Happiness post

[checkers65477]

It's been a good week. This will be quick, so I hope emmaco doesn't mind if I use her format of Happy Things from my week.

1. Thanksgiving was lovely. All the food turned out well, and was done at the same time. Yay. The rolls were to die for.
2. Although I lost at Scrabble, like always, I didn't disgrace myself. And I redeemed myself a little by not sucking at Trivial Pursuit.
3. I got some good bargains on Black Friday.
4. A purchase on Ebay is going to make someone extremely happy at Christmas.
5. I spent most of the day Saturday combing used bookstores in town, hunting for books for my library. I don't like having to do this on my own time, but I love the used bookstores, so it was ok. I also don't like buying used books for the library--it doesn't do authors, publishing companies, libraries or the students any favors--but with with such a tiny budget this year, I feel like I have no choice.
6. It was wonderful having five days off work and spending the time with family.
7. Today was so warm that you could go outside in short sleeves.
8. Ozzie loves his new flippy cat toy. He's been dashing around like a kitten.
9. The movie The Taking of Pelham 123 was actually pretty good.
10. I bought a big, red Purse of Awesome.

Maybe you need to just post that recipe! I would like it too. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving.
*is jealous*
New Year's Eve will be our big holiday this year. It's Elf's birthday and my niece will be home, so she and her parentals (my brother, his wife) will be coming to visit. And I have off. I don't think, in my 20 years working, I have had that many days off around that time (3!)
Is Ozzie a Siamese, that he is so talkative?
