One of the things about eating out for Thanksgiving is that you are not spending the next week trying to make leftover turkey appetizing. Of course you can't make turkey/stuffing/gravy/cranberry sandwiches either. Good thing one of the local restaurants has that on its menu year round.
I saw the first two episodes of Torchwood with Peter last night thanks to a few good friends. Um...Whoa. If I were to give it a pitch line it would be "It's X-Files but they know the truth to whether the aliens exist which is yes and they think no one else should." Captain Jack is back and they did some interesting stuff with the character. I look forward to seeing the rest of the series. I think it would be a stitch (although it will never happen) to have David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson (more likely since she now lives in the UK) guest star at some point.
In the "learn something new category", I didn't know there was such a market for text message blessings. You can get proof that someone prayer for you or an inspirational message on your cell phone every day for a few shekels. Pay to pray or rather pay to be prayed for? It very well might work for some or many but it just rubs me the wrong way. I think back to the Catholic Church and indulgences that were sold. Can you imagine if that was going on now?
Telephone Ring
Voice 1: Hello Catholic Indulgence line, what sin have you commited?
Voice 2: Actually I need a quote for a sin.
Voice 1: That's fine Sir. I need to know what sin, situation, and city you plan to commit the sin in.
Voice 2: There is a difference depending on the city?
Voice 1: Why yes there is. The rates in Las Vegas are different than the rates in say Tipilo.
Voice 2: Hmmm, I didn't know that. OK I want to know how much it would be to commit adultery in Denver during a conference.
Sound of computer keys being hit
Voice 1: I need a little more information. Is this the first time you will be committing this sin?
Voice 2: Uh...Yes?
Voice 1: Sir there is a stiff surcharge if you lie on top of the sin itself.
Voice 2: : OK I have committed this sin before.
Voice 1: : Thank you Sir. Just a moment.....It will be $340 if the sin is less than a day and $500 if you sin the whole weekend. What credit card do you want to put this on?
My mind goes to strange places sometimes.
I bought Caroline some stuff for her birthday along with some toys for Hanukah which ends the day before Christmas Eve. December is a good month for her and toys. I even got her Lincoln Logs since she always trying to get into Daddy's set. She loves to build with all kinds of things. She makes castles and walls with her Duplo blocks and wooden blocks. She loves building tall towers and seeing how far she can go before they fall over.
I did go to AC Moore yesterday and used my coupon but not on what I originally thought I was going to get. I wanted to get an airbrush but they were sold out of the model I wanted so instead I got something else I needed which is a light box for a variety of reasons. I hit a lull at the store and got in and out in short order which amazed me. The clerk told me that she had been slammed most of the morning.
I am grateful that I did go out and shop on Black Friday.
