Skyler's Thanksgiving adventures to come!
Oh the holidays… it’s a love hate type of thing.
I am headed home early tomorrow morning for the long trek back to my place of birth… Battle Creek Michigan… ugh… mulletville. (not my family but the rest of the BC population). It’s only about a 60 mile drive from where I live now, so it’s not too long. Although with traffic and such it will probably suck, but that’s what CDs and a good sound system are for. The highways around here were starting to back up at 5pm today already. I was like damn that sucks.
But it’s normally like a million people at my parents’ house. They have the biggest house so it is always there. I’m excited to see everyone, but that excitement soon wears off… it soon becomes a mix of emotions… terror, contempt, disgust, fear, pain, etc. And then I go get a cocktail. My cousin and I are generally completely trashed within the first hour and don’t really care after that. Seriously it’s the only way to make it through one of my family gatherings. Normally my mom has locked herself in a bathroom crying. There are people fighting in every room. Someone has got their car stuck in the snow or a ditch somewhere. The TV is playing a football game and a million decibels. Kids are screaming and running around. And then there Dana and I sitting in the corner enjoying our own little party… LOL. Its fabulous.
Anyway… Hopefully that is an entertaining mental image of my family gathering.
