Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
My Turkey Day was fantastic. My mother balked about not having a turkey, and said sh wanted rib eyes and mashed potatoes, which is NOT Thanksgiving food. I wasn't too happy about it, but luckily, rib eyes and all other non-turkey meat was marked up when we went to grocery shopping, and we ended up getting a turkey for $4! I'm not exactly a Thanksgiving-y person--not since my 9th grade history teacher told me that it was really a massacre--but I love the food and the smells and I *LOVE* cooking. The meal turned out to be fantasically prepared. My mom said that she couldn't have made it better, and I felt like I got the golden stamp of approval! My dressing tasted JUST like hers. It was really, really good. I also wrote down all of my mom's recipes because she does the "I just dump" method, but I want a point of reference, so I can pass them down to my babies.
I went to Indiana this weekend. And I probably won't be back for awhile, because I was so mindnumbingly bored. I love my grandparents, but they act like elderly people. John's always talking about death, and my grandmother talks about boring things. I don't know when that happened, it's weird. Also, none of my cousins were home when I mistakingly thought they'd would be. 74 cousins on my mom's side, you'd think someone would be around, lol. I only went because of my aunt. I love her to death, so it was nice seeing her, and I did enjoy surprising my grandmother. It's getting harder and harder to go back home, because the more time that passes, the less it feels like home.
I'm still unemployed. I've applies for about fifteen million jobs in the past two weeks, and I just want an interview. I actually miss working, and I never thought that I'd say that. It's crazy, but I miss having money. I miss having a reason to buy cute pumps and clothes. I miss feeling like I'm contributing something to society. I miss health insurance. I hope to have a job before Christmas. I feel like my life has been moving in slow motion since I moved in with the parents, and now that I'm unemployed, it's STALLED. It's really frustrating. I'm even thinking about working retail right now, and that would be a fucking nightmare!
