happy thanksgiving...

       it snowed on my way home from columbia last night, hence the change in scenery. i was ready for it, too. it's good to be home. right now i'm sitting by the fire and watching a movie with the 'rents. i was supposed to be going to the plaza lighting with friends -- well, i was going largely to see brandon. i don't know. i don't like large groups and i wasn't really feeling very social. and i wasn't sure of the plans. so i'm home. and i'm comfortable.

       it really has been good to be back. this is the first time i've been back since june, and i was happy to see that my cat still remembered me. after teaching my grandmother how to play tennis and bowling on the wii (quite fun), i made dessert for our big family thing today. pecan pie, french silk pie, and baked caramel apples. dinner was fun. smaller than usual and the kids seemed to be more energetic than ever. which means i got them. so i riled them up properly, then sent them back to their parents. they had it coming.

       i probably should have gone to the plaza. we might be doing something tomorrow instead, though. anyway, i didn't really have anything to say, but i wanted to wish you all a happy thanksgiving. take care.
