Whoa, it's already time for the holidays?

I am apparently unable to manage this blog anymore. I always have intentions of posting, and then I get home from work, and I'm just like, "Update my blog or watch the newest episode of Beavis and Butthead?" You can guess which one wins out.

Speaking of the return of Beavis and Butthead, I am thrilled that it has returned and it is just as funny as I remember, if not funnier. The premiere still has me giggling when I think about it.

Work has been crazy-busy...last time I posted, I think we were about to have auditions. We had auditions and since then I directed my first show! It was Murder in the Knife Room by Jonathan Rand (check out www.playscripts.com to read it) and it was really cute and well received by the audience. :) I was quite proud of myself. However, two months later, I'm glad it's over. I so enjoyed the process and being with the kids and everything, but I am glad to have my life back.

Fun gifts from the cast, crew, friends and husband. :)

Our Thanksgiving vacation has been amazing, so much so that I am pretty much refusing to believe that it's coming to an end. We started it off by going to the Texas Renaissance Festival with friends, (if you haven't been, you should go next year.) visiting with friends we haven't seen in a while, staying in a fun and fancy hotel on Market Street in The Woodlands for some much needed R&R, Thanksgiving Day festivities, Black Friday shopping, (we were quite successful this year!) and more time with friends and family. I only have 3 weeks left of work between now and Christmas, but man, it's been nice to relax. When I wasn't working, I would get bored, and I hated not having money---but man, I could totally be a housewife if we could afford for me to not work. I liked having that kind of freedom when I wasn't working. Maybe one day Travis will find a super awesome job working for Bill Gates or something so I can just do whatever I want to all day...

It could happen.

We've started the process of decorating for Christmas, but our house was a disaster since we've both been really busy lately, so it's going slow because we're cleaning as we go...or stopping to check Facebook/Twitter, or in Travis' case, ESPN a little too often. ;) But for now, here's a very crappy-quality picture I snapped of our tree, but it isn't finished yet. :)

We got a bigger tree this year

But that little one from before wasn't too bad (last year's picture)

I hope you have enjoyed the beginning of the holiday season with your loved one as I have. :) Be blessed this holiday season!
