Thanksgiving.

We've begun doing things to the house, which is turning out to be much more treacherous and time-involved than I initially thought. However, I am looking forward to the moment when I don't have to go somewhere else to check my mail and live out of my dry cleaning bags. It'll be nice when all of our things are in one location.

Thanksgiving weekend has been a really great time; I didn't get any of the things done that I was planning on doing, but I did get to have a nice time with my parents, with C and with ANR. On Wednesday, she and I went to go get our hair cut and, at one point, when we were both singing in the car it felt like "old times," or rather new times but old us. I don't know if that makes sense; it felt like however we change, whoever we become, there will still be our friendship. We ate good Italian food and talked about the future.

Thursday was fantastically good food and it really felt like C was truly a part of my family. We played cards and I watched him be his true self. We were totally stuffed however and didn't even have second dinner. But, we did have my stuffing (which is one of the few things I do actually make well) and my mom's Greek stuffing hanging out in the fridge, so my parents made me promise that we'd come back for dinner the following night.

Friday, I got some good shopping done with ANR while C took my car and did a few errands around the house. (It still feels extremely strange to do that). He and my dad bought things for the house around Home Depot (which I never thought would be a store that had anything for me at all...) and then he and I bought a COUCH! So, so, so exciting!

Today was the FSU/UF game (which FSU lost) but we've spent most of the day relaxing. As usual, I haven't graded anything that I needed... but we did get presents for relatives... and play guitar hero. Clearly productive. But clearly people for whom I should be thankful.
