The obligatory (and yet late) THANKSGIVING posting:

Well, how do I explain the many horrible things that happened this Thanksgiving? Well, I should start off by saying that on the whole, it wasn't too bad on it's own, it was just populated by bad people.

Let's start with the nucleus. My uncle. A man who, when I was younger, was a pretty cool guy. Took me to amusement parks, gave me peanut butter taste tests as well as ones for root beer and ice cream. He had these two cool dogs and had great electronics all over the place. As we got older, he started to drift from sanity and is now your average domineering personality that you just can't stand to be around. Always wants to be the center of everything (attention included upon request) and has to be in control of everything, whether he should be or not.

Add to that the re-appearance of his now former ex-girlfriend who was originally his ex-girlfriend because she was such a horrible person to begin with. Luckily she didn't become any worse a human being but getting past our past just wasn't in the cards.

Add to that the fact that their arrival in our home put everyone on full alert and full aggravation mode. Gee, I'm not sure if I can put into proper words the emotions felt that evening, other than to say that when my father told me I should go to bed at 9:30 (for the first time in almost 20 years) I didn't even flinch.

Anyhoo, past that the weekend went well. Came to work on Friday, spent the rest of the weekend just relaxing and staying in out of the cold. Actually, that's not 100% correct. Too my car in to be detailed Saturday morning, now she looks almost like new!!!!

That's all for now. Have to actually get some work done.
