The three days of work I had this week flew by, and now I’m enjoying a nice four day weekend. I wish I had more of these.
While I was away this past weekend Michael got to discussing our holiday plans (or lack thereof) with Morgana in Maine. She suggested that we come up for New Years again this year. I was hesitant at first, seeing as we JUST had a vacation, but in the end the possibility of heading up to Maine for some great company (and lobster) swayed me (ok, it was mostly the lobster).
I have off December 25th and 26th and was able to take off December 28th, 29th and January 2nd (couldn’t take off December 27th – it’s month end and there is stuff that needs to be done sometime that week). This will give us a nice string of days for driving and visiting with friends. I’m so excited! Even moreso when I learned that a friend who lives out by Erie, PA will be making the trek across PA on the 27th to meet us and ride up to Maine with us. It should be a fun New Years.
During a Doctor Who panel at Philcon the subject of Torchwood the series came up. TORCHWOOD THE SERIES? See, this is the problem with being a Doctor Who fan in the States – I had no clue such a spinoff existed! So on Monday night I grabbed the torrents for the 6 episodes that have been aired in the UK.
The verdict? It’s fun Scifi. I had to laugh at the whole “hot gang of investigators in leather and jeans hitting the crime scene!” cheese of it all, but it just can’t be taken too seriously.
Today is Thanksgiving here in the States. My mother called me this morning to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving and give me a status update on family stuff going on up there. It was nice to hear from her. This afternoon we’re heading over to Michael’s Mother’s my mother-in-laws house for dinner with the family. We’re bringing beer, some fresh beer bread and a pan full of cookies (cooked like brownies).
Mmmm so looking forward to turkey.
