*Get you in the Turkey Mood:

*Get in the Hook’em Horns Mood…

*Get in the Holiday Shopping Mood

This is messing up my pregnant lady fethish.

*Cruising around ATX w/ my Honey Ted over the weekend,
I took a few quick shots of the 1st Holiday day lights I ran into.
It’s amazing no matter how P.O you are at others driving around,
when you see Holiday lights, it seems to make everything a bit nicer.
Maybe they should be up 24/7!
Anyway, here’s a crappy/blurry phone picture of ‘Hyde Park Grill’
they have all their  strands of lights Burning Bright !
 

You will have to see it in person! It’s pretty cool!!
Maybe grab some HPBG Famous Fries or Peach Pudding! YUMMY!

*Here’s a better phone picture cruising along Brodie:

*Got cut off right before, we drove up near this.
It took the sting out of being P.O at the moron driver!

BTW..when I was in Wally World, they have this section near the
front packed with goodies that you would never think about buying
except during the holidays!!  Here’s one I heard is this Year’s  ‘Strange IT Item’…

So I figured  the ‘WOW GIfT’- Gift you give to someone when they open it they
have this ‘Fake Smile & say Wow..look at that.. or that’s cool’..then put it down
next to them thinking how they are going to re-gift it without you knowing!
But checking out the site,  the Fushigi actually it looks way cooler. I might
have to go back to Wally world and grab one to try it out!!

When I heard the story behind the new single from the Goo Goo Dolls, “Not Broken” I loved the song even more. John Rzeznik wrote the song after he heard from one woman about her husband’s struggle to return from the war.

John said about the song, “I got a letter from a woman whose husband was in Iraq. He was injured – paralyzed – and he doesn’t want to come home. He wants to stay in the hospital. He’s ashamed of himself. .. He’s afraid she won’t see him as she was…..And she just wants to let him know that he’s still everything that she ever wanted. I don’t know, it just kind of came out. It’s kind of like I was writing a love letter to him on her behalf, telling him to come home.”

Time won’t ever steal my soul

We’re not broken

So please come home

And if the world has worn you down

I’ll be waiting

So please come home
