Time With Family
I love the holidays! It is not because they mean good err...better/ more food..or because there are presents. I love the holidays because it is the time of year when I spend the most time with family. My brother is still here from Boston, though tonight he is visiting friends, and the rest of the family is watching a movie so I decided to sneak some internet time (I had no post scheduled for today).
How were your Thanksgivings? Well I hope. =)
Most of my family (myself included) caught a stomach flu. But the interesting thing was that it affected us each in different ways. So my father had the vomiting variety, while my mother and I just had sour stomachs and headaches. So this week has been interesting. My father was sick the beginning of the week. I was sick the day before Thanksgiving, and my mother was sick from Thanksgiving morning til today. How rotten right?
Otherwise it was lovely seeing everyone. I really do think it is a shame that we only celebrate being thankful once a year. I can find things each day to be thankful for. What are you thankful for?
And on a side note..if you are curious..I haven't written any letters this week. Which means I am crazy behind! I am going to work on some tomorrow though my guess is I wont really get any written until Monday evening.

"Real" posts to come following the holidays.

Family is in Town
(We were either 4 & 5, or 5 & 6.)
My brother is coming home today from Boston. He will be here through Monday, so I may not be writing real posts until he is gone. We see each other so seldom that I like to make the most of his visits.
However, I have scheduled (WHICH I LOVE) some posts so that anyone who is a regular reader..may not even realize I am gone. Though...they aren't long posts. ( I sprained my wrist the other day and my typing is much slower as a result.)
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

48 Years Ago Today...
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas.
He is thought to still be atop the list of best presidents (by public opinion polls). He was the youngest person ever elected into office, and at the time succeeded the oldest president (Eisenhower). However, today the oldest president who served in office was Ronald Reagan.
I was not alive (or even thought of) when President Kennedy was in office, and as such, I was not alive when he was shot. Though I must admit, I am strangely fascinated by his death. I suppose that may not be uncommon as there is a bit of mystery and (dare I say) conspiracy surrounding his assassination. I won't go into further details, though I thought I would share that little bit with you.
Stamp Released: May 29, 1964

Postal Piggy!
Look what I sent through the mail! I am so excited to find new and unusual things to mail. Its a wonder my letter carrier hasn't left me a note that reads, "Please stop sending bizarre things. They make my coworkers slack off because they are smiling too much!" Haha.
You should try to send something random through the mail..I promise it is fun! Little pig- $1, Stamps to mail the pig- $1.71, The smiles that the pig gives everyone who comes in contact with him...PRICELESS!
