A good weekend

So, another weekend has come and gone. This was a long weekend as I had Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving. Plus my birthday was yesterday so that worked out fairly well. We went to Alex City to celebrate Thanksgiving with Allison’s family and it was fun showing off Arwen to family who hadn’t seen her yet.

Friday was a hang out in the house day as Allison went shopping during the Black Friday sales. Personally I avoid going out into that nonsense myself but she likes it sometimes. That Alabama/Auburn game sure was entertaining, a good game to watch. Even though I’m an Auburn fan I was disappointed in Alabama’s performance. For the number two team in the nation playing a non-ranked team with a new coach to finish that close to the wire was not good. They better figure out what happened before they play Florida.

For Saturday we went out for lunch at a Mexican place we liked but I doubt we’ll return anytime soon. Has got to be the fattiest tacos (including the chicken!) that I have ever seen. We tried making up for it by going to a somewhat new Asian place, Stix, we haven’t gone to yet for dinner. I have to say it was rather good but the Kung Pao didn’t agree with me, I’ll have to try something else next time. We’ll probably see about taking Anya to the Japanese steak house part, she would probably like it.

Today we did some cleaning up around the house and I did some yard work while Anya played since it was a pretty day. The ground in our yard is still somewhat soggy from all the rain we’ve gotten and I doubt it’ll totally dry out before Spring. I wonder what’ll happen if we get a hard freeze? Allison is cooking a lasagna we watched Guy Fierri make on his show on Food Network. I helped a bit and therefore I shall have ended the weekend by slicing a chunk of the end of my left thumb off while slicing the garlic.
