Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Thanks to everyone who showed up last night! It was fun! We ended up giving leftover brownies and stuff away to doormen and parade people.
I didn't end up going to the parade this year. It has been raining all day and Esther was not around to drag me out of bed to go. I did however hear the booming parade announcements of every parade act and such so I did not sleep to late.
I hope everyone has a good weekend and enjoys themselves!

Its a little sad to fold socks when no one is around because then I have no one to project them at. What is the fun of folding the socks if I can't toss them at people? Seriously!

You would think that becoming an adult exempts you from participating in Holiday programs...but no. I got to sing a little, I got to speak a little, I got to turn beet red a little. This week although there is vacation seems like it is going to be very busy. I cleaned up our apartment some tonight.

After school today I went to a pet store with a wonderful kid to buy a new pet for the classroom. What is a science room without a pet? So after we looked at ALL the animals and discussed them in detail we bought a cute little baby leopard gecko. I have to say that the experience and the kids enthusiasm just re-enforced for me why I do what I do.

It is good that I didn't have many plans today and that I rested up over the weekend because today I was running all over the place doing all that I could so I would not have so much more to do before wednesday.
I walked from my apartment to 40th and madison to the 99 cent store to buy baking pans and such. I then took the subway back to my apartment then walked to 100 and bdwy to get some other stuff. I then walked all over the uws, did laundry (had to do one load twice because a washer wasn't working properly) spent some time with a friend and now am cleaning and baking.
So far I made:
pumpkin choco chip cake
2 big brownie pans
white chip cookies

I hope people are reading the comments because that is really one of the best things about this blog. I have had an interesting weekend thus far. I went to Friday night services with a friend of mine and it was a real different experience because it was not the usual run of the mill services. If you would like me to explain, ask me, I just do not want anyone reading this to take what I say the wrong way therefore I will just leave the details out. I did alot of recharging this weekend. I took it easy tonight. I went to the gym, did some laundry, and hung out with a friend who I have not really gotten to spend real time with in a while. He has been I think everywhere but New York in the past few weeks and it was nice listening to what he had to say about the places he had been. It was a nice relaxed time. Plus I got presents :) I like my friends, they give hugs, the give presents, but most of all they give really great company to just hang out with. Those are the best kinds of people the people you can just sit around and talk with. The ones who you don't have to dress up for, don't have to go somewhere special, you can just be yourself and chill out. Which reminds me. I need a new place just to space out. I used to sit on the edge of the fountain at Lincoln Square but they closed it off to put up a big ole tree for the holiday season. BTW I must mention which I probably should not that I am a sucker for the Christmas decorations. I love seeing the windows and displays and I love the snowflake lights that they put up on Columbus. They started putting up the holiday dinosaur topiaries in front of the AMNH and I can not wait until they are lit up. It really just makes me smile. I seem to be in a good mood tonight. Going to sleep now.

Someone asked me tonight if I was spontaneous. Can I describe myself so? I would like to think so, but those who know me can sometimes predict what I will do.
