I miss my cat. :(

Thanksgiving sucks

The day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving, my least favorite holiday. Why do I hate it so much? Probably because my birthday occasionally falls on it and that pisses me off. I strongly dislike having to do things I don't want to do on my birthday. Speaking of that, yesterday I turned 33. So far it feels the same as 32 did, but I am sure it will set in eventually. I've been feeling old for a while now and I was cheered to realize that when my mother was 33 I wasn't even born yet. My child is eight, and he is only nine inches shorter than me. He is definitely his father's child.

So on Thursday there will be 9-10 people eating dinner at my house. I honestly prefer having it here to going to someone else's house, that way I know I am getting what I want. I have many things to do in preparation; pies to bake, cleaning to do, and other crap I don't need to do, but probably will anyway because I am obsessed with making everything perfect.

Right now Miles and Erik are in the living room watching 'The Wizard of Oz', which is, quite possibly, my least favorite movie of all time. It's weird and creepy with flying monkeys and midgets dressed up in rainbow-colored clothing. I am avoiding that room at all costs.

I love New Kids on the Block

*sigh* Went to see New Kids on the Block at the Civic Center last night in Portland. It was awesome...I honestly didn't think I would care this much after 20 years, but I am totally speechless. A really great show, worth the wait and the money. I was slightly expecting to see middle-aged guys with guts prancing around the stage trying not to injure themselves. But they honestly look better now than when I was 13. *sigh*

No lunch for you!

School vacation is over. Most people are happy when their kids go back to school. I admit, I like not having to deal with child care issues, but I really hate making that kid's lunch. I don't know what it is about it, but whenever he has time off and I don't have to make him a lunch, I am ecstatic. He just announced he wants hot lunch tomorrow. Yay!!

Off to breathe.
