It has, indeed, been a little bit since I wrote last. Not a whole lot going on right now, so I haven't had much to write about.

Got to spend Thanksgiving with my family, which was nice. For me, Thanksgiving has two main highlights:

1. My grandma's stuffing

2. The family roll fight.

What started many years ago (before my conception, actually) as the innocent throwing of one roll in the house has evolved into the yearly tradition of the combined Hudson-Russelburg family. After the wonderful meal at my mother's house, we all make our way to the backyard. As we pass through the garage to the battlefield, everyone is handed a bag full of rolls that have been pre-cooked, just enough to keep them from being gooey and dough-like.

At the word 'Go', everyone begins to pelt one another with these baked projectiles. Simple enough concept. Turns out, its really a lot of fun and often ends in one of the younger ones crying. Who would have thought rolls hurt as much as they do when it so cold out. Joe and Carly joined my family for the extravaganza.



As I mentioned, the next stop for Thanksgiving was my grandmother's, where I had more stuffing than I ever should have considered necessary. The main objective post-meal there is to find your spot on the limited couch space and sleep for the next 3 hours, which I gladly did.

Owensboro is apparently where its at. Thanksgiving night, April was generous enough to host a 'bonfire' of sorts for a few of us in Owensboro. We did the s'mores thing and then watched Elf, making the pre-Christmas season official. Have a few pictures, courtesy of April and Amy:





Of course, you can't have Thanksgiving without the day-after-Thanksgiving. Black Friday...or as RadioShack likes to call it - Hot Friday. Whatever you want to call it, for me it means getting up early. Unfortunately, because of poor planning, Joe and myself were stuck in Owensboro until about 3:30 am, a mere 2 hours before I had to be at RadioShack to open. We got a few hours of sleep and then made the trip back.

Overall, this Black Friday wasn't as bad as previous years. I lucked out and only had to work until 3:30 pm, while a few others had to work double shifts. :)

That's all I got. A few big things coming up in the next few weeks I can hopefully write a bit about.

PS: So what if I'm avoiding figuring out what I want to do with my 'real life' that will start soon enough :P
