Post-Thanksgiving
Today is the biggest shopping day of the year… and no doubt that’s the reason that I carefully planned out my week in order to stay inside my house all weekend! Yeah, I’m not especially fond of crowds. Instead, what I’ve done all day is read… and read non-fiction, at that!
Yesterday was a very quiet Thanksgiving. Spurred on by an episode of CSI: NY that featured a 3D jigsaw puzzle as one of its primary clues, I broke out one of my own neglected puzzles and spent most of the day completing it, happily, with the Independent Film Channel playing a very wide (weird?) variety of movies in the background… Chosen because they don’t have the insistent and already-annoying holiday-themed commercials coming at you every ten minutes or so.
Here is the puzzle in progress, along with my purple toenails, Eeyore pajamas, and Heroes DVD set… (can you find them?)
Of course, since I did the puzzle on the floor, I seem to have overstrained my quads because of all the kneeling… I’m surprisingly sore today. I could come to like these 500-piece puzzles, though… because this one had so much script in it, I didn’t even use the picture on the box and I still completed it within one evening! I guess to be more honest with myself I should try completing one of my bigger puzzles without lots of straight edges to the picture… but where’s the fun in that?
Sooo… only 4 more weeks of these annoying holiday-themed commercials?
Oh, and the finished product…
