urgh.
i am home alone on thanksgiving evening. my parents left for work this afternoon, my eldest sister took my nieces to spend time with their dad's side of the family, and my other sister and brother-in-law are at his cousin's for dinner.
meanwhile, i've been intermittently napping, eating, and trying to finish a bottle of really, really good merlot.
my littlest niece tried to drink some of it earlier, and i told her that when she's old enough to have problems, then she can start drinking to make them go away.
in many ways, being left alone like this is pretty accurate as to how i grew up in this house. since my parents work nights and my sisters have either been in school or already moved out, i've been a latch-key kid ever since 5th grade. the poor eating habits and agoraphobic tendencies i had back then probably attributed to why i was a bit overweight for a while.
i like to think i've grown a lot since then though, but still, it really is nice to be left alone every now and then. my roommate is currently in georgia with his folks, meaning i have the apartment to myself this weekend. perhaps i'll keep up this trend of rolling solo and take a break from everyone else.
i also joined the iphone bandwagon, and transformed my nieces into weezy:
