here at cold stone. it's pretty bad. i work. and then on my day's off... you can still find me here. that's fucked up.
so... we move out in 2 weeks. and become residents of 58 Federal St; first floor. woot! four blocks away from the center of my life. the old port.
hope everyone had a really good thanksgiving. erika and i spent it with my parents and my little brother. my sister had the flu so she and andy stayed in minot. so it was just us 5 and it was great. no fighting. no storming out crying. everything was mellow, and warm and tastey.after dinner i helped mom with the dishes; while erika, dad and trey passed out in the living room in front if the remainder of the football game. then my mom and i sat down with them and went through the sales flyers and calculated our early morning shopping strategy for our black friday tradition. erika of course came a long and experienced the other point of veiw. because almost every year, she had a mall job and was forced to work black friday in the tiny little shoe stores. she fondly recalls ten moms with ten strollers with ten screaming babies all crammed into lady footlocker. which is the smalled store in the mall. they should switch with the sketchy christmas knick-knck store next to nest buy and pretzel time. that place is HUGE with nothing in it. and never any customers. just a suggestion.
anyway thanksgiving night we just didn't go to sleep because we'd finally fall asleep around 3am and we were meeting my mom at 4... so it just seemed logical to stay awake. of course at noon on friday we both had to work. and i had to work a double. i think we were up for like 49 hours with a hour nap in there some where.
the night before thanksgiving tho, erika and i went and saw RENT at the Nick... and i thought it was ok. if you've ever seen the musical it's VERY different. you can tell that they rearranged everything simply to fit their hollywoodized version. for what it was- it was great. but it could have been so much more if it were more if it were followed as written.
this christmas is going to be stressful. as we are right now, we have very little room for spending, if any. and the week before christmas we be in the process of finally settling into the apartment. so... if i'm no fun for a while... you know why. and i apologize.
so... there's my yearly update, and goodnight.
ps: james. i'm so sorry i missed our date at midnight. i feel like the worse person in the world. and on top of that, i think seeing you would have been just the medicine for me right around now. i can't believe i missed it. i'm so disappointed. i love you. and i miss you. and i think about you all the time. hope you had a good turkey day any how.
