I was a little bummed about not being able to watch The Office on Thursday. Since NBC did one of those evenings where every show got more than a ½ hour, I only got about 20 minutes of a 45 minute show recorded. I tried to torrent it yesterday, but no luck. Marcus purchased it on iTunes this morning so we could finally get to watch it. It was soooooo funny! I loved the Lazy Scranton bit (you'd have to see it...I'm not explaining it!).

We watched Cars last night. What a great movie! I'll definitely have to get that one. I pulled out the hide-a-bed and we snuggled while watching on the big TV. It was like going to the Drive-in in the comfort of our own living room! Speaking of the drive-in, I loved the ending when the cars are watching the other Pixar movies. Too funny!

OK, enough of sitting in front of this computer.

Except for eggnog, all the supplies for next week's feast have been laid in. As usual, the only sucky part was having to go to Kmart to get the Kellogg's stuffing. Why is that forsaken place the only place that carries that? Grrrr. I'm going to make the Orange Cranberry stuff for sure. This will be the first Thanksgiving that we don't have cranberries from a can. Man, the cost for the feast was more than last year. I wonder if fuel costs have contributed to that? I will it was next week. I love cooking!

Everyone needs a light box. As a scrapbooker, I use mine all the time. They work great for those little embossing stencils or to hand-letter something. They're great for kids, too. When you were little, did you ever have to trace something and ended up taping it to a window? It's uncomfortable to do it that way and it only works while there is a light source outside. You can get a good one over at SuppliesNet.com. They have model called the Porta-Trace Light Box for only $32. Not a bad price for all the use it will get!

It's going to be non-stop for me today. I just printed a bunch of online coupons because after work, Dad and I are doing the bulk of the Thanksgiving shopping. I also have that two-hour premiere of Medium to watch tonight. Yay! I've got a graphic in progress for Marcus' website to finish, I need to send off a part-time job app after I finish updating my resume and write a cover letter. I've got three loads of laundry that need to be put away. I need to put a couple of things on eBay, too. Have a good Thursday, everybody!

Campbell's Soup is running their Click for Cans promotion again this year.

This year, one NFL team will earn a donation of Campbell's® soup to the food bank of its choice. How much soup? We'll get the official stats for all the players on the winning team's official roster and donate one can for every pound the total team weighs! So far, the Green Bay Packers remain the undefeated Click for Cans champs – will they stay on top, or will they get a run for their money this year? It's up to you!

Don't be discouraged if your team doesn't get the most clicks. The team that improves the most in the number of clicks from last year will also receive a donation! We'll donate 2006 cans on behalf of the team that shows the most improvement in the number of clicks from last year.

Each day you can vote for your favorite NFL team (Go Broncos!). There's still 31 days left in the competition, so head over there and VOTE!
