Not much going on at the moment. Been playing some Fallen Earth, helping one of my clan buddies grind. If that sounds boring, that's because it is. The only redeeming factor is that you can rush through the low-level quests rather quickly, and you get to stock up on low-level materials for crafting.
We watched some more Hawaii Five-0, The Sing-Off, and Once Upon A Time, but what I'm really looking forward to is tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy, so we find out whether or not Opie hit the bull's-eye ...

Home again! The drive back was rather uneventful on our end, although the roads were packed and we got stuck in two traffic jams due to car accidents. Luckily, nothing appeared too serious; from what we saw, the people involved looked unharmed.
Today is Cyber Monday, so there might be some good deals online. Not really hunting for anything in particular. All I did over the weekend was buy some new sneakers, but I'll be keeping an eye out. You never know I might bump into a sale that's too good to pass up.
After our drive, we plopped on the couch and watched a few episodes of Hawaii Five-0, and the latest The Walking Dead (finally some closure!).

Thanksgiving weekend is almost over. After breakfast today, we're driving back home. As usual, as pleasant as this trip was, we're always glad to head back home.
Having done nothing but eat and shop for the past few days, my dinner was banana split ice cream. My rationale was that it's milk! Sister-in-law works at Haagen Dazs, so we get all the free ice cream we could want. Can't beat that!
While sitting around, we watched a few episodes of Person of Interest, the new Grimm series, as well as True Legend movie. Just catching up ...
