My Thanksgiving weekend was pretty good. Busy but good. I got to spend it with Vernon's family. We went to his sister's house and relaxed, played games, talked and laughed...tons! It made me homesick but for the most part it was fun. Then Jaymie and I got up at the ungodly hour of 3:30 am to go shopping on Black Friday. It wasn't as chaotic as I thought it would be and we found some pretty good deals!
I'm starting to think that I need to hang around single people. Being around married couples all the time reminds me of what I had and stupidly let go. It's like a slap in the face and I'm starting to feel like maybe I am masochistic. Maybe I'm punishing myself by hanging around all these married friends. Don't get me wrong....they are tons of fun, but again, it's like ripping the wound open all over again.
The main drawback of hanging with single friends is the need for them to always go out. I'm so over that...being in the same clubs or bars and seeing the same ol people. That's not for me. Maybe I should take up a cooking class....
I was thinking yesterday that it had been an entire week since I had heard from Nate and I got a call while I was at church...it was Nate! The vampire magic must still be in the air for us. He left me a hilarious message and hearing about his life adventures makes me giggle. Although I don't think it made the 80 year old woman in front of him giggle, did it Nate??? I also got to talk to my cousin Charlie that I haven't spoken to in a very long time. It was good just to catch up and make plans for when I come home......
I'm anxiously counting down the days until I go home.....20 days to be exact!! 20 days until I get to see Nate and my family. 20 Days until I get to sleep in as long as I want, without worrying about being anywhere. 20 days until I sleep like a baby, with all my family under the same roof. 20 days until we are all at Blockbuster arguing over which movies to rent and leaving there an hour later with 5 movies! 20 days until all of us are eating dinner together, laughing and probably arguing too. 20 days until I'm at the beach. 20 days until I'm eating In N Out and Jack in the Box tacos! 20 days until I can have coffee with my daddy. 20 days until we are all in the kitchen making breakfast or dinner together. 20 days until I get to hug Tuna. 20 days until Pinky and I will be laying in her bed talking until 4 in the morning. 20 days until I put flowers on my mom's grave. 20 days is sooooo long........
