Ahhh!

The day after a holiday is always nice. This year I took in two 'orphans' from school - one from Chicago and the other from Juneau (Alaska). They both didn't go home for this short little weekend so therefore they came to my parents' house in Alameda and partook in Turkey Day festivities with my rather calm and laid back pamilya.

Thursday morning I went and sang with my two friends at St. Stephen's Church on Eucalyptus in the City. The mass is more of a contemporary mass, so the music was much more of a bluesy/gospel feel, which fits right up my alley. They recruited me to sing little gospel-music like riffs/responses, which was fun for me.

Then we drove across the bay to spend the day with the parents in Alameda. We had lunch around 1230 and then crashed on the couch whilst watching the Bears v. Dallas game. Then woke up around 4 and kicked it till the family started coming over.

My Alaska friend told me she enjoyed it because there was no stress and drama, as is usual during the holidays where she's from. And my friend from Chicago enjoyed all the food that was available. We drove back around midnight, listening to Earth, Wind and Fire, which made the tollbooth traffic a little more tolerable.

Now I'm at work, a part of the 'biggest shopping day of the year' fiesta that goes on around shopping malls throughout this country.

Can't wait for this weekend - Saturday night is my 10 year high school reunion and Sunday I'll be heading up to Santa Cruz to visit my hypnotherapist friend - Haha she'll unlock my unconscious child!

Have a good weekend
