Mary's Life Adventure: November 2007

I don't really remember what order everything occurred in, but here's what's been going on.
I got the rest of my midterms back, and did very well on all of them. An A- and the rest As.
Work is the same as usual.
A couple weeks ago, we went out to Ligonier, which is beautiful in the fall. A friend's great aunt lives out there in this big gorgeous house from about 1900, on a farm in the mountains kind of. It was a very nice relaxing day. We went hiking, tried to fly a kite, there was a tree swing, and had some fresh picked apples. yum. Afterwards we stopped at some crazy bar in town that someone had told us about. Some really old guy named Joe owns it, and he used to go on all these safaris. There were I think 4 rooms of animals he had collected and stuffed from just about every continent...an elephant, giraffe, lion, crocodile, polar bear, kangaroo, and tons of other creatures, some that I've never heard of. It was pretty wild.
This past weekend was a lot of fun. Friday, I went downtown for light-up night, which is Pittsburgh's holiday season. It was really nice. There was live music, and Santa, and fireworks. Macy's does a holiday window display, so we also saw that unveiled. It was really pretty...scenes from Cinderella. Then my friend had game night, so we played board games all night.
Last weekend, Amanda and Courtney came to visit. That was so wonderful =) We went to the Greek store to get motion, and I showed them campus, and we went out both nights. It was such a great weekend =)
Yesterday, we had a Thanksgiving potluck dinner at our house. That was really nice, and the food was delicious. We had a 22lb. turkey, and there's very little left. (His name was Albert). Sandra video taped me preparing it, so if I can figure out how to put that on here sometime, I will. haha.
