vacation is just about over...
Ah it's Friday, and I only have 2 days left of vacation. It almost doesn't feel like I had one! There was so much driving and planning, packing and unpacking, loading and unloading cars. Oh well, I had a wonderful time. I spent every night with Lou, and now I miss him terribly even though I saw him this morning. When you spend every night with someone for a length of time, it makes it hard to say goodbye. UG. Ohhhh well.
Thanksgiving was pretty good, although stressful. It was at Heather's house, with 24 people, and it was INSANE. Lou and I had a pretty good time, his mom KIND OF did. It's complicated. She didn't stay very long, but I guess she wasn't like...mad or anything. I don't know. Shit happens I guess. Chris (older cousin in the Marines) was weird to Lou, and that really pissed me off. Honestly, I don't think he should have a fucking say in who me, Heather and Megan are dating if he doesn't give a shit about the rest of our lives. I can't remember the last time he asked me about school or future plans or anything. Just total negativity towards my boyfriend. I don't CARE if Lou has tattoos SO DOES CHRIS. Whatever. He was just being an ass. Like, honestly. He didn't even give me the time of day. I always think he's pissed off at me, and I realized last night that he's not, he's just a dick. I'll get over it. Chris' opinion of me used to matter a lot, because he was the "old, wise" cousin. Now, not so much. I'm always so fucking nervous to see him, and then he always does something to piss me off. Like, not talk to me, but be mean to my boyfriend. COOL CHRIS. COOL. His wife was wonderful as always. She makes me happy. She asks us about stuff and talks to us. It's not too hard for her to be updated on our lives though, because she does have a facebook.
I don't know, it's like Danny and Chris are polar opposites. Danny (mom's side of the family) is probably the same age as Chris, or at least close. She hangs out with us, we have movie nights every time we go to Pennsylvania, she emails me pretty often asking how I am and wanting updates on my life. And Chris just...doesn't care! When I get married, I should totally invite his wife and not him HA. That would be SWEET. Naw, my mother would kill me.
Anyway, enough bitching I swear. I'm overtired from all the traveling this week! But now I'm back in Burlington. I was supposed to come back last night, but I didn't want to leave Lou yet, and I was too tired to drive. So we stayed up with his mom watching National Treasure 2 and drinking Heineken. But I left this morning and it feels like I left something back there with me. I'll probably see him tomorrow night, and definitely on Wednesday, so it's no big deal.
Last night, we were trying to decide what kind of a house we want. He said "well tell me soon so I can start designing it soon." One of his dreams is to design and build his own house instead of buying one that KIND OF works for him. And, with that, he's always wanted to have someone with him to help him design it, you know, a partner, a collaborator, so that it comes out perfect. We both want a columns on a house, of course those are expensive.....haha. But we love columns. At the same time, we love wooden interiors, so we'd have to make it work. The Dean's office, here at school, is in my favorite building ever, it's the standard UVM red brick with Corinthian columns and porches EVERYWHERE. But the inside is wood, and it's absolutely beautiful. There's this one hallway that's just all glass...guh it's perfect.
Oh, last thing before I get off this thing, I downloaded one of my favorite childhood games....Gizmos and Gadgets...best game ever! The sound doesn't work, but no big deal, I have it!
