have you had your latin kiss today?

"they painted up your secrets, with the lies they told to you, and the least they ever gave you, is the most you ever knew"--goo goo dolls

hey hey
ok, so i'm not gonna lie. (i had something else planned for this, but my office is right in front of the kitchen, therefore when people are 'entertaining' or just making 'coffee maker talk' [no water cooler up here], they tend to do it RIGHT in front of my door, and sometimes people have no sense of their "inside" voices, therefore, it kind of disturbs me...luckily i'm not working at this moment...but still)

anyways, not gonna lie, i wish i was home in bed. i had planned to go to sleep before 12 last inght, even 11, but what with my lack of attention, not to mention, insomnia, trying to adjust back to regular texas time, it was about 12.30. therefore, when the jb & sandy show went off this morning, not only did i want them to SHUT UP b/c i don't like to listen to them, but it was too earlyyy.. (you may wonder why i wake up to them if i don't like them, it's for this reason exactly. because if i don't like them, i'll wake up and turn them off, allowing me to actually wake up. if it was a show i liked, i'd stay in bed listening to them) ANYWAYS, last year this time i was in the midst of taking like 10 days off school, it was AWESOME. yeah so pretty much everyone i know is either out of work or school: my boss, the singletons, anyone i know in college. boo.

so yesterday was busy, and i went to lunch with my mom. around 3pm, my mom called me to tell me my great aunt had passed away yesterday morning. (sorry to be a downer). it's sad, but she was old and sick and it was a matter of time, i suppose. does that sound morbid? i didn't mean it to. i wasn't very close to her, but it was my grandma's brother's wife, so my grandma's brother is now officially the patriarch of the family, being the last from that generation alive in our family, that's sad. :( maybe i should save that drama for the family blog. anyways, this has caused our holiday plans to go a little off course, but not entirely b/c apparently we were already going to SA this weekend ...my mom is fickle. so thursday is still here as planned, but the funeral is friday, so we'll go down there for that.

enough downers.

last night, i just did laundry and cleaned my house and watched some old recorded tv and Friends. I have 2 more discs left to go. i also ripped my christmas cd's so they are ready to be put on itunes and then on ipod so i can listen to holiday music. woo hoo. it was really exciting. honestly.

so i was getting ready this morning when i realized that: 1. the shirt i was wearing apparently missed the last set of laundry (boo.) and 2. that TOMORROW is THANKSGIVING!?! whaaat? um yeah. kind of freaky. i have volunteered to make green bean casserole and broccoli cheese casserole. don't judge me b/c those are 2 of the easiest things to make! i'm helping aren't i?! so i'm going to my parent's house pretty early (depending on the hangover i acquire from allison+boyfriend and maybe art's visit tonight) tomorrow and will begin cooking with my mom. fun. it should be interesting, it could be anywhere from 10 - 15 people. some which aren't even family...ok mom (she gets generous)

so anyways, i'm really hoping for a dog, a lot of the people i send applications to, keep saying "thanks, we received your application, if you really are interested come to the meet & greet this weekend" (so because i have to be out of town, does this mean i don't really want the dog?! NOOO!) whatever. i'm sure the right one will come along.

wow i'm really reaching for blog material today. i apologize. i may not write in here for awhile, so in case i don't, have a GREAT TURKEY DAY!!!!

peace out
