Thanksgiving week
Thanksgiving doesn’t get me too excited, but a few days out of class does. Steve called, really enjoyed hearing from him. With Jeff Wh and Maggie he came up to Golden Monday night where we sat around. It was good to talk. Borrowing a movie from Luke we watched the, at first confusing, and later great, movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Made it to bed late, but what did I have to be up for? Oh yah- gym.
Tuesday was another great night, the initial plan consisted only of MIke Oer spending the night. I was hanging out in Weaver Towers with Lance and made it to my house late to meet Mike, Chris and some girl whose name I have since forgotten. As we hung out with Greg and Elana on our wonderful new couches the night became even more wonderful as Steve D and Lance joined us. The Safari was piloted by yours truly with the scenic and never predictable bowling alley. Waiting. Talking. Waiting. Three hours of bowling, Steve Lance and I had a lane.
Back at the house Steve departed ‘aye-sap’ to make it back to Littleton to great some other Thanksgiving Breakers. In my house Lance computed on my iBook, elaborating on his big-wheel dream, Mike with the goal of getting his iBook back to happy. I was distracted by the consistent dropping of internet. At this point Greg had stopped by Luke and I’s room hollering, offering to pick us up something from Taco bell, inviting us to join him to 24 hour fitness. I do believe he ended up at the gym. Lance was doing something early in the morning, so left my house around 2:30 I think. Mike and I then soon after crashed.
The nights are what I needed. I was placed in a good mood after this. I enjoyed the visitors. I enjoyed the calls, people caring. It was awesome.
Day before thanksgiving, CSU had the whole week off, Columbine had the day off. I didn’t. Ok, maybe I did, I only went to Calculus. I was just enjoying the afternoon, reading, doing laundry and the phone rang with the smile inducing invitation of shoe shopping with the company of Lance. Driving, and shoe shopping. Lance and I drove to some mall way out nowhere. He was just looking for something for nothing. I didn’t mind. The trouble was I didn’t know the shopping was padded with plenty of miles of driving. Tim had made it to town and we were going to have a family dinner. I can’t make it back in time! Lance found some killer shoes. I could ramble about them. I won’t. He has a weblog maybe he will. We’ll on the return, a few misguided in the black rocket Lance drives we found, and payed the required toll to go the opposite way of Golden. Whoops. I was laughing, it was a wonderful afternoon. A call to Mom-star not only confirmed our faulty direction, but also produced an invitation for Lance to join us. We made it on time.
The table was full, fine company, I enjoyed it. Tim’s fee-yawn-say Cora was there, Tim’s long time buddy Brian was there. (and Lance, Mom, Dad, and I.) After dinner we all watched a bad movie, but it was a nice break. Lance and I went over to Steve’s house where about six more familiar, now college, faces were. Enjoying myself, but remembering how quick some people can get on my nerves I was glad to see Steve, Lance and I depart separate than the others sit down with my family (and Tim’s pose.) Made it back to Golden sometime.
Thanksgiving was the usual. Friday night was spent in a place in Winter Park with my parents and Tim and Cora playing dominos and speed scrabble. This morning Sara and his husband TJ drove up and joined us in Christmas tree cutting. To everyone’s (exciting) surprise we found some great trees and such in good time.
I guess I really wanted to note how much I enjoy the company of my good friends. It really makes my day, night or week or something like that. Thank you guys. I thought there would be a cooler, more entertaining or something neater to say. Maybe I’ll figure out that later.
Happy holidays everyone, enjoy your company, and thanks for caring.
