Turkey.

Goodness.
This weekend was one for the record books.

THURSDAY:
Emily and I went for an early-morning run. Around 10am.
Did some laundry.
Fixed some stuff around the house.
Watched TV at my parents' home in Spring Bay.
Ate the most delicious Thanksgiving dinner EVER.
Spent some quality time with my dad's side of the family (Uncle Gary, Aunt Sue, Cousin Gary, Alaina and Cody).
Talked about the upcoming Bears' game.


FRIDAY:
Purchased a brand new television.
Ate some doughnuts.
Shopped all morning.
Met dad at home, and we installed the TV/sound system.
Rented a couple of movies/TV shows.
Watched a little bit of television:)




SATURDAY:
(I'm going to miss a LOT of stuff. The day was jam-packed.)
Lunch with my family (mom's side)
Colored with little Morgan.
Played stuffed animal toss with Morgan.
Ate TOO much food. Again. Lots of delicious-ness.
Emily bought my Christmas present (so awesome!!!)
I told her about her Christmas present.
We took a bunch of stuff back.
Shopped at Kohl's. Best Buy. Target. Kroger.
Best Buy looked like it was on fire. But it was really the apartments behind the store.
Watched more TV.


SUNDAY:
Emily and I made a dish with eggplant, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and a bunch of other stuff.
NOTE: uncooked eggplant is quite possibly the most disgusting-tasting vegetable in the entire history of uncooked vegetables.
We got a quick run in before lunch.
Ate even MORE deliciousness at Emily's parents' house!!!
Played football in the backyard (my wife is a SERIOUS route-runner, and she's got a good arm, too!)
Watched the Bears/Eagles game.
Talked finances with Emily's family.
Went home and watched more TV.

Yes. It was a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.
But, in spite of all our exercise, I still gained about ten pounds:(

Oh, well. The Jingle Bell run isn't for another week! I have time to lose the weight. Or at least, I'm going to tell myself that I have time to lose some weight.
We'll see what happens.
