Eat much?

Thursday 11/24, On Thanksgiving morn I got up to go for a walk again and wanted Aubs to go with me but Kim had spent the night and they were watching Dawson’s Creek so I got ditched…until Dad saw me and said that he’d go on a walk with me. So we went to the park and walked around there then we walked up into this neighborhood and back down, it was a long walk! We talked about AZ and his job, so that was all pretty interesting then when we got back he made pancakes, yum. After breakfast I showered and got ready. I didn’t really leave the house, but sunbathed in the back for awhile while reading magazines and listening to music, played on the internet, and ate. Dinner was late, we didn’t eat until about 9 so by the time we were all done it was very late and everyone was tired. Dinner was good, we had the usual two turkeys: one deep fried, one baked. It was all very good and then we had apple and peach pies for dessert (no one eats pumpkin in our family, well my Mom might) then everyone dispersed and went to bed.

Wednesday 11/23, I woke up ready to go for a walk in the beautiful Southern CA sunshine, and what do you know…Aubrie was up talking to some friends so when they left she came with me on my walk. How fun, so we cruised around the park for a little while then went back up to the house to get ready and woke Kassie up. We all got ready and headed down to our little pastry shop for a late breakfast. After that we headed to Spin and got some stuff, I only got some discounted singles and a new pair of shades, awesome. The guys that were working were very nice and I recognized the one guy from before, he was cute, though probably pushing 40. It was time to meet the fam for lunch by Mom’s place so we drove down there and got directions from Dad and Alishia. We surprised Mom and Lish with the new hair and Mom didn’t look too thrilled but I think it’s grown on her. We had some good lunch and I ate more than I should have but oh well, I walked in the morning so it was ok. The three of us went to Lou’s after that and that’s where I went a little crazy…I think I bought about 10 cds, but they were all used so it didn’t really break the bank, that comes later in the trip. We headed home after that to see the shirts Mom picked out for Santa pictures and I think we just ended up sitting around and playing on the computers and watching home videos until it was time to go to Aubrie’s birthday dinner at Benihana’s. Op, nope, Mom sent Aubrie and I out to Target for puzzles and Trader Joe’s for an organic turkey breast for Kassie. We found some interesting puzzles and I sent Aubs away to buy them while I bought the OC for her b-day. Then at TJ’s we had trouble finding what we needed but figured it out and Aubs told me the guy in the next line kept looking over and then when he talked he sounded like he had a southern accent. Funny. Grandma and Papa came before dinner and Grandma loves both of our hair, then we headed down in two separate cars and we let Kassie and Kim listen to the Filthy/Gorgeous song. We were seated and the fun began. Our chef guy was pretty good and fairly new on the job but we gave him lots of encouragement. Then he started this beat on the grill surface with some sticks or something and Kassie started to rap and the chef behind ours turned around, looked right at her, and laughed. It was so funny. Our dinner was very good and we were all stuffed by the time we rolled out. It was like 10 by the time we got home and we all headed to bed after Aubrie opened her presents, she got a digital camera from Mom and Dad…damn!
