Nothing like a five month break to get those creative juices flowing. I've discovered the best thing about living on the west coast- football season. Football starts on Sundays at 10am- it's now just after 5, and the night game is starting. I'll still have time to watch Family Guy after this. Sweet.

It's been an interesting five months- I'm discovering that I don't get paid nearly enough money for some of the people I have to put up with, or the amount of time I spend actually working. I suspect it's the same for everyone else in the world. My question is- all the people that make my job more difficult than it needs to be- do they complain about people? I try not to create more work for anyone, and I'm never rude about it...does anyone ever stop to think if maybe they were a little nicer to everyone, the world would be a better place?

The sisters are coming out for Thanksgiving- it will be our first "non-traditional" Thanksgiving. No way am I attempting to cook any sort of turkey- we're having it prepared, and then I'm picking it up. MomY and DadY are staying at home with the snow (as far as I know) and so we'll have a lovely time. We're going wine tasting, and I'm sure Big Sis has a whole binder of things to do. I'm looking forward to seeing them- it's been nearly three weeks since I was in Minnesota for the wedding.

Football is on, and I've got some vested interest in the game. I'm going to attempt to write more than I have been- I think it's good for me.
