For I am full of words

chestnutcurlsLast night was weird. I laid down for a nap after dinner, not setting the alarm because I have lately been able to wake myself up at the right time. This time, it didn't work. I was awakened by a phone call at 7:10. My Bible study was at 7:30. I managed to get there on time, but I felt blah and disoriented for the rest of the evening. When I came home and tried to really go to bed, I couldn't sleep! When I finally did, I had bad dreams ranging from "The Internet police at work caught me surfing and they're going to fire me" to scary terrorist dreams. It was not a good night. So let this be a lesson to you: do not nap after dinner. :)
I was informed last night that my family and I are going to Texas for Thanksgiving this year. Until a few years ago, this was tradition, but then my grandmother decided she didn't want to "do" Thanksgiving anymore. I missed seeing my cousins, but it was pretty nice to be able to relax at home over Thanksgiving weekend instead of being stressed by familial tension and spending 12 hours in a van. Last year was the best Thanksgiving ever. Evan and Ryan came over for dinner, and Kathy and Em came over later, and we ate ravenously and watched football and acted like one big happy family. I was looking forward to more of the same this year, so I'm kind of sad about the change in plans. Ryan says I can stay and have Thanksgiving with them, but I know if I did that, I would be branded the Bad Daughter forever. And I haven't seen my extended family in years, so it's not like I don't want to see them. I just know they're going to treat me like a child while I'm there, and I know it's going to make me angry, and I'm really not looking forward to that. :P
LOL of the Day: I know I shouldn't think this is funny, but while movie-shopping on Ebay, I saw the title "While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock." Think about it for a minute. :)
Em's here. She forgot to call until late last night, at which point we were wondering whether she'd been blown off the road or something. :) But now she is here and we are going to laissez les bon temps rouler. Since they can't in New Orleans.
Last year, I...was a new employee, praying that I wouldn't get fired because of the post-9/11 economic problems. I was still living in my parents' house. Ryan was my best friend.
Five years ago, I...was a freshman at U of M. I had just started dating Jeremy and was just becoming friends with Kathy. It was a pretty happy time for me.
Today, I...am going to lunch with Lawson and Jeremy. Then after work we are having a big Friendsparty/spaghetti dinner at the apartment. Yay!
Tomorrow, I will...have lunch with Kathy and Em, and we will figure out some fun evening plans. Oh, and tomorrow is another Jeans Day at work. :)
Next week, I will...pay the rent, go to work, go to my usual Bible studies. I don't think anything important is happening next week.
Next year, I will...probably still be living with Kathy, working in the same job, doing the same things. Except I will also have a cat. :)
Five years from now, I will...I won't even try to answer this. Only God knows. :)
