Happy ThanksGiving to everyone. We will be spending it home unexpectedly, Laia has a cold and a cough. Watching the Macys day parade right now. Chilly outside, about 31 F, but warm inside.

I finished watching Breaking Bad this week, such a good show (a 9.5 rating on IMBD). I am not catching up on Homeland's season 3, and with Nicole we watch Scandal together.

Nice list of apps:

Nice Saturday, started out early, it was my turn to take care of Laia while Nicole went out to New Jersey to get her hair done. We woke up, had breakfast, walked to Best Buy, met Hans there, browsed for a while, then headed home. In the afternoon we assembled and hang a bathroom cabinet - which took way longer than expected and was a pain. But it's done now.

In the evening we went to Longhorn on Route 17, very nice dinner with a Flo's filet, caesar salad and mushrooms, as usual

Got home, and now doing a few errands around the house.

What It's Like to Fail - the personal story of David Raether, a former comedy writer for the sitcom Roseanne who later became homeless. It is adapted from his memoir, "Tell Me Something, She Said."

Today we took a trip to Ikea to buy a few things for Laia's playroom. We also saw Nicole's dad and stepmom, and had a nice lunch at CraftBar, a Tom Colicchio restaurant, delicious food. We worked on assembling some of the furniture, all simple but I think will look nice.

BTW, yesterday was my Saint Day, St. Albert Magnus, celebrated November 15
