Post-Thanksgiving Rundown
[mood| 
Sore]
Thanksgiving was all right for me, outside of the migraine that decided to show up right before I started eating dinner round one at Ryan's aunt's house. Usually I'm pretty good at muscling through them, but this one made me incredibly nauseous so I had pretty much no appetite. Managed to make it through dinner without having to get sick, phew. Although, I always find it incredibly awkward when your at someone's house and all the women start cleaning after dinner, and you just have no idea what to do because everyone is grabbing stuff off the table and you have to like frantically find something to clean up to feel like you helped. There just seems to be some unwritten rule on the matter once you're an adult woman and I'm never quite sure how to go about it. Didn't feel real bad about not really helping this time since I felt awful. Had Ryan drop me off at my parents' house before he went with his cousin to go see their grandparents in Mt. Airy (his step grandfather was too sick to make it to his aunt's house), where I lied down in the dark until I felt well enough to handle lights and clashing food smells.
At my house for Thanksgiving round two it was just my parents, Jenna, and my dad's friend and his girlfriend. This time I was able to eat more, but didn't really have an appetite so there was no Thanksgiving gorge fest for me. At least I got plenty of leftovers to enjoy, including some homemade banana cheesecake.
Ryan and I also FINALLY revealed wedding plans to our families. June, 26 2010 in Maine at his grandfather's cabin on the lake for the ceremony, and then afterwards take everyone there to dinner someplace in Bar Harbor or Bangor, leave for the honeymoon, and then have a cookout for everyone probably at my parent's house some time later in the summer. Feels very relieving to know what we're going to do. Gotta see if work will give me a second week of unpaid vacation for the honeymoon. Really would like a second week because we would like to go to Europe from Maine, but a week just does not seem like nearly enough time to experience another country, especially for my first time.
Happy Black Friday Everyone!
