Family

I've really been looking forward to Thanksgiving. It would be the first time since just after Christopher came up here that we've all been together. I was looking forward to it so much, I was worried that something would get screwed up. I'm happy to report that nothing went wrong! Brandon and I got to the hotel in about 3 1/2 hours. We got the room that has the sofa sleeper so that all of us could be together. We had called Christopher when we got on the Greenway, so it wasn't long before he was knocking on our door. I had brought plenty of food, so we were soon munching away. We were laughing and joking and having fun being together again. As soon as Christopher found out that I had missed the last 3 episodes of "Chuck", he was going to Hulu so that we could all see it. After getting caught up, we went to his place to play some video games. We had brought our XBox 360, but the TV in the hotel didn't have anywhere to plug it in. Since the hotel is right next to where Christopher lives, we walked. I got to make my avatar for my gamer profile. It doesn't look exactly like me, but it's in the general ballpark. I watched Brandon and Christopher play "Little Big Planet" for awhile. It's a neat game. It could grow on me, given time. They then decided that it was time for them to play "Left 4 Dead". That is a really hard game! I've always sucked at zombie games with fast moving zombies, so I wasn't quite ready to try it. The biggest drawback that I saw was that there weren't many save places. That meant that you have to play for a really long time before you can stop or you lose your progress. I decided about midnight that I needed sleep. Brandon had a key, so I headed back to the hotel to get some sleep. I don't know when, or if, they'll show up here, but I'm going to bed very happy! I love having my family all together. The world seems right again. We aren't leaving until late Saturday afternoon, so we'll have another whole day to be together. Sleep well.

It's been a while since I blogged. I haven't done a whole lot of stuff, so I haven't really had anything to write about. Work is the same as usual. Friday was kind of fun. Since it was Halloween, we were allowed to wear costumes. Wearing a costume is like pretending to be someone else for a short time. I went as a Goddess. I didn't realize it until I saw the pictures that were taken of me, but, there were times when I was showing a LOT of cleavage! The pictures were put up on the library system's shared drive, so anyone in the county could see them. Crap! Oh well. I chose a costume that was in good taste, not frightening, and not slutty. How was I supposed to know that at times I looked busty? It's such a rare occurrence, I wouldn't have thought to worry about it. Well, on to other things. Rob is at a snake show, so Brandon and I have the house to ourselves until Monday. He's been playing Fallout 3 most of the day, while I watched Hulu. A couple of times during the day, we got together and played Lego Batman. We 100% completed a game, but there were some achievements that I couldn't get as player 2, so we started a new game with me as player 1. I finished watching the first season of Bones, then looked for the second. Hulu didn't have it! Damn! Now what? The library has the series, so I figured that I would check out season 2 there. What could I watch now, though? I know. I'll watch Buffy! Sorry Christopher. The actor that's in Bones is in Buffy, then in the spin-off Angel. I decided to watch Buffy, then watch Angel at another time. Well, it's time for another episode. I just want to say before going that I'm really glad that you guys went to Orlando. It was really nice of you all. I know that Christopher loves Full Sail and that he loves living in the Orlando area, but he misses have good friends to hang out with. You guys just made a good place even better. Sleep well!
