So...I'll fill you in a bit of how my Thanksgiving went!!
Stayed up till about 3am last night/this morning drawing and reading with my sis, my mum woke us up a half hour before we had to leave for brunch at my grandma's house...
We went for brunch and watched the Macy's Day Parade/the dog show at my grandma's house for 3 HOURS, came home, I went on DA, had to finish creating all the nameplates for the 35+ people attending Thanksgiving dinner at my Nana's house, realized I was running VERY late, and waited impatiently for my hair to be curled when I could've been doing more important things like picking out an outfit or setting up video downloads.
Thanksgiving dinner! ^-^ Family from all over the state, including 2nd cousins, great distant uncles and such, lots of little children too...*cringes*
My uncle came up to my sister and I and asked if we would read and then help edit the sci-fi teen novel he's writing [which we did with pleasure XD] and now I can't wait to read more! My aunt [one of the few people my sis and I can talk to comfortably on that side of the family] came over and started talking to us about Twilight [she's like, 30, but really cool and we love hanging out with her!] and how New Moon [the movie] was SOOO much better than the first one. She then proceeded to describe the only 'gay' moment in the movie where supposedly Bella and Edward are running at each other 'happily' through a grassy feild I have never read Twilight [well I tried reading the first book...twice. Just not enough angst/blood and too much romance for me XP] but I have seen the movie and I will probably see the new one with my sis tomorrow night XP
We then had pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake [never had it before-it was DELICIOUS], chocolate cake and more for dessert! Awhile later [after a few people had already gone home] my aunt came back and found me and my sister sitting on the sofa.
She had just opened our Christmas pic/card and was completely drunk. She started talking about this book series and how our medevial-themed card [we all got dressed up in Rennaisance costumes holding swords and axes for our pic-yes, my family is amazing XD] remind her of this other book series my sister read..The City of Bones/Ashes/Glass, something like that and she kept on repeating everything and saying how she loved us and how we kept her feeling 'hip and cool.'
It was the first time I'd ever been talked to by a drunk, but it was really funny. Makes me like her all the more ^-^
And apparently, my sister and I are the new babysitters for her 7 and 5 year old kids!! $10 an hour...that's if she remembers anything tomorrow morning!
Anyways, Thanksgiving was fun all the same! XD
Black Friday shopping tomorrow...well, not for me cxause I'd rather sleep in than spend money...I'll get up around 11am, go to LaBou's and mooch off the weary shoppers before returning home and starting my Physics homework XP
BYE!
