Thanksgiving Weekend.

Productivity: None.
Fun: Too much! :D


My "To Do" List for the weekend was quite long (which explains this extremely LONG ass post)...
CHDV 494 Final (Monday)
English Peer Review Final Paper
CHDV 340 Presentation
Work


It all started pretty hectic on Wednesday.

Work, school, and then back to work. By the time I got out of class, everyone at the office was gone. Just me and Helen. No boss. No work. So relaxing. We stayed at the office till about 4:30. I went to my grandma's to pick up Shelby and played with Paige and Evan. Had dinner with Aunty and Stuart.

8 o' clock. Phone rings. Damon says dinner at Sara's apt to discuss trip details. Yay! I rush on home. Jason picks me up and we head to Albertson's to buy more food. Market was frickin' PACKED. You could imagine, day before Thanksgiving. O_O

Arrive at Sara's apt in record time. Damon and Sara had dinner all ready. The chicken was really good, Sar! And seriously, I WAS full. I had TWO dinners. We dicussed trip stuff. (I'm getting kinda excited, guys!) Afterwards, Jason and I did the dishes and managed to get Sara's Hello Kitty collectors item plate stuck in BB's huge ass bowl. It took 2 hours, a couple phone calls home, and Google to get that plate out without breaking it. O_O Yes, yes. So talented of us.

Thursday - Thanksgiving!!!
Dim sum early in the Morning with mom's side of the family. I (*edit* Debby and I)put up the Christmas tree, while my dad and Shelby put up the Christmas lights. (And it is NOT TOO EARLY!) By dinner time, I was all ready for some deep-fried Turkey. We headed over to Pasadena. That dinner was GOOOOOD. Even better, dessert. Costco's Chocolate Lovers Cake. O_O SO GOOOOD

Friday -
After-Thanksgiving shopping! Kinda. I was too tired from all the festivities so I missed all the good sales. But I did manage to get a digital camara. Finally! Canon PowerShot SD200, baby! Extra large LCD screen for the Papa cause he can't seeeeee.

At night, dinner at Macaroni Grill with Sara, Damon, & Jason. Sara mentioned she wanted to learn how to play MJ, so we decided, why not? My parents were having a mini party at my house, but thank goodness, the majority of the people already left by the time we got to my house. Poor guys, I hope my parents and their friends didn't scare you guys when they surrounded us. O_O

My mom was a bit aggressive with Sara and Jason, who were just learning how to play. She gets a little bit TOO involved. Heeeeeee. They both did pretty darn well for beginners. We played till 2:30. They're all hooked. Suckerrs. :D


Saturday:
Sara and I originally planned for breakfast together, but since we stayed up to play MJ, we didn't wake up till 11:30. We beat the guys in waking up late. We decided to go to lunch instead. We haven't done that in a while. We headed over to Damon's house to give LYnette her b-day gift. :D We dropped Sara off at home so she can go to USC game, so the 3 of us headed over to the dealerships to find a new car for Jason. The AUdi guy was frickin' crazy. O_O He turned really fast on those freeway on-ramps and the car skidded in the back. FUN! Dangerous, but fun.
After all the excitement, both from the Audi guy and the talkin' Jason gave to the BMW sales manager about our salesguys, we picked Sara up and headed over to NYC Rest. for some grub. Ha. We looked stupid, cause we couldn't read the menu in Chinese. We managed. :D Us, gamba-holics, decided to head over to Jason's house and played MJ. AGAIN. Bacahead won on all CHickenhands. Sar and I pissed, cause we had frickin' pretty hands.


Sunday:
Church. Lunch with Grandma afterwards. Dropped her off at her apartment and to pick up my parents car. Jason calls about hot pot stuff. I see Shelby getting out of the car. Don't know why, but assume he's helping my mom carry stuff, so I sit and wait. I check my phone and realize I've been on the phone with Jason for the past 25 minutes. How long does it take to carry stuff to the car? I hang up and call Shelby.

Me: Where the hell are you?
Shelby: With mom. Where are YOU?
Me: Still at the apartment waiting for YOU!
Shelby: Oh, I left.

No duh, Sherlock! So I was sitting out there like an idiot. Psh. Go home, attempt to finish off "To Do List". Sar picked me up at 5:15 to go to the market to get some GC. (SOrry about the cash thing. We go again this weekend. :D) Head over to Jason's house for hot pot. Good crap to eat, man. Afterwards, more MJ! Stupid STupid Damon had to take all the cards I needed!! This means, I didn't win ANYTHING. NOT ONE.

Oh wells. There's next time, man. Just you wait. Heehee. I AM the W1nnAr!!

*edit* This weekend has been the BEST, ever! Quoting Sara...

"Having the BEST time with the BEST friends I could possibly ask for
Being extremely thankful for EVERYTHING this Thanksgiving :) "



The End. (Until next Weekend. Muhahaa)
