I woke up at 3am, I traveled from Knoxville to the Atlanta Airport to put Heather on the plane and then drove back home again all before noon.  I watched the Christmas special of Psych with Stephanie after we got back home and then took a nap. I’m still tired.

Thanksgiving is over. How sad. My husband did most of the cooking. I ate too much. Heather’s stay is almost over. I am very sad about her leaving. I have to drive her to Atlanta tomorrow morning to catch a plane. We will be waking up at 2am. It’s about a 3 1/2 hour drive. Flying her into and out of Atlanta was much much cheaper than flying her into and out of Knoxville plus it was a straight flight. No changing planes. I’m going to miss her when she leaves. I hate her living so far away.

My daughter Stephanie is drawing a portrait and fur tutorial for 3D magazine to be included in their soon to be published art book. Here is the picture she is currently drawing and working on that will be included in the book. Here is the link to her livejournal post about the picture. See the finished picture here.

Stephanie is currently looking for employment in or around Knoxville. She plans to attend UT in the spring and needs cash.  Help a college student continue with her studies. Here is her Resume.

On the news when they are discribing the weather outside the weatherman or woman will say something like “It’s 34 degrees outside but with the windchill it feels more like 28 degrees. Where do they get that? Who did they poll? How do they know that if the wind is blowing the temperature feels colder than it is? If it’s 34 degrees outside isn’t it 34 degree regardless of wether or not the wind is blowing? I’m just wondering.

I had to wake up and takes the dogs outside. Once I’m awake I can never go back to sleep. Heather arrived home at 11pm last night. I stayed up until 12:30am. My bedtime is usually 10. I have no idea when everyone else went to bed. I’m not certain what are plans are for today. I think the kids want to go and see Twilight. I’ll probably dropped them off and then go and do some Christmas shopping. Updates later. BTW, Grandma feel free to come over any time. 

At 2 o’clock my husband left to go and pick up Heather from the Atlanta airport. It was way way cheaper than flying her into Knoxville. They should be home around 10pm. It’s a 3 and half hour drive there and ditto for the return trip. I am so excited. I can’t wait to see her. I have the guest room all clean.

This morning as I drove into work I saw snow flurries. It was so exciting to see. I haven’t seen real snow in years. I know flurries are not real snow but they have potential to be real snow. I wanted to call home and wake up my husband. I thought about it for a few moments and decided that probably wasn’t a good idea. The man was up late and I doubt he would have as much enthusiasm about snow flurries as I do. I have decided to wait and give him the information at dinner tonight. There is a chance that he will see his own snow flurry sometime today. We can only hope.

My olest daughter Heather is flying in on the 21 Nov. from Phoenix Arizona for a week long visit. I am so excited. I can’t wait to see her. We have all missed her tremendously. I am going to book her plane tickets today.
