We celebrated Mom's birthday on Wednesday (see ice cream pie below). Even though Sarah is deployed to some unknown location, she managed to send a bountiful gift. I managed to make a few coupons reminiscent of grade school gifting. I'd like to think I was a bit of a help, especially when it comes to luring others into the wonderful world of blogging. The New Zealand blog is up and running at

We had a proper Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. The day began with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We started the meal off with a prayer and acknowledging the
five kernels of corn at our plates. It was great to hear from Sarah via satellite phone! We ended the day of relaxation with White Christmas and Love Actually.
I bought a DVD at Borders on Black Friday, but otherwise the shopping was pretty minimal. On a very positive note, I was able to meet up with Chelsey. There's nothing like catching up with an old, true friend. We fell easily into conversation and the time flew by. It's too bad Texas and Utah are so far apart! After saying farewell to Sam and bon voyage to Mom and Dad, I flew back to Houston on Saturday and have been getting into the holiday spirit. I went to church and made an advent wreath then continued to spread the Christmas cheer with a bit of decorating around the condo.
Classes pick up again tomorrow with age-related diseases and genetics. I have a feeling it's going to be a sprint to the finish until December 18th. In the words of Margo Channing, "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night!"
