another day with not much to do
Chesterfield and Springfield MO made the list of the Top 100 places to live in the US. Yay MO! Homestore: Real Estate News - General - Top Cities (I still wish we weren't a red-for-republican state, though.)
I really should be writing or studying at this point, ideally both at the same time, but we all know how unlikely that is.
I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving. The nice folks at Human Resources finally realized that everyone takes off the friday after Thanksgiving anyway, so it's an official holiday that we get paid for. Whee! I'm glad I already got Mom her birthday present...I am positive she will like it. But I'm not sure if I should give her two things for her birthday or save one for Christmas...Christmas will probably be pretty small this year, since my parents have quite a bit to pay off shortly. It makes me sad to hear that they're struggling. Bugger. I want a web design job so I can finance my new laptop and a greenhouse/studio for my parents. Yeah. Let me get cracking on that one.
