I love going home for the weekend. I come back feeling more relaxed.
Thanksgiving was fun. I love seeing my family. We always have a good time. We got to my parents house on Saturday pretty early and started making apetizers. We were all in charge of bringing something and Mike is practically the best cook on the face of the planet, so I got to sit back and do nothing. Mike made wings with the greatest cranberry sauce any of us have ever had, along with these little edible cup things filled with stuff. Tasty. They actually didn't last long at all. My family isn't planning on getting rid of Mike anytime soon!
The horrible part is that my uncle and his girlfriend were sick and couldn't come, my cousin and his wife couldn't come, Mike slept through dinner, and my aunt got in a car wreck on the way to dinner. I got made fun of for drinking vodka though. I guess that is better than drinking a bottle and half of wine like I managed to do last Thanksgiving.
My Grandmother required all of us to show up with a photo album so we could look at funny pictures of all of us. I will get my hands on some and figure out how to put them on here.
I did find something amazing in the metropolis of Albion, Idaho though; hazelnut Rogue beer. I am a beer enthusiast, and I had no idea that Rogue made a hazelnut beer! I almost cried I was so excited.

Thanksgiving . . .
Happy Thanksgiving!
I truly do love Thanksgiving. I spend time with my family (I don't get to do that very often anymore), and relax. I always go to my parents house with my mother's side of the family. We cram twenty people into a small house and wander in circles aimlessly, trying to talk as much as we possibly can. I miss them all so much and have so much to say that most of the time I try to sit back and listen. You would be surprised how much can be said in such a short amount of time.
I have to wait for the endless chatter. I can't go home until Saturday and that is historically, when our family does Thanksgiving. Two days couldn't go any slower than this.

Fear and Loathing in . .
I have been meaning to start one of these blog-thingys for a while now. Meg and Jen are mainly to blame for this along with my lack of creative outlets. Now I am going to rant and rave and cause Internet havoc. Probably not; but I am sure that some odd things will come of me sharing my bizarre happenings of life. On with the show. . .
Mike and I rented Gonzo, a documentary on Hunter S. Thompson the other night and I was very impressed. For the two people that may possibly read this, Hunter S. Thompson was a great journalist and covered a wide array of topics. His most famous work is obviously Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He rode with the Hell's Angels for a period of time and covered the election of 1972. Read some of his stuff if you ever get the chance, I find him very interesting and pretty comical at most times. He has a good perspective on a lot of issues.
One of favorite quotes from him is, "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." Seriously, check his stuff out. The documentary was extremely interesting, I suggest starting with that. It gives good insight into what the man was about. I actually bought the autobiography Gonzo for Mike a few months ago and I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Mike loved it, and he never reads.
