Well, after all the bitching and drama my Thanksgiving didn't turn out so bad. I survived. The bottle of wine I drank really helped but I made it through. The holidays are getting harder and this one just really got to me. I think I just feel such a void, like something is missing, and it makes it tough to deal with. But, I always manage to keep on keepin' on.
I can't believe we're already to the end of the holiday weekend. These four days pretty much flew by. I managed to do a lot of relaxing but also squeezed in some chores too. On Friday I hung out around the house and cleaned up and pulled our Christmas decorations out. We keep the majority of our decorations in a big Rubbermaid tub out in our shed. I dug out the tub and opened it up to go through everything but when I took the lid off, the tub was wet and very smelly. There was a crack in the bottom of the container and we think when our shed flooded during the hurricane this summer the water must have gotten in. There was mold everywhere! Our stockings, the tree skirt, all the lights, some of the ornaments... all covered with disgusting, smelly mold. I was so disappointed. Luckily we keep our nice ornaments in Ziploc bags so those are all ok but we had to start over on everything else.
I was in a very Scrooge mood on Saturday so Joe put the tree up for me. Once he got the new lights on and the new tree skirt under it we took a break to watch the Florida State/Florida game. What a disaster. I was so freaking pissed off. I hate the Gators more than anything and they just served up an ass whooping. My Seminoles managed to score 15 measly points so it wasn't a shutout but it was still sad. We were so sick of watching the game that we turned it off at half time, turned on the 80's music and finished decorating the tree. Even though we lost a bunch of ornaments, the tree still turned out really nice. We also put up our Christmas village and added a new piece this year. We got "The Campbell House" which is an homage to my sister-in-law and her husband who are Campbell's. It was too perfect not to get.
Today has been yucky and windy and rainy all day. We were hoping to get the lights up on the house but had to postpone that to next weekend. But we made a big pot of chili and watched the Bucs game and are just hanging out getting ready for Monday. We don't have anything too exciting planned for this week but next Monday is Joe's 30th birthday!!! He's pretty pumped because the Bucs play the Carolina Panthers (HUGE game!) on Monday night football that night so we may have some friends over for that. I've promised him my buffalo chicken dip and a pineapple upside down cake. I think I can handle that. We're also still planning on going to a Bucs game at the end of the month to celebrate some more.
Anyway, enjoy your week everyone!!

I didn't want to rub it in but GO GATORS!!!!
Yeah, the Gators can SUCK IT!! I hate them so much! I hope Tim Tebow breaks his leg. Better yet, I hope he gets drafted into the NFL and sucks so hard, just like every overrated Florida quarterback before him (Grossman, Palmer...) and gets released so he can fade away into oblivion.
My NOLES might not be great now but I love them and will stick by them all the way.

P.S. Aren't you a UCF fan?
Nope...not a UCF fan. Jeff is but not me.
you two are funny! I will be a Seminole fan all season EXCEPT when they are playing the gators!
Did I hear correctly that Bowden is retiring? That's HUGE. He is such a giant part of the Seminoles.
Anyhow...I got my tree up and decorated. My house looks pretty festive, I must say. I just have to get Will on the roof to hang lights. That is the hard part...he's afraid of heights.
