Week in Review

This is what you've been waiting for! Sorry I'm late.....Kelly....haha, since you are the only soul the read this. And perhaps you have quit...who knows.

So last Thursday was the holy Thanksgiving. And how wonderful of a day it was. The whole weekend was great. I suppose I'll start at the beginning. Getting out of work for Thursday and Friday was a dream come true.

Thanksgiving was perfect. So much food and family. I couldn't have imagined it better. And after I ate with Stephanie and my whole crazy family, me and Steph got the pleasure of going to her house to do it all over again. What's better than Thanksgiving dinner?? Two of them.

I ate until I was just about ill. Which is a beautiful thing. And we had some lovely conversation. The next day is when all the action started, though. For the next day was the dreaded Turkey Bowl!

The Turkey Bowl is a football game that we play here in Elyria under any weather conditions. Everyone is welcome and 26 came out this year. This was the 4th annual and everyone was looking forward to it. There were some great hit and lots of mud. The temperature was low but didn't bother anyone much. I played quarterback even though I sucked and didn't want to. My team won 8-4.

The after party (or the Gobble Games as we call it) was also great. We went to Koster Lanes which is a small bowling alley/bar. We felt quite out of place as the regulars didn't know what to think of us. But we drank and bowled and had a good time. Many people came out to that and it was great to see everyone.

The rest of the weekend was quiet but nice. Steph and I sat around mostly and did nothing. We went to a few more bars and I bought a fly fishing rod. That is the highlight!

The Cleveland Browns won in simple football fashion which was nice to see. OSU Buckeyes snuck up to 3rd in the BCS and Mizzou and West Virginia both have games next week. If either lose then OSU will likely bump to number 2 and play in the Championship. Woot.

Today was back to work as usual and it was exactly the same as usual. Nothing exciting. I have some things to finish up around the house but it's going to be a quiet week. I am looking forward to it.
