Turkeys we have heard on high...
The protets was awesome! Even my meat-eating Bridget was there, holding signs and wishing everyone a very veggie thanksgiving. It was peaceful and very happy, no ill-wishes to meat eaters, just a bunch of "veggie thnaksgiving" and "save a turkey" signs and a dancing dork in a turkey costume - me. I was very active in the costume and I waved, blew kisses, danced, and just had a lot of fun. I've got pictures, too, which I will add to my site as soon as I get to my home computer on Wednesday... if things go as planned.
My alarm clock went off this morning. I lifted my head off its resting place on Bridget's shoulder, and turned off the annoying buzzer. She sleepily shifted her head onto my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her. There is nothing in this world I loved more than that moment.
I'm wearing one of her shirts now (literally stole it off her back this morning :) ) and memories flood back to me as I smell the material. I'll end this section now to save you from the mushyness of it all, but I'm loving every bit of this.
Life's not exactly perfect, but I'm dealing with it. It'll be good to see my family on Thanksgiving. I need to find something special, not necessarily purchased, for my amazing brother who has achieved amazing grades this semester at Magnet. I'm so proud of that kid, but I miss him to death. He's the one family member I don't need freedom from and that's probably why I can allow myself to miss him so much. He's also changing so much now and I miss him. I don't want to miss the big things in his life, I want to know if he falls for someone, I want to know if he's had a bad day or needs to borrow money (I'll lend it to him!), and I wnat to be there for him. I'll just have to do what I can and spoil him when I see him. If any of you see him, give him a big hug from me and let him know I'm missing him dearly.
I'll be home on Wednesday morning, at dad's thursday, probably back in jersey on friday. let me know if you guys want to hang out!
