The busy season of Thanksgiving means that it is the even busier season of Sky Walk Painting and we are up to our paramecium in it. We started last week, prior to Thanksgiving because there is a thing called "Christmas Tree Elegance" that raises funds for the Symphony and they wanted their sky walks decorated in order to get the most advertising they could.

We have ten sky walks to paint this year and we are almost half way there. After tonight, we will be half way there.

In the meantime, we have had all the associated Thanksgiving stuff going on. We had our Wednesday night out and enjoyed an evening at Bluz at the Bend.

Then we got up at 3:30 and stood in line at SpandexTown (Walmart) to get a George Foreman Grill for 75 cents. We were 768th in line and lost out to a old lady with tattoos oozing from her skinny shorts. Editor's Note: If you really believe that we gave up precious sleep to stand in line with the Truely Retarded, then my sarcasm in the previous paragraph needs to be tweeked up a tittle.

Next we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, sponsored by Toyota, until the Rockettes, sponsored by L'Eggs, kicked their long lovely gams into our hearts. Then we had to wait for Santa, sponsored by Mattel, to wave at us, thereby guaranteeing a wonderful Christmas season.

Thanksgiving was with the family and friends at the home of my sister's friend, Nancy. Mass quantities of food were consumed and then we went home and slept.

On Friday, we painted.

On Saturday, we painted.

Susan had to work Saturday night so I putzed around the house and did some stuff. Among my stuff to do was laundry. During the laundry stuff doing, I discovered that it was once again time to call a plumber and have our drain roto-rooted. It was backing up into the basement.

So we spent the rest of the weekend being very careful about how much effluent we put down the drain. The drain is long enough that we can drain things until it backs up. Then we need to give it a couple of hours to empty out.

This made it especially fun last night when we had our own
Thanksgiving meal. We like all the left overs and stuff so we always have our own meal if we don't have the opportunity to host Thanksgiving, which we never do.

We had to be very careful with what went down the drain and we had a shit load of dishes to do throughout the course of the meal prep and meal post prep.

It all worked out and we made it to Monday. Which means now we have to go back to work. Ugh!

In the meantime, here are some pictures.
