Cheesey Alannis Morrisette Song Stuck in Head
Thanksgiving
My family: 5 kinds of pie but no stuffing...hmmm
Thanksgiving with my family was lovely in the usual awkwardness. Phillip is universally disliked as always and the yams were, as he enjoyed pointing out, undercooked. Kenna is adorable and ignored me all night, resulting in crushed feelings.
Mike's family Thanksgiving proved that neither of our families can really do Thanksgiving without some sort of weird dynamic...I suppose that actually made it a very typical event. Stephanie continued to impress us all with her oddness...my carmalized apple cheesecake entrenched me within Mike's grandfather's heart forever. Cinnamon and a hint of citrus with apple is truely autumn.
San Diego
When is this not the best city ever? Mike and I found that we are much more comfortable with my Dad's side of the family...not actually very suprising. Alex, my cousin, is everything I wish I was--adorable. Adorable clothes, adorable voice, adorable life. At first I was uncomfortable enough to dislike her but I truely believe this is an impossible task after 24 hours near her. She cooked us amazing breakfast and told us about San Francisco, where she goes to school to study to be an animator for Disney. This has cemented my desire to leave Las Vegas for the west coast no matter the monetary pitfalls (college loans). I will be fashionable, lovely, and on the path to sucess in lovely west coast university.
Ambition has ended its summer vacation and left me aching to be in the cool, rainy coast where I grew up.
