My brother commented, "There was something off. Very off." He was talking about our T-Day family get together. There was far less crazy and noise, but the only thing off was my cousin, B, who is busy getting ready to be deployed. Last year there were 38 people at our little get together this year there were 17; so that was part of it. Last year was an insanely good time. Today was a comfy, enjoyable soiree.
My nuclear family went to see "Four Christmases"; the movie exceeded are expectations, which really isn't saying much. We wanted to see "Quantum of Solace", but the sister had already seen it (and the goal was the entire fam going together.) If you're into cinematography as art, this isn't the movie for you. But, there were more than enough hilarious one-liners and scenes. A good time was had by all, smuggled peanut M&Ms and all.
And, I finally talked to M in Vancouver. I think, I've been subconsciously avoiding her because I promised her that I'd run the Nashville marathon and then haven't trained due to my work schedule. I made her miss her subway. Just the skeletal reconnection made me happy. She's dating a great guy, her church internship didn't pan out, she's reading Victorian mysteries. Dude, I have the cooolest friends.
Did you know the first American thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621?
