetheless
you know, cause it's a good reminder to take time and think of all we have to be thankful for.

I'm getting wrist surgery sometime within the next month
and will not be able to use my right hand for a while.
(and, by the way, I'm right-handed)
It's kind of a daunting idea but
it's been more fulfilling and rather more necessary than usual
to remember all I have, instead of focusing on what I don't have.

For one,
I am grateful for maple sugar candy, and family that loves us
and a nice husband who will share his birthday present with me
and let me eat his candy
:)
