Thanksgiving

Well, now that the fattest day of the year is gone we can all look forward to the fattest time of year...
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving this past week. Mine was filled with family[glad to see everyone that could make it, Mary I know everything will be fine with you and the baby, sorry you couldn't be there, and Grandma, we all love and miss you!] and good food [mommy and daddy, it was all so tasty!-def felt good to be home].

Who did I see over my short period of being at home in NoVA...
Well first off Sean helped me catch the train at 4:40am on Wednesday so that I could make it in time for my grandma's funeral mass in NoVA. So neither the homeless or the pigeons got me, I was seeing headlines...anyways caught the train, figured the metro out. Can I just say that the DC metro is stupid. It gives me anxiety to have to keep my metrocard so I can leave! NYC is better. PERIOD. At least when it comes to that business...
Uncle Jim picked me up.
Funeral mass was...emotional, beautiful, spiritual, and everything I wanted it to be. I'm glad I was there.
I went to visit my 'black' family later that night in Centrville. That was fun, interoggated Nicole's new little guy friend...who let me tell you...she is 14! and he is 17!...mmhmm that's what I said...anyways though.
Then later I went to the Sullivan's abode. Bonded with the family...and I am looking forward to possible wood chopping and Christmas cookie making closer to Christmas...YES! But we shall see...
Thanksgiving was nice, the fam came over to my house this time.
Gill came over and we watched 28 Days Later, and 28 Weeks Later with Beccy.
Talladega Nights-2 days in a row is just a little over doing it...
Ate some leftover cake the next day, almost died from that...Yeah, never again.
Therefore anything to be done Friday Night was a wrap.
I did however manage to see Enchanted before I got food poisoning. That right there...is Mandy's life, only she would never decide to want to leave her happy fairytale life. It was funny, but you wont be missing anything is you don't pay the ridiculous movie prices to see it. Hmm...I'm thinking its worth a matinée, but do expect little kids everywhere! No escape. But it was fun to hang out with my cousins from Minnesota.
Oh and that WAS Black Friday btw. I did not step foot in a mall, but I did go to Reston Town Center briefly.
Got back on the bus to NYC Sat morning thanks to my parents...at 7:45 am. Even with extra food from raiding the pantry.
Now that I'm back in the city...Well this weekend was fun, I hung out with Stephs, Sean, Justin, Marielle, Lauren, and my Adrianne and TIMMY! Had some drinks, it was nice. Haven't felt like that in a while...
Now the rush begins of where I freak out because I have projects and finals and tests to study for. With only 3 more weeks left...yeah...its going to get crazy so for anyone who interacts with me between now and Dec 10th, I would like to apologize for any future crankiness you might experience.
Ok I am procrastinating on work I need to get done by writing this blog. So look forward to Holiday pics soon in NYC! whoohoo!

Spread the Cheer!
xxoxoo
Oh and this doesn't do justice, but I LOVE ANNA'S EYES! hahaha
