.what.i.accomplished.thanksgiving.weekend.

well this past weekend was very relaxing. totally chilled. i was thinking that i might want to go out sometime during the weekend, but i ended up not wanting to leave the condo. so we bought a lot of beer and skyy blue (again), just in case anyone wanted to come over. we had some guests saturday night. annie, marcel, lisa, & paolo came over late at night. and when i say late, i mean late. annie, marcel, g, & christina came over around 1130PM until about 2AM. then lisa & paolo came around 230AM until 4AM. good times good times.

anyways, thanksgiving was fun. well...it was ok. archie's family party was loud and different. the dynamics are kinda changing. rho won't be there anymore (although i'm still crossing my fingers)...and i love seeing april and her family there. and it's always nice seeing their family...but the questions about marriage have been coming up, and when it happens ALL the time, it gets a little tiring. but whatever. what can you do bout that, right?

my family party was VERY quiet. i don't know what's going on with my fam. we're just not close at all anymore. i mean, the palos heights & downers grove parts of the fam are close, but whatever happened to the chicago fam? it's like we're not related anymore. everyone is just so selfish to me, now that we're older...

my bro & janet came over on sunday to see the condo for the first time. that was exciting. i love showing off the place. and leese, benj & fam came over to see the condo later that night. angel came too...she's so cute! i will have to put pictures of her up. she's adorable. oh, that reminds me, i have to put up pictures of my other goddaughter (angel is my first goddaughter), sabrina. it's so cool to have one of archie's cousin's ask me to be her daughter's godmother. i totally respect and admire april as a parent too. she talks to her kids and pays attention to them and makes them feel loved. and her and edsel aren't panicky parents. that takes a lot. i wish they'd have more kids, but they said sabrina's the last one. oh well...

so i'm finally PREMIER on united! woohoo! and how did they treat me on my first leg of being premier, you ask? by rewarding me with a seat in the last row, middle seat. oh, and like the extra chocolate on top of the chocolate covered strawberries, the seat did not recline. there was a mock recline button on the armrest instead. how's that for premier?? i kept thinking in my head in mock shock: 'don't they know who i am?! i'm premier!' alas, it was all in vain. ok, enough. how dramatic can i get?? at first i was annoyed, but whatever, at least i got on the plane, right? yay. oh, and like the whipped cream on top of the chocolate covered strawberries, hertz rewarded my faithfulness with a lincoln towncar. omg - how embarrassing... why the hell did they give me that boat?! granted, it's nice and classy, but lets face it..it's an 80 year old grandpas car! geez...why does nj hate me so??

ok, enough dramatics...in my hotel room and hopefully i'll be able to go to sleep early. oh! i forgot to mention, i got my boots fixed tonight! they had some quicky instant shoe repair kiosk in the garden state plaza mall...just my luck! so they're good as new, except they're shorter than when they started. too bad...i don't like them as much anymore..i mean, they still got some heel on them, but it's not the same. and i think they're a little unever too...what do you expect for work done in 10 minutes for $8.99?

one more accomplishment this weekend - i successfully ALMOST caught up with all my soaps. 6 weeks worth...i just sat and watched and fast forwarded and watched. i was able to do that only because jeffie and arch bought a new video game and played that the entire weekend. they switched off between that and porn (skinimax). what a lucky girl am i. blech.
