"Thanksgiving oh Thanksgiving, there sure is lots to eat..."

Thanksgiving oh Thanksgiving, it sure is an edible treat!  Seriously, every year since I was in 4th grade I have had that song in my head during Thanksgiving.  Thanks, Ms. Vaughn, for getting corny and catchy holiday songs stuck in my head for the rest of my life.  Oh I could bust out a few Halloween chorus songs on ya too.  The Christmas/Holiday ones though, I seem to not remember as well...

Thanksgiving's Thursday (as it is every year), and on Wednesday I'm headed to the SC mountains with my mom, dad, Leigh Ann, and her parents.  It'll be nice to get away, but for as much as I love my parents, what I really need is time away from them.  I'm living at home, and have been since mid June, and I think I've reached my breaking point.  My dad and I are bickering every 10 minutes, and it's gotten so I just don't speak because I know I'll over react, he'll annoy me, or something worse.  I move into my new apartment on January 1 (well, technically the 3rd) and it can't come quick enough.  I love my parents to death - a girl couldn't ask for more loving, helpful, thoughtful parents - but in order to maintain our parent-child relationship, this Child (now adult) has gotta get out ASAP.

I digress from the original point of this blog...anyway.  Thanksgiving.  I'm looking forward to being out of High Point for a while, especially with Leigh Ann.  I haven't really gotten to spend time with her in a while, and while I'll miss my brother (he has to work...the life of a trooper) it'll be nice to get to hang out with her.  And I'll get to finish "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest" and start a new book.  Although I think a good majority of the long weekend will be spent eating, reading and napping, another good portion will be spent on hand writing thank you cards for work.  We've fallen behind (yay last-minute graphic designer, woo hoo!) and I have to get this stuff done by the 30th.  And we've got our annual audit on the 29th (which also happens to be my birthday...27, thank you very much.  And yes, I'm old) so I will pretty much have no choice.

I started this blog at 9:30am at work with a point, and now it's 8:05pm, and I've just written the past two paragraphs and have no idea what I started today's blog for.  Dammit.  I am getting old ;)  Car!  I named him Chevy (like Chase) the Chevy and everyone seemed to like him this weekend!  I went outta town to the Carolina Panthers football game in Charlotte and so my brother and cousins and a few others got to meet the car.  It was a good weekend - family bbq on Saturday followed by hanging with the brother/sis in law Saturday afternoon, wrapped up with dinner and drinks downtown with the game crew, my cousin, his wife, and my friend Brett.  Sunday started early but was very enjoyable....I really do love my high point family!  Here's a photo from the game:

God, this blog is so off point I think I'll just call it quits.  I'll wait to post again when I have something valid to say instead of mindless rambles.  Now that I've wasted the past 5 minutes of your life, I'd like to extend an apology.  My bad.  But it'll probably happen again.

I kind of want to delete and restart.  ugh, but i wont.  or should i?  maybe no advances have been made in indecisiveness this weekend.
