Belated Thanks!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...mine was great! I spent it with family and great friends. We had yummy food, a 23lb turkey, and wine! Who could ask for more? Well I did get to play Rock Band all the holiday. It was mindless and fun. The kids even joined in! Who knew Jakob was a drum phenom?

One sour note of the holiday though....this morning I woke up to a broken car window, stolen portable DVD players, 40 missing DVDs, and a pilfered XM satellite radio. What a crummy way to start back to work. :( I'm still thankful that no one was hurt, that we all have our health, and well..... for the bonding effects of turkey and video games! Thank goodness that wasn't in the car!

Singing the Praises!

Do you love your hometown? I love my hometown of Corpus Christi even in the 110 degree heat of August! I love it even when I hate it! Ellen has started this new type of online scrapbooking about hometowns all over the country. Check it out to see what interesting things your neighbors have to say about your home "tierra".

some interesting things I found under Corpus Christi, TX.

1.Most talented Corpus Christi Kid - Now I'll be singing "up down up down I go Cwazy" all day!

2. Texas is the catapult to California for beautiful women like Eva Longoria, Farrah Fawcett, and hmm, umm, Betty White!

3. We were jipped out of a Guinness World Record for the largest sno-cone! If you live in Corpus and have never had a Sno-ball sno-cone...stop what you're doing and go now! I know it's still 90 degree in the middle of November there, and a sno-cone would hit the spot!

Go check out your hometown. Maybe you will find out something new!
