okdoke, i am back. i'm not leaving this time. promise.
it's been an eventful weekend:
wednesday, i went to santa's enchanted forest with the family. there were like 10 of us. hadn't gone there for the past couple of years. i had a really, really good time. it was a nice bonding time all in all.
thursday was that grand ol' turkey day. t-day was spent at the mom's this year. the turkey turned out pretty good, and i deserve some props for that because i did most of the touching/turning/handling of it. also, i made some perfectly smashed mashed potatoes and had a successful first time making peach cobbler. the grandparents came and it was a nice, relaxing dinner. later on, we spontaneously decided to go see harry potter. it was as good as the movie could get without being 10 hours long to cover the details.
friday. that much-talked about black friday. and yes, i did give in to some of the crowds. however, it was at a decent time. got the most expensive pair of shoes i now own. also, got some 5 buck flipflops =) that always makes me happy. the mom and i then saw Rent. it was everything i anticipated. needless to say, i was pretty happy with it. yea, they added some things here and there and changed a few things around, but they stayed true to the show. and that's what matters. i was thankful for the fact that they made angel die later on. with the play, i bawled the entire 2nd act, from when the curtain when up to when it went down, because of that. i only cried the last half hour and then some after thanks to that little scene mixup. later on, had chris' surprise party. missed him walking in, but oh well. he was more or less not expecting it, which is what matters. that was a lot of fun.
saturday and sunday were blah days. went to the dads early on saturday. didn't do too much of anything there that's notable. i'm probably not going to georgia for christmas =( that makes me really sad.
schools back in full swing. the teachers seem to be wanting winter break already, so it hasn't gotten too stressful yet. but god, am i tired when i get home. well, i think that's it. more or less.
don't get too fed up with those leftovers, N
