Another one gets away

My beloved Aggies lost another heartbreaker today. One point! One freakin point. AGAIN! It was horrible but thanks to my good friend Miller I am well medicated and am getting past it. Well, thanks to Miller and t.u. Texas lost tonight. It was a bittersweet moment in my life because if we had scored 2 more points in each of our last two games we would be going into the day after Thanksgiving in a much different situation. Instead, it's just another year and I don't really care what happens, as long as we don't lose by ONE FREAKIN POINT!

So I've been absent from my blog for a week. I've wanted to blog but there was nothing going on up here. James turned 33 (OMG!!!) on Wednesday but he was in NYC for the week so we didn't get to celebrate until he got home Thursday. I picked up some Chinese takeout and got an ice cream cake from Coldstone. I'm not Martha Stewart enough to actually make one of my own, thank you very much, but after paying what I did for the cake I think I'll learn. Those things are crazy expensive!

We bought some trees for the backyard and had them planted yesterday (Happy Birthday to James!). They look great and I took some pics so I'll post them tomorrow or later this week. Our yard seems more like a backyard than a square of grass enclosed by a fence so it's pretty nice. They're 65 gallon trees and there was absolutely no way we were going to plant them on our own. There's still room for the future pool ... very far future but one can dream! Our next project is to install three pendant lights over our kitchen island. Our kitchen is very dark and over the island is a great place for extra lighting so we're pretty excited. We are going to have an electrician come out to do the wiring so we don't burn the house down. We can't wait to get that done - the lights come in on Monday so maybe by next weekend I can share some pics of those too! Then it's Thanksgiving and we're looking forward to the big trip down to H-Town.

I guess that's all I have to say. The Miller and the late hour are causing a lot of typos so this is taking me way longer than it should. I hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend! I'm off to catch some of the USC game (come on Oregon) and maybe play some computer games.

OH - speaking of games - can you believe the PS3 is going for $599!!! James wants one for Christmas. I think Santa is going to forget that one on his shipment this year! HOLY COW!!! It's a video game for crying out loud!! I think the PS2 will do for another year at least.
