So, Thanksgiving was nice. I went to Cincinnatti to see my aunt and uncle, and my cousin her husband, and their two children were there as well. I got to speak with my brother, and my other cousin on the phone, so all was well. My family was great. We, of course, set out to eat around 2 or so, and actually ate at about 5.....but we had good food. I ate a lot of potatoes, sweet and reagular.....and a bit of the salmon..yum....no turkey for me please! WE left a little late because of the snow that was shit upon us on wednesday. All for the best though, because the drive was not that bad. Got back to the bend friday night.....slept a lot....now I am hungry again! What gives.
On another note, I got this email from a friend of mine in college that I had previously thought to have blown me off after she graduated. I had left several messages with her on her cell phone, so, what ever, right? Anyway she e-mails me this:
i was so glad to get your email, even though it is a forward. i have been
trying to get a hold of you. i lost your cell number in the move and have been
emailing your iu account in the hopes that you might read it. all my inquires
as to your info were unproductive. i have had news of you through kimmi which
has been nice. i'm glad that things are going well for you and andy and that
you have landed a stellar job teaching younguns about sex. sounds great. i
would love to talk and hear how life is from you. my computer access is rather
limited as i am living the impoverished life of a writer on the west coast. i
have a one bedroom cottage aka complete and utter shit hole house. i have a
puppy named maddy who eats everything she knows i adore and doesn't eat
anything that was bought for her to. she also truely believes she's human and
talks all the time. i'm currently working a job similar to all my others while
i continue on the job search. i'm volunteering at the public library and with
the young writers assoc. i absolutly love it out here. it is one of the most
beautiful areas i have ever seen. i don't think i'd be able to live without
mountains or the ocean again. it's been incredible difficult to get started
and more lonely than i had anticipated but things seems to be improving
everyday at this point. hope this email finds you well, would love to talk.
my cell number is the same and i check my email every once in a great while
when i have time alone with a computer.
So....what do people think? Kimmie? Am I nuts to think that this sounds a bit condescending, or is it just in my head? Anyway....any thoughts are welcome thoughts!!
Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and all of that stuff
