The rest of Wednesday was spent staying up late, packing, and watching the rest of the entire first season of Glee.
Woke up somewhat early on Thursday (~9am), finished packing, and went in to work for about 45 minutes. Then went home, put all the stuff in my car, put the rats in the passenger seat, and headed down to Rochester. Got home a little after 11 am and sat around with the family and had fun reintroducing the rats to Belle. Had the delicious Thanksgiving turkey meal around 1pm and then I can't even remember what we did the rest of the night.
Megan and I stayed up late, then all the girls woke up at 4:30 am on Friday. We headed over to Menards and waited outside in line in the freezing cold. It opened at 6 and a bit before then mom chatted up the security and found out where they were keeping the TVs (22" flatscreen for $100). As soon as the doors opened Sara and I rushed in to the spot while mom and Megan grabbed a car and we managed to get 4 TVs, 2 DVD players, 2 PUR water filters, and 1 bathroom scale. I got one of everything except the DVD player. We piled all the purchases into my car and then I drove home while the other 3 went on to more shopping. I got home and slowly brought in all the purchases. It wasn't until I brought in the last load however that dad woke up and came down to see what all the ruckus was about. Convenient timing I say. Went back to bed then for 4-5 hours. Later on Friday (~4pm) mom took us girls out to see Burlesque. I really liked it! It was a very basic plot, no real new excitement there, but man Christina Aguilera can SING!
I just took a 5 hour break here and completely lost track of what I was doing.
Okay so after the movie I don't remember at all what happened other than probably watching Animal Planet (Life) with Megan and Sara and making more Sneak-a-bite cookie dough. It didn't turn out very well though because I melted the butter a little too much. Then Belle stuck her nose in the bowl and we were done with it.
On Saturday I got up and called Jackie and she came over. We played with Belle and decided to go eat at Green Mill. Spent a long time there chatting about our lives and eating calzones (pretty good) but eventually she had to head out to go to the Holidazzle parade. Saturday evening Sara, Megan, and I met dad at BWW's but it was too busy so we went over to Culver's to eat instead. Ah my old Culver's, how I miss the people but not the actual job. I miss the discount too, but oh well. Don't remember Saturday night but probably more of the same.
Sunday I got up and went off to Noodles to have lunch with Hannah. We sat there and talked all through the lunch hour and beyond and probably could have kept going if I hadn't needed to get on the road. Went home, picked up Sara and packed all my stuff in the car, and headed back to Minneapolis. I discovered immediately that my cruise control wasn't working so I'm going to need to talk to Jordan about that. Got home, unpacked, and then Nathan came over for a bit and we watched Star Trek on my new TV - it was awesome.
Monday I got up, went to work, and had very little to do. After work I bummed around for a bit and then went over and hung out at Nathan's for awhile - watched some Big Bang Theory. Then Nathan, Chris, and I went over to the Cub Foods near their house and went grocery shopping! Although as soon as we got through the door those two took off and left me to my lonely self. It was fine though - I finally have food now and I don't know what to do with myself! Drove home in the rain, started unloading my car and one of the cheap paper bags broke on me. Was a very stressful end to the day.
Today (Tuesday) I got up, went to work, actually spent the whole day working, came home, and did nothing. While I'm often a fan of nothing, today it feels pretty lame. Played some games, watched some TV (Happy Feet!!), ate good food, and otherwise accomplished nothing. Although earlier today I did finally file a claim against the Half.com seller that never sent me the textbook I paid for (I also ordered another textbook from someone else - someone with 100% positive reviews). So I'm hoping that gets resolved.
Well I think that's it for now. My rats are being adorable and clamoring for my attention so I'm going to go give them some love and then shower and hit the sack.
Goodnight and good luck!
