Post- Thanksgiving Summary

Wednesday at 2.15 pm: a car of four college kids set off from Ashland, ultimately bound for Florence. Dropped off a friend in Coos Bay, continued north. Got dropped off at Kyle's parents' house at 6.30-ish (i think). Consumed mass amounts of delicious spaghetti, then settled in to watch Star Wars.

Thursday at 10 am: Kyle's littlest sister came into what was technically her room to talk me awake. Didn't work. Next thing I knew, Kyle had jumped on me. That worked. Thanks, honey. After the best shower in the world (no flip-flops, just homey shower goodness), I was rolled out to the entire Kyle's People family. I think they approved. Or at least, I hope they did. Mass consumption of Thanksgiving Lunch goodness.

Thursday at 3 pm: Kyle's mom drove he and I 60 miles inland to Eugene, where Thanksgiving Dinner was being cooked. Yeah that's right, we did two Thanksgivings. It was incredible. I loved every minute of it. Especially the stuffing that my dad made... he tried to make enough extra that I'd get to take some back to SOU with me on Sunday... yeah, I'm already planning on going downstairs in a few minutes and eating the small portion that's left.

Friday at 5.30 IN THE FUCKING MORNING: after ~3 hours of sleep, Kyle woke me up for our big Day-After-Thanksgiving-Sale Shopping Extravaganza. First store failed, but the second two panned nicely: a DVD player and 6 DVDs were acquired for a total of $40. yay! we finally have a DVD player! it's a magical thing. i hope the damn thing works.

Friday at 8.30 am, same FUCKING MORNING: we came home with our loot and promptly fell back asleep on the couch. didn't wake up until 1.30 this afternoon.

Friday at 3 pm: Entire Meghan's Clan and Kyle piled into Meghan's Family's Big White Mom Van and drove back to Florence for a combination Kyle drop-off and Meghan's Parents' Anniversary Dinner Thingy. Anya and I parked it at Kyle's house while Mom and Dad went out on a "romantic dinner" at Florence's Thai restaurant. The left-overs smelled good as we drove home around 9 this evening.

Which brings me to now... I'm sitting here in my parents' home sleepy and debating over whether or not I eat the stuffing. Ok, debate over, I'm going to eat it. Maybe even take an epic jax excursion. Tomorrow with any luck I'll get a WORKING cell phone, to replace the beat-up one I've been carting around since January before last. What's wrong with it, you ask? Well, for one thing, the damn phone won't make calls half the time. It makes odd noises, doesn't always ring, the case is broken and falling off, and frankly, I'm sick of seeing it. Another possible highlight of tomorrow: I may go to see "RENT" with Anya in the theatres. So excited! It looks fucking awesome.

And with that, I am going to go make some tasty math: stuffing + microwave = happy meghan. Brits out!

somebody left their copy of Episode V in my television... but that's ok, since i'm hauling it back to SOU on Sunday. yay for us finally having a tv and a dvd player!
