Happy day-after-Thanksgiving!
I had a nice Thanksgiving. I watched some of the parade, ran 3.5 miles and ate the best mashed potatoes known to man. I watched some football and took some naps, but most of all just enjoyed the simplicity of the day. I love this time of year. Aside from the people who are probably strangling each other for televisions right now, I really do think the holidays bring out the best in people.
This year RA and I adopted two families for Christmas. If I do any shopping today, it will likely be for them. We need to get a sewing machine, bikes, an MP3 player, etc. When I was little, we always picked angels off of a tree at church and went shopping for gifts for people who might not otherwise get them. I look forward to continuing a similar tradition as an adult. I've been fortunate to always have gifts under the tree on Christmas morning.
I've had two doctor visits over the past few weeks, and they both went surprisingly well. At the CF doctor, my PFTs were down a bit from baseline, but up a bit from the previous visit. Perhaps the doctor was feeling generous because I don't have to go back for three months. Hooray! I also went to the ENT so he could have a look at my sinuses, and I was relieved to hear that they "don't look too bad." I haven't been to the ENT in more than a year, so I figured the possibilities were limitless. Hooray for healthcare and decent reports at the doctor!
The Falcons are 9-1. They lost their first game to the Saints about two weeks ago. UGH, THE SAINTS. They played an ugly game of football last weekend to beat the Cardinals. On Sunday, they play the Buccaneers, and I hope to see none of last weekend's shenanigans repeated.
In fantasy football news, my team is 8-3. I'm going to have a tough week considering 7/13 of my players were injured as of yesterday. I'm hoping that the holiday spirit heals their sprains/strains/pulled muscles so that I can get another win this week. I think I'm pretty set to make the playoffs regardless, but I'd like to finish the regular season strong. GET IT TOGETHER, BOYS!
Well, I guess it's time to make the most of my day off. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

blah blah vote blah blah
Hello!
I am writing a blog. Can you tell? I actually sat down with the idea that I'd poke around on Facebook or Twitter, but then I remembered that it will be filled with election talk. I don't so much mind the election talk, but social media has made it way too easy for people to shove opinions down your throat. I know that elections are exciting and important, but people generally feel the need to talk too much. (It's a bit hypocritical because I run my mouth on here a lot, but you would have actively chosen to come to this site to hear what I have to say.)
In case you're curious, I voted today. I actually tried early voting last week, but the line was wrapped around the building, so I turned right around. It was a good move because it only took ten minutes to vote today, if that. Anyway, the only reason I started this story was to say that, as I walked into the elementary school where I vote, a lady was like, "Oh, I thought you were a student walking in for a second!" I get it; I'm small in stature. I think 11 years old or younger is a bit of a stretch, though. People, people, people.
My cousin's wedding last weekend was great. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was in Dahlonega on a nice plot of land. She and her dad actually rode in a horse-drawn carriage to walk down the aisle. How crazy and cool! It was so beautiful and simple. It truly could not have gone more perfectly. She wore orange Converses, and I loved it. I'm very happy for her and her now-husband. My parents rented a nice little cabin. It was relaxing and enjoyable!
The Falcons are 8-0! My fantasy football (I can't ever decide whether or not I should capitalize that.) team is 6-3. It could be better; it could be worse. Anyway, I've injured several more players, but I've lost count of my injuries at this point. Basically all of my team members should watch their backs.
I'm starting to get tired, and I have a long day tomorrow. I've had a long several weeks as well, topping off what's been a long year. I've reached so-sleepy-I'm-grumpy mode, so it's probably best if I hit the hay and get a good night's sleep.
I tweeted this earlier, but I dreamt that the voting line was blocked by a gigantic chunk of mozzarella cheese. Who am I?! Speaking of, sweet dreams!
