This weekend we are going to go to Nebraska Furniture Mart and buy a new sofa or love seat. Haven't decided which we are going to buy. I'd be happy with a chair.

Looks like we might get some freezing rain tomorrow. And then it will be rather windy once the rain stops.

Have continued to have strange dreams. One part of one that I can remember, is of me with some British ladies in a kitchen making cakes. The odd part of it comes from the fact that in order to make the frosting "stick" to the cake we need to dunk cake with the frosting on it in water. It seemed to make perfect sense in the dream and I didn't bat an eye as were doing it. But in waking life I think it's an odd thing to do.

It is cold out!!! And if it wasn't we need to get out to go to the laundromat and do a couple chores, I'd not go out at all. Well, I guess I would need to feed the dogs, give the dogs more straw to lay in, get the newspaper and mail. But other than that I would get out.

Thanksgiving was nice. But I think Mom wants to much of a big deal for a meal than I do. But since we only make these holiday meals a few times a year, and it does make her happy, I guess I can just deal with it.

Put a few things up on eBay yesterday. Thought I might as well take advantage of the holiday to try some new things.

Very cold today. I don't remember a Thanksgiving this cold. It is supposed to warm up later in the week and over the weekend, but I don't think it's going to get out of the twenties today. Think the low for tonight is supposed to be in the upper teens.

We will be doing some cooking and baking today. Hope we will do a smaller meal for Christmas, because I don't care for all this cooking. Also don't care for all of the dirty dishes.

We got a little bit of rain and a tiny amount of snow today. Mom and I went out on an errand after she got off work. Even though it was rather cold, it wasn't too bad. I was expecting it to be bad and take Mom longer to get home than normal, but it wasn't bad. Had dinner out and then came home to watch a little TV.

Had a strange dream last night involving a landscaping project. Was in a different home and wanted to put in a reflecting pool. I knew that this would make one of our neighbors mad. Once it was done she wasn't happy, because it all looked so beautiful. Saw two dogs in my dream, both had passed years ago, so it was strange to see them.

The up and down weather roller coaster is continuing with higher then normal temps for the next couple days and then more normal temps for later in the week.

Had a nice Thanksgiving at home planned. Also have some things for the weekend planned.

Haven't had much to post about. Everything is going well.

Not sure what we are going to do this weekend. Also don't know what we are going to do for Thanksgiving.

We only had two kids come to the door on Halloween. There were two others that passed us by and that was pretty much it for kids out and about this year. I don't know if walking around the neighborhood has fallen out of favor or not but it looks like it. Maybe the focus is more on parties and walking around the mall or some other safe place. I remember when I was younger and went out on Halloween, we didn't have a car following us with a parent protecting us. We went in groups and wandered far and wide. When I was old enough to do it by myself, I went all over. Its not to say that it was safer then, weird people have always been around, but I guess it was a different time. People must feel the need to over protect their kids, waste gas driving their large ass vehicles around while they watch their lazy ass kids go to certain houses and never trudge up stairs (God forbid) to get a treat. Maybe we outta just flat out ban Halloween.
