Weekends are nice
Thanksgiving was nice - quiet. Apart from me having a spazz moment and forgetting essential brownie ingreients (I suspect it amused the pair of males I was with), which meant no brownies, it was nice. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
domnall and I went to my dad's place, which meant that domnall got to listen to dad and I ramble about way to many topics. *grin* Dad made jambalaya (yummy!), we stuck in Chasing Amy and all was good.
Also clipped Bartholomew's wings - which was quite amusing... It knocked him down a few notches and resulted in nearly complete silence except for when he hopped onto dad's shoulder and started being Mr. Cute.
Honestly, it was quite good. Much though I do like the chaos of my extended family's holidays, it was nice to spend it just with dad and the boy. For so many years, it's been somewhere around 15 people, with various others stopping by. It just made a very time to only be with two other people and not answer the endless questions about how life's been for me, and instead debate whether or not Apocolypto is worth seeing based on previous Mel Gibson films and the other films coming out (or already out) this season.
And chicken and ham jambalaya made a very nice change from the traditional turkey and stuffing.
Granted though, this now means the start of the holiday season of DOOM. I still need to get some presents for people. I like Christmas because it means I get to get things for people. Don't know why, but I just do. it's nice seeing people's reactions when they get presents. Makes me happy. *grin*
I don't like the fact that the Christmas season starts right after Halloween, but it's the way things are. And I'll grumble and all that, but I'll live...
Granted, I've now got a four day weekend - well, I'm now left with three days. There's still homework to do, and I'll probably do a few fun things (movies!), but right now, life is... good.
