Since I'm writing this a day late, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I did, for the most part.  I went to my aunt and uncle's house up near Porterville and saw some family I hadn't seen in a while, some in over a year.  We had lots of great food (traditional Thanksgiving stuff-turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, lots of pies, etc.) and played pool at their pool table and just visited.  I also watched some football (all the games were blowouts).  Funny thing is, I forgot to say what I was thankful for!  So, I called my aunt and told her what I was thankful for, and I'll say so here, too.  Here goes.  I'm very thankful for God, my family, my friends, for everything I have, and last but not least, the Centennial High School Cheerleaders (as mentioned in my previous blog-read it to see why).

So, yesterday was great and happy for me, but today, just a mixed bag of feelings.  It was good for the most part, until this evening.  I had to work this morning, so unfortunately, no shopping (or at least trying to shop among the crowds!) for me.  This evening, my day went a little bit downhill (things could certainly be worse), when I went onto www.bakersfield.com (where I'm known as bryanjackson for those who may be curious) and found that my "Trusted Reviewer" status had been lost (apparently yesterday-I didn't get on the internet so I don't know for sure)!  So, I guess that's not too bad, but I took great pride in that status, hence the reason why I'm a little upset right now.  Now, I can and will hope that I get it back soon, but for now I'll get used to not having that status and get happy again!  After all, its just a status.  I'm not asking for sympathy here necessarily.  I'm still thankful for everything I do have!

Well, now I gotta ask, "How was your Thanksgiving?"  Now, its time to go get ready for bed.  Hope for happiness and peace tomorrow and forever to all!  Thanks for reading.
