Thanksgiving

Am I the only one that thinks this long weekend has been really long? I've had so much stuff happening, it seems like Thanksgiving was a long time ago. Hmm.... Well, anyway, onto the post

So, on Thanksgiving we had 22 people over. And I was related to everyone except 5 of them. And of those 5, one is basically family, and the other four are our church's pastor and his family. 17 isn't that many people to be related to, but it was all insane relations like, one guy, was my second cousin once removed, and this other guy was my grandpa's cousin, and his wife was there, and her mother (I don't know what she is to me. my aunt like three times -thrice?- removed?)

And I was pretty annoyed with the whole thing, because I like eavesdropping, but I'm now old enough to not be able to do whatever I want, but not old enough to go with the adults. In other words, I am a built-in babysitter. Normally, I wouldn't mind this much, but just refreeing for the 6 little boys who want to play wii, all at once, when we only have 2 controllers isn't fun. I actually ended up just reading Twilight and only straightening out their fights occasionally.

Oh well, there were a couple things that made up for it. For one, the food! If you know me, you know how I love food... So I enjoy the whole eat-as-much-as-you-want aspect of it. And, plus, there were a couple comments from the adults that made me smile. (and a very, very nice lack of bert and ernie related jokes/comments/general obnoxiousness from ). So, basically, Thanksgiving was ok, despite all my complaining. The rest of my weekend was better though.
