Thanksgiving Break.

A time to show gratitude for our packed to the brim cornucopia of bounteous blessings.

A time for overindulgence, for going to bed with a stomach ache, and for carbo loading (for no reason whatsoever, or to pad our "winter coats").

A time to spend extra time with people we love, and laughing, reminiscing, all night long.

A time for a trip to Salt Lake (though it be a quickie this time) for Mangum Family Turkey-Day dinner Wednesday night. Every year. It must be done. No questions asked.

A time to see too many movies in the theater; and consequentially overindulge (ah, yes, we have seen this verb before) the pocketbook. Hence, a time to rationalize a possible third viewing of Twilight. Again, no questions asked.

And most of all, a time to spend the former usual hours spent in the classroom, shopping. (...When I have a vehicle averaging 32 miles to the gallon, further excuses naturally extend themselves.)

PS: Graduation arrives on my doorstep in T-25 days.

PPS: Which really only means 12 "school days."

PPPS: That is LESS THAN two weeks!
