things i yearn to remember...
how i love thanksgiving. it was so wonderful this year. i realized that all my other thanksgivings, with all the other people, we so hectic. but we drove out there, to see everyone else, gosh. there were so many people. and i was kind of glad i wasn't there, but i was also glad i got to enjoy it, if only for an hour. then we went home and ate turkey. everyone else was talking about how they ate around like 12:30 or whatever...and i ate at 6:30. and then at like 7:30, chris, britton, kathleen, and i decided to play Risk. hm...good idea? yea...if you wanna stay up until 2:30 in the morning. lol. it was a great game. britton won. so then we went to bed. and i woke up at like 10:00 because my internal clock doesn't allow me to sleep any longer than that. so...i woke up. and then around like 2, april and kevin (aunt and uncle) came and we cooked ANOTHER turkey. this time it was fried turkey. and we had glazed carrots cooked in maple syrup, and potatoes, and biscuits, and homemade macaroni and cheese, and wow. just so much food. and we keep eating more and more and more. AHHH! haha. i love this. and now we're all looking forward to christmas eve dinner. because its going to be the same. nobody is letting my aunt cook...since its going to be in the north. nobody wants northern food...so we're all bringing food up. my grandparents car, gosh, its going to be stuffed with ice packed food. yummmm.
and like megan...i realized my christmas list consists of nothing. i want jewelry. and thats about it. jewelry and gift certificates (i don't usually like when my relatives pick out clothes for me..doesn't turn out well). im just glad my family will be getting together. my mom and my uncle seem to be getting over their dispute they had several years ago over something stupid...so thats good. and hopefully i'll get to see emily ann at some point. but i just want the holidays to be happy. and i want to shower other people with gifts. i don't want to spend money on myself. i do that way too much to be healthy. i want to use my money to buy other people things to let them know how much i love them. because thats all that matters. other people knowing how much i care. it would just thrill me. yay.
so i hope everyone else had a fantastic thanksgiving. jen...im glad you got to see your family from brazil. i know how disappointed you were when you couldn't go to the wedding! im glad your family is getting along. megan...im glad you and your mommy and sister aren't fighting. that makes the holidays happy. if it doesn't last, its okay. easha...im sorry you had to work. hey...you got a bonus! lol. amber...im glad you got to spend time with your brother. i know you miss him. im glad the holidays were good for everyone!!
