I'm using this entry to avoid cleaning my room and writing a paper. I changed up the playlist over there. It is now featuring music from a concert I went to last night: Eric Hutchinson, Meaghan Smith, and Matt Hires. It also has some Punchline on it. They are a band from Pittsburgh and BART was gracious enough to share practically their entire catalogue with me, good stuff.

Lets see, since I last posted an entry my family has swept into my life, disrupted my sleep schedule, and returned back to their snowy state. I was really glad they could make it from Thanksgiving. I had a really good time with them. We ate a lot of food, bowled (I got a 97! and 2 strikes in a row!), and shopped a lot!!! My mother made me try on these:

I thought my toes were going to fall off. I don't know how strippers do it. Oh, these beauties were from the Jessica Simpson collection, so you know, klassy. And these:

but in purple with some sort of design on them. They scared me. I did not buy them.

I cooked the turkey on Thanksgiving. Everyone I talked to said it was so hard and you had to cook it just right. However, I had fun with it and named the turkey Gertrude "Gertie". She was a good bird. Here she is in the oven:

 I used this recipe from Giada and it turned out delish!  We had so much food that we all literally needed two plates. Glorious! 

After dinner, we drank some wine and ate some cupcakes.

And oh yeah dressed up Harpo. I don't think he liked it too much.
