Thanksgiving Vacation Days 3, 4 and 5

Okay, so I missed blogging about Thanksgiving Vacation Days 3, 4 and 5….but I was busy!

If you missed Day 1 and Day 2, here is a quick recap;

I caught a show in the city on Wednesday night;

(Automatic Fire @ the TLA on South Street, Phila)
Thursday (Turkey Day) was at my Moms house and it was wonderful. It was so relaxing with just my parents, brothers, my husband and I. There was no family drama or huge mess to clean up.
We decorated Mom's Christmas tree...one of them anyway


...ate a wonderful meal and spent time together as a family just relaxing. We went to bed rather early so that we could get up with the crazies (who am I kidding...we ARE the crazies!) to do some Black Friday shopping!

Friday started at 2:30 AM (better than last year…we started at midnight then) with a large cup of Wawa coffee and lots money to burn…well not so much the lots of money part. Anyway, we made our way through a few stores stopping for breakfast along the way. We made out pretty well and got done most of our Christmas shopping. Then around 10:00 AM we dropped the bags off at home, took a nap, woke up and had lunch (turkey day round # 2) and then went back out for MORE SHOPPING Y’ALL!!!! My best buy was an awesome set of bed sheets that were $89.99. I scored them for $14.99 + 15% off of that…you figure it out. I can’t tell you what I else I got cuz it’s for Christmas DUH!
Saturday I can’t even remember but I’m sure it was good.
Sunday was great because we did this…

(Thats our house all done up for Christmas!)
My Dad brought over a bucket truck to get the lights up top. That man is like a kid with a toy when it comes to using the bucket truck...any excuse he gets I tell ya!

That brings us to today…its back to work, with a sore back/neck and a cold thats turned into a sinus infection…I guess the fun had to end sometime.

How was your Thanksgiving vacation? Is your tree up yet?

My Beautiful Mistake

By Walt Lafty
Demos

I close my eyes because I’m told that love is blind
Two hearts collide
The casualties are always left to die
How long
How long
Until we end this story
I can’t hold on
To this any longer
You gave me confusion and shame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away, you’re still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave
Where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away, you’re still my beautiful mistake
You gave me something to save
When I’m lost I don’t think like myself at all
I tend to hide
Until all this confusion does subside
How long
How long
Until I taste some glory
I can’t hold to this any longer
You gave me confusion and shame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away your still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away your still my beautiful mistake
I wanted to work
How stubborn was I
In my defense I fought one hell of a fight
But dreams and reality don’t often collide
You gave me confusion and blame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away your still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away your still my beautiful mistake
My beautiful mistake
