Oh, the places you'll go.

i don't even know where to start.

My Thanksgiving break has been a whirlwind of activities, and I have loved every minute and slept very little.

Saturday, Clay arrived in Tuscaloosa, and we headed North to home. We packed an unwilling Macy into her Kitty Carrier and hit the road around 9. Around 10, Macy had a little oopsie. Unable to voice her need to hit up a gas station, she was left with little options. As we drove through Cleveland, Clay and I kept the conversation going as we both politely ignored the other one's outrageous gas... and then I heard Macy attempting to throw invisible litter on her... accident. Although I was glad to realize Clay wasn't suffering from horrendous gastrointestinal problems, the remainder of the ride home was pretty chilly with the windows down.

Sunday I went with Clay and his family to see Harry Potter. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can't explain my emotional connection with this series. I just love it. I sob every time I read the books, and I can barely contain myself when even a preview comes on. Bring on Part II!

Monday, Chasley and I met Wade-o for lunch in Huntsville before we went shopping. Two things: Rosie's never disappoints and I could spend days in Forever 21. With Chasley's help, I found a gorgeous dress for KB's wedding at Belk. That wedding is on my "Things I'm Looking Forward To" list. Monday night, Clay and I went to see my dad's dress rehearsal for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat. As the title suggests, this show is uh-mazing.

On Tuesday I got to sub at the high school, and then I had to head to Tuscaloosa for class. Blah.

Erica and I met for breakfast and real talk on Wednesday morning. I love Huddle House with my whole heart, but I've got to be more persistent about Mama's opening for breakfast next time I'm there. After breakfast I went to blue grass practice with Dad. I think I nailed Away in a Manger-- a favorite since preschool-- but my attempts at Joy to the World were just plain scary. After that, I took Dad to get his very first spray tan-- a must for Pharoah Elvis. Later that night I did his make-up for dress rehearsal... Another things list: Things I Never Thought I'd Say, "I have to get home to do my dad's make-up."

Thursday thru Sunday were so exciting that they deserve their own blog posts. On a less interesting note, I'll be spending today unpacking and reorganizing my closet.
