it’s been a really strange past couple of weeks. i’ve been trying to figure out how to write about it. thanksgiving was spend with family at a local restaurant. that was the first time we had done thanksgiving as a family at a restaurant. then last weekend my heart was ripped out when the clemson defense decided to mail in the south carolina game. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? at least the saints game the next day helped out, they beat the falcons…nice.

i did finally get my new macbook. it actually started out in china, and made it to my house by way of alaska. i’m loving having wireless internet. i’m sitting on my sofa right now watching the big 12 title game.

earlier today i insulated my attic where i had all the insulation removed by the tree. i woke up early this morning to meet my uncle at home depot to pick up the insulation and the blowing machine. then this afternoon chad and jacob came over and basically manned the ground operations while i climbed around in the attic. and when i say climbed i mean, literally….it is like a jungle gym up there!

i went in the gap yesterday on my way home and scored some new pants off the sale rack. i went looking for one of those product red shirts, specifically the one that says inspi(red) on it. you know, the one kanye’s got on that motorola commercial. unfortunately they only had two shirts available, one that said bo(red) and one that said hamme(red). i’m not kidding. so i go up to the counter to check out, and asked about the inspi(red) shirts by saying “do you guys have anymore of those inspi(red) shirts, cause if i’m going to be helping to eliminate aids in africa, i don’t want my shirt saying hamme(red) across it.” the girl says “oh….i bought that one, and the one that says bo(red).” i thought “oh, well, of course.” so i got home and ebayed an inspi(red) shirt. word.
