Here's wishing everyong a Happy Thanksgiving. May tryptophene and football rule your day!!
I have many things to be thankful for, especially in light of what has happened in recent months. My friends from Michigan to California and everywhere in between, and especially those right here in Texas, you guys are the best. I couldn't make it through each and every day without you. My family - my rock - I love you and am so incredibly thankful for you. And, of course, to Jay. I'm thankful for his sound mind (most of the time), for letting me cry on his shoulder, for listening to me vent and try to figure things out.
We're at mom and dad's house in The Woodlands today, and I'm already smelling the turkey. Hopefully we'll be back in our house this time next year and can host Thanksgiving like we normally do.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Brain Teaser
See if you can figure out what these words have in common:
1 Banana
2 Dresser
3 Grammar
4 Potato
5 Revive
6 Uneven
7 Assess
No peeking at the answer below. Have you already given up? Give it another try. Look at each word carefully. (You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.) Scroll down for the answer.
Answer: No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters. In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. How do you feel now?

College football
Is there anything better this time of year? I think not! It's rivalry week! And yes, I am very excited about Ohio State / Michigan, and IU / Purdue (and the fact that I actually get to watch them... the one good thing about being away from home - cable TV), but I'm also excited about A&M / Texas later this week, Rice / Houston next weekend, and all of the other good match ups, like Texas Tech / Oklahoma tonight, and Michigan State / Penn State today. I may not "give a damn about the whole state of Michigan" but I have to pull for Sparty today!!
So hopefully you are somewhere warm with a cup of hot cocoa, or a pumpkin spice latte, and can sit in front of the TV like me, and watch a great day of college football.

Big Purchase
We made our first big purchase to replace some stuff that was lost. This is by no means the biggest purchase of my life (although at the time I wanted to vomit), but for a single-item purchase, it's pretty big. What did we buy, you ask??? Drum roll, please... a 52" flat screen Samsung 650 LCD TV!!!
Isn't it pretty? We debated and debated and debated. This is a big purchase. But we knew we were going to buy a flat screen (we lost all of our TVs in the hurricane), and we got an advance on our content money, so we figured why not? So, I'm excited to watch football on it this Sunday!!!!!!!!!
On another note... I'm off to Council Bluffs, Iowa, for the NJCAA volleyball national tournament. Besides freezing my ass off (yes, it's supposed to snow there Friday night), I'm looking forward to watching some good volleyball.
Have a great rest of the week everybody!

Support Breast Cancer Awareness
This is a big deal for me. Although I haven't been directly effected, nor has anyone in my immediate family, I have many friends who have been effected by the disease. So, I do everything I can to help fund research. Here are a couple sites you can visit, and just by clicking once a day, you can make a difference. I strongly believe that. So please join me in making a difference, and if you know of any other sites, I'm happy to add them to this list!
As most everyone knows, last month was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The San Jacinto College volleyball team held a Dig Pink match, in which they raised over $600 to directly benefit the Side-Out Foundation. That may not seem like a lot, but for a community college to step up and raise that much is pretty significant. Our women's basketball team does it in February as well. Here's a picture of the girls wearing their pink jerseys. It was a pretty cool event.
