On Thursday morning, I got up early, made half of my bread into gluten-free stuffing, stuffed my GF turkey (there is meat with gluten in it, believe it or not), and got my turkey in the oven. While it cooked, I did laundry, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the dog show, did some writing, and reflected back on Thanksgivings from my past. It was awesome!
Finally, once everything was cooked and ready, I hauled it out to my parents' house and got to have a nice, family dinner with my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and Kiki (my parents neurotic but lovable calico cat). We also watched home movies and played Scene-it Squabble
(girls won!). It was a great time.Friday was fairly uneventful, but I did get to see my former roommate, A. (who I miss constantly) so that was cool. Oh and I faxed my stuff back to the unemployment office again. (Hopefully this time everything is clear and I can get paid.)
Saturday, we celebrated my dad's birthday early (his actual birthday is today) by taking him to see "Megamind" (WAY good movie, btw) and eating dinner at Outback Steakhouse . Why Outback? Well, originally, we were going to go to Applebee's, but they don't have a gluten-free menu. Outback does, and has great food all around. Plus, my dad got a free Birthday sundae (and no singing or clapping, which, as someone who used to work in the food service industry, he finds to be embarrassing and degrading) so that was good. After that, I got to hang out with my friend Chin and a few other friends and we watched The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
. It is a WAY funny movie! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. 
That leads to Sunday. Sunday was another awesome day. Will's parents took us to see the Children's Ballet Theatre production of "The Nutcracker"
. And with that, the Christmas season officially started for me. It was awesome. Sunday night we hung out with some friends and watched "The Walking Dead,"
which, if you aren't familiar with it, is an amazing show on AMC. I am so into it, but there's only one episode left in the season I think! Ahh!! What will I do!?!?Then this morning, I had an interview. An interview!! Oh, I am so excited. It's been awhile since I've had an interview, so that was amazing. Not only that, but the place is awesome! If I get the job, I will be teaching but without having to constantly fight for my job or for validation like I've had to do in the past as a music educator. Wow... that would be so awesome...

Anyway, now I am home, ready to work on some writing (even if I get this job, I'll still be doing my writing). But I also have to prepare for my second interview tomorrow. (That's right, they want me to come in for a second interview! Ahhh!!! :) haha) Also on the agenda for tomorrow... watching myself on Detroit 1-8-7
! Yes, that's right: the episode that I was a part of is airing tomorrow at 10:00 pm (Eastern/Standard time) on ABC! I am SOOOO excited! If you watch Detroit 1-8-7, look for me and my car. My car is a maroon/wine colored Saturn Ion that should be in some shots and I am wearing a goldish-brown dress coat over skinny jeans and a printed shirt. Good luck spotting me! hahaWell, I think that's about it. But before I go, I'll leave you with a few new websites to check out:
Here's to a good week. :)
Peace and Love,
