once again...
because making up stupid traditions is always fun, here's one started last year. last year's post...
and now the parallel aka thankstaking part deux:
i thought i'd update you all on what's going on here at the Landry residence:
my brother isn't coming at all this year.
oh, my brother has since finished beauty school and is working in a salon as sort of a really talented but aspiring shampoo boy of sorts, but he's basically better than all the other people at his work, he just lacks experience. i think he's better because of his confidence...you know how that works. so yeah, he's not cutting my hair this thanksgiving, but he did just cut it last month and this year i DO have the mullhawk rockin.
there are seven people living in this house, our guest room has a guest in it and our living room has been taken over by two more. it's intense and loud...and the things i want are always occupied.
