We Made It!
We survived! We managed to get through Thanksgiving and not to get sucked too far into the Mac vs. PC debate, or get into trouble on the variety of political issues the family members brought up over dinner. We don’t tend to come down on the same side of very many issues…
The highlight of the evening was definitely when my father-in-law said the dinner prayer, and called God the Master of the Universe. It was all we could do to hold off laughing til the end of the prayer. By the power of Gray Skull! *gigglesnort*
Best Thanksgiving Dessert Ever*
Hopefully I don’t get in trouble for posting this since it’s my husband’s family tradition and not mine… but it’s the world’s best Thanksgiving Dessert!*
*According to my husband, and his sister, and his aunt, and pretty much every other person who’s ever eaten it.
Library
The book I reserved made its way to my local library today. The husband took me over after work to pick it up. I haven’t started reading it yet, and there’s really no guarantee I’ll finish it, but that’s sort of the beauty of libraries. If it doesn’t meet my needs, I can just give it back.
I got The Elements of Persuasion, and I picked it for two reasons. First and foremost, it’s a book about storytelling. While I make one heck of an audience, I am not a natural storyteller and this is something I would like to learn more about. Second, it’s a book about selling, which is something I’ve learned painfully little about in my business management related classes.
Hopefully it teaches me something, but if not, there will be many more books to try.
Community College
I hope it can be established that I’m not a total idiot. I think it’s also fair to say that I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree. Thing is, sometimes attending community college makes me feel like a freakin’ rocket scientist. We got our second test back in my Legal Environment of Business class tonight. I got the highest grade. Again. At least this time he didn’t announce my name… he just said what the highest points earned was, and it matched what was on my paper. Anyway, I had to read two of my essay answers aloud, and I promise you these were not stellar essays. But, they still managed to be the best in the class.
It’s a really excellent thing that I follow lots of brilliant people on Google+… they help keep me grounded/keep my head from growing ridiculously large for no good reason.
It’s Coming!
It’s nearly time to put up the holiday decorations! And it’s nearly time for all of my favorite Muppet specials and movies! A Muppet Christmas Carol, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas, A Muppet Family Christmas, etc. ect. Considering the album John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together came out mere months after my birth, it seems natural that Christmas and Muppets go together for me like bacon and eggs.
