There's one hour and fifteen minutes until I'm out of here! It's obviously one of the slowest days of the year at work, as about 3/4 of everyone already took today off anyway.
In one hour and fifteen minutes I'll be heading home to Jesse, packing up our rental car, grabbing Keanu in all his mew-cuteness and getting on the road towards central Massachusetts! I'm excited to spend a long four and a half day weekend with my family in the "countryside." Okay, it's not the country, but they only have like four neighbors.
It will also be Jesse's first Thanksgiving with my family, which entails a trip to New Hampshire on Thursday for a large (100+??) family reunion. I've always found it a rather tortuous event (especially senior year of high school and senior year of college - how many questions regarding my future can I answer?!), but Jesse is optimistic. It's my first time bringing someone to the annual event - even that dude I dated for five years never came - and my parents decided he should, since we're all "getting married" and whatnot. Plus, last year I managed to weasle out of it.
The days off will probably also be filled with yummy homecooked meals, movies, a haircut for me (woo! non-city prices!), and good cheer!
Is everyone excited for the long weekend? What are you doing?! I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Having Jeff around is the only way I get through those things. Leaning on him, whispering in his ear, "I like you so much more than all of these people."
