Knuckle Sandwich

Rex and I were practicing our forms and at the end of one of our forms we end with a punch. Our punching bag was at the end of Rex’s pattern so he punched it. He hit it in just the right spot so he bruised his knuckle so much it filled up with blood. Eventually the blood will spread out and it will not be so swollen. It is looking better already.

Gobble Gobble. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. We celebrated twice, once at my mother’s house and once at Rex’s parents. His Grandmother was there, she is 95! She gets along really fine. My mom was kind enough to send me home with some leftovers. We will be having turkey sandwiches this week:)

Lilly promptly got sick when we got home. Poor baby! I think she is over the worst of it. She told me how she had forgotten what is was like to throw up:( She has been reminded now! She has been sleeping a lot and is having crazy dreams. Ask her about them next time you see her!

Well, we finally have turned over to the dark side and purchased an artificial Christmas tree. It’s a small, sparse tree. It is the right size for our family and living room space. This year instead of hanging the children baby ornaments I am displaying them in a basket, on a bed of white fluffiness.

My extra reading has fallen away. I hope to get into again this week. I have a couple books that need to be finish and our friends from Mississippi sent us a ton of beautifully bound books that I need to begin. The amount of money they spent on us astounds me.

Rex and I went to see the new Pride and Prejudice in the theater. I was disappointed they way the chose to end the movie and with the response Lizzy gives Mr. Darcy the second time he proposes but other than that it was absolutely wonderful. I prefer the BBC/A&E television mini- series Pride & Prejudice from 1995. We have it on DVD, so let me know if you want to borrow it. I think the new movie shows the differences between them in rank much clearer. It was only a little over 2 hours so they really squeezed in a lot and left out much.
