Sigh.

I learned this about myself Thanksgiving week: I'm not meant to work at all. I'm meant to sit and eat. All day. I've accepted it.

Speaking of not working, New Second Job has been terminated (on my terms) due to events that transpired at First Job. It's a good thing. Well, it will be. Hopefully.

My neph is such a little hottie! I've been photoshopping like crazy so I'll post some of that tomorrow.

I'm crushing on this song: "Treason" by Kalai. And I've rediscovered my love for Brand New.

Did anyone go Black Friday shopping? I was up with Dev and my bro (thanks for ditching Ky-ha) at the dark hour of 4:30. Devin dropped me off at a violent looking Shopko but I ran into my high school tennis coach towards the end of the line so that was a good time. The boys were in line at Staples while I braved the crazy ladies at Shopko alone. We ended up getting some awesome stuff (mostly for ourselves. Crap.)! So we shopped until after eight, I took a fifteen minute nap and then went to work for some hours. Ga.

We got The Office trivia board game for my brother's birthday on Saturday and we played it Sunday. It's hard! I thought I was pretty well-versed but I have a lot to [re]learn. (Chelsea, is this the one you guys have?) But guess who still won...despite Devin and Brody's best attempts to sabotage... this girl.

Dev's grandpa also turned 100 on Saturday. 100! There was a very fun birthday party and I had fun hanging out with his family, especially those who don't live here and I don't get to see as much.

This morning I got pulled over about 1/2 block away from my house for frosty windows. Granted, the officer didn't actually say frosty windows, but that's what it was. And I got a ticket! (I did scrape them. But not to his liking.) The cherry on top was when I was signing the thing and water drops kept falling on to it from the window and the cop was all, "oh, it's getting all wet." And in my head I'm like, "YEAH. BECAUSE THE FREAKING SUN IS OUT. AND I KNEW IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SECONDS FOR MY BARELY FROZEN WINDOWS TO DEFROST, SO I SKIMPED A LITTLE ON MY SCRAPING." Like I wouldn't scrape that good on a really snowy cloudy day? Come on, man. Give me a little credit. Once again, I was without my proof of insurance and registration and license. I should really clean my car.

It was a fun holiday week!

Will the real C.H.S. please stand up?

This weekend my family went to Crystal Hot Springs. I'll tell you this: viewing their website now, I can say that it is enticing and misleading. I'm under the impression that little has been done to maintain this "natural wonder." (Their words.) Which is really too bad, because I think it actually could be really cool. Hey guys, how about starting out with extracting the flesh-eating bacteria that has infiltrated, well, everything?

Sometimes Ozzy does this when you talk to him.

So does Devin.

Brody, looking like a homeless person.

I love Friday.

The computer is great. We named him Oskar3000. He got a little pissed at me when I tried to install the RAM but after that everything went smoothly.

I couldn't have been happier to see the Laker's lose last night. I pretty much nothing the other team (who is it? Boston?), but I have no patience for the Laker's.

I find that my thoughts are becoming more and more cliché these days.

New room isn't working out. I keep sleeping in. I need my old, big window that wakes me up at like seven-thirty. And like, I would actually want to get up. Seriously! In the past week I've created a pattern of waking up [annoyed] anywhere from 8:30-9:00. No bueno. Maybe I should start sleeping outside.
