i haven't spoken on here in a long time, so here i go... ummm first and foremost it is COLD up in Caldwell. there is no heat so i'm wondering what the problem is and its like in the 30s outside. this is not going to work at all. i have on jeans and sweatpants, two sweaters with a t-shirt under them and my behind is still cold. i'ma put gloves on before i crawl into bed too.
well anyways thanksgiving...hmmm it was ok. the food was good as usual...but as usual being out in the country made me sneeze. it was really great to see all my fam: most of my cousins, aunts uncles and my granmom who is 83 and grandad who turns 90 this friday dec. 5. we had a bday party for him saturday night and about 100 people came and we left the mic open for people to come up and say things to my grandad or about him (this lasted for about 3 hrs). everything was cool, but then grandad mentioned the death of my youngest uncle, keith (died aug 3 2000 when he was almost 33) and grandaddy just broke down mid-speech and started crying and i had never seen him cry before so i started crying and so did my sister and a lot of my other cousins, that was kinda sad... BUT i recovered by going to go get some cake shortly thereafter which made me feel a little bit better.
at any rate, we stayed in mississippi a little too long this time because we ended up coming back with the thanksgiving traffic and when i-20 became a parking lot a half hr west of birmingham i was a little mad because i was trying to get back to campus and see my person and get a little work done (seeing as how i do have a spanish presentation tomorrow and i have a research paper due on monday) but yah kno, that didn't happen so i ended up getting the presentation together in the car and in ruby tuesdays while we were waiting on our food, which was good.
when i finally got back it was 10 and my parents still had two more hours to drive and then work in the morning. i hope they made it back b/c they didn't call me to let me know anything. my person came over to visit me while i was unpacking, but now i'm still upset because the room is really really cold and there is nothing i can do about it besides whine, but i'm going to be ok...lol and that was my day. :)
