been a while

yes...it has been a while since my last post. Lots of things going on. It' been very difficult to stay afloat, so to speak. I must say that I wish my break had been a little more relaxed and easy going. I was troubled with a few things that kind of dampered my ability to have a good time.

My Thanksgiving was a bit boring. My family is not big on "sharing" holidays. We just kinda pass through each others' houses now and then. This year, no one came over. My grandparents and I were the only ones at my house. They ate at dinner time later in the evening, and I just kind of picked all day. As much as I enjoy not having a ton of people around, I kind of long for it. I hear all of these stories from people about the holidays and family time. I kind of wish I could tell similar stories. So for everyone who complains about Aunt Martha and Uncle Bob, think twice about it next time! :)
