I don't celebrate holidays for religious reasons, but I do take advantage of the fact that here in the US, they do observe it. That being the case, I get to have days to spend time with my family.

Before the trip began, I helped to organize the departmental potluck. There was good food, and a lot of desserts and lots of dip. The VP of the department was kind enough to get a 20 lbs. turkey for us to eat.
Someone brought their Nintendo Wii for all to play, some people played pool, and we all filled ourselves and went home. I did all of the above. I got a chance to play Wii Sports - Boxing, where I proceeded to knock the guy out by repeatedly punching the opponent in the face and groin. I played pool where I proceed to lose.

My brother Ric and his girlfriend Alicia flew in on a Thursday evening and when we got into town we basically went to sleep.

I woke up at 6:30 to check out and see if I could purchase a Nintendo Wii, but to no avail. Instead, we went home, took a shower, sat around, and then went out to Best Buy again to look around. I bought Elite Beat Agents for the Nintendo DS (and haven't put it down yet).
Afterwards, we went to go and eat Hmong food, went home and played a lot of Texas Hold'em.

It was my parents' housewarming party, and so we had quite a few relatives show up. But even though the house was full, we still had 3 families absent.
Did I mention that A.J. came with me to Fresno/Sanger? If not, he did come along. He always played the guitar, and my dad asked him to play "Dust In the Wind" about 30 times. Sorry, A.J.! :)
Sunday & Monday, November 26 - 27
Sunday was our trip home. It was filled with the rainy cloudy weather of San Francisco on Sunday, and a bright clear day of Monday.
Though I live in San Francisco, I still love visiting every part of it, and taking pictures like the tourist I am. :) It is always a joy to visit the bridge and walk along the paved roads down to Fort Point. And walking around Baker Beach and Crissy Field.
My older brother's girlfriend is from Poland, and she has never really cared too much about coming to San Francisco. Or to not misquote her, "I never told myself that I had to visit the Golden Gate Bridge before I die, or anything, but I am happy to be here." All-in-all, it was a very eventful and busy, 5 day weekend for me.

So, how did you do with that weekend goal? No goal? What did you do this weekend?
So, after they fixed the horrendous typo, I feel a little better. I read the QotD and was shocked! :-O Oh whatever... Human error, right?
Anyhow, I did not catch the QotD in time, and so I was not able to post a goal, however this weekend I went to Fresno, did a Mid-Term Test, turned in a Term Project Proposal, and completed a 5-page report, while I went to a family picnic (Khang Kai!!!), went to the mall, and watched my little cousin. All this in TWO DAYS!
And who says there's just not enough time in the day?
Pictures of the picnic, along with pictures of my family and such, in another post, soon.
