To Be Thankful...
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I feel sorry for not spending more time with my family this weekend, but there were so many things I had to cram all into the short break. Unfortunately, homework was (is) excluded and I have to find some way to write my info hell paper of 15 pages in the next week.

Well, today most of the family did go see Harry Potter which was wonderful and made me very happy. I thought it was a bit long (damn, 2:45) but that they couldn't leave anything else out without taking away plot elements. Even Eleanor, my soon-to-be seven-year-old sister enjoyed it and was able to sit still through the whole thing. [More than I can say for some of the kids there.] She's really turning out to be quite the character. She was the only one in the family who volunteered to watch mom pull what was left of the turkey's lungs out and after dinner while we were all napping off the tryptophan, she points at me, says "you're a muslim!" and starts laughing. We had to explain to her that she *might* not want to do that in public. She, of course, countered with the excuse that she didn't know what a Muslim was. Yay for the naive political incorrectness of youth.

It has been a weekend of feasting, despite the fact that it hasn't done much to lighten my mood. We gorged ourselves on all the traditional fare on Thursday. Tonight was a sushi feast at Toyoda Sushi in north Seattle and tomorrow it's off to Ellensburg for the bf's family thanksgiving. YUM... more food that I don't have to buy/ cook for myself. Ah well, tiem for me to hit the sack. I miss my kitty and sleeping on an air mattress hurts my butt. =P
