Brian and Libby's Blog

Quick Update

Thanksgiving was a huge success...pretty much the most perfect Thanksgiving ever :) No seriously, we had a great time, we relaxed, we had a roaring fire going and lots of laughs...it was a good day! To top it all off, TBS aired 4 of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes from 8-10. What more could I ask?

I'll tell you what I could ask for - a very productive Black Friday! And I got it! Brian and I have just about finished our Christmas shopping. I was up at 5 but since I had worn myself out the day before, I was back down by 2 pm...watching Elf and napping with Kaylee in my lap. I was exhausted after just a few hours but fortunately I got just about everything done that morning. I've always thought Black Friday was absolutely crazy, and if you were at Kohls on Friday, you probably think so too. But it has become kind of a tradition and not only do I enjoy it, I truly do think it's worth the deals. I do not think it's worth saving $5 at Kohl's to wait in their hour long line, but other stores hosted much more moderate chaos and some great deals to boot.

I'm going to be preoccupied for about the next week with a research proposal for school. You will be able to judge my productivity by seeing how often I blog while trying to focus on the representation of gender in commercials airing during children's prime time television. Fun times, good times. So anyways, in the meantime, check out pictures from Thanksgiving (including our new mantel-shout out to cousin Dan, who happens to be a contractor and was kind enough to build it for us).

Lastly, get ready to change your bookmarks b/c this blog will be moving soon. As of last week, we are the proud owners of brianandlibby.com (don't go there yet, nothing to see) and everything will be moved over to the new site before Christmas. We will have been with blogger for a year this coming January, and while it has served us well, I have found myself very impressed with Wordpress while managing multiple other blogs on it. Brianandlibby.com will reside on Jon Wise's personal server and be hosted on Wordpress. Not that you care (surprising that I kind of do care) but it will. So that's what's up. Peace out.
