Getting Ready For The Holiday

I've forgotten to tell you this, so I'm telling you now: I am not spending Thanksgiving with my relatives.

Surprise!

Aunt Wanda has gone to her mother's, leaving the rest of them to go to Tanya's.

If you recall, I would rather have a lot of offensive, rude things done to my physical form than go anywhere near her house. You couldn't pay/bribe me enough to make me go.

But great minds think alike-Mom thinks like me. She hates Dad's relatives, too. Therefore, we're staying in town and we're going to the church Thanksgiving thing. Mom doesn't cook. Dad doesn't have to drive halfway to Florida for the second day in a row, and I don't have to suffer with my relatives for another MONTH.

How relieved was I? I was thanking deities I didn't believe existed for the blessing they'd bestowed. No Thanksgiving with them this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Today we're one month away from Christmas. I have bought nothing for anyone as of yet, but plans are forming in my wicked, terrible mind...plans that are rather cheap and interesting.

I spent most of tonight playing "Pass the Files" between my computers. When you have two computers like I do, it often becomes difficult to keep the files even. I might write a story on the desktop, but that story might not make it to the laptop for weeks.

I try to keep things even, but it's hard. Seeing as I'm going away from my desktop for a few days, I'm going to need everything I've done thus far from both computers. I updated the laptop with the latest stuff, plus I had to spend nearly an hour getting all of my music from one computer to the other.

I refuse to be without it for an entire 5 days, and seeing as my moods are often unpredictable and my moods correspond with my music choices, I have to be prepared. If I want to hear Sting this weekend, I'm good. If I want to hear Spill Canvas on Saturday morning while washing dishes, I'm in the money. If I want to hear Linkin Park, well, that's a problem. I don't have any Linkin Park. If the whim ever struck (ha) then I'd borrow my sister's CD's.

My laptop and my USB storage device are still working on one last thing for me tonight, and then I'll go to bed. I get to sleep in tomorrow; my first prof of the day cancelled class tomorrow morning.

So, night everyone. I'll try and write from home.

Ta,
Bec
