Don't trip..... See u next fall

Well I have to say that I am finding myself in a better mood today than I was at the time of my last entry. I am in a fair mood because of several things. First and foremost because my family came to visit me yesterday after work and we went out for dinner. It was nice to have a chance to actually talk to people and not worry about them accepting me or feeling like I was annoying them or anything. So I had a great time with them. Secondly, I just spend 4 hours babysitting for some adorable children and got $60. So that is always good because I am almost as poor as that guy down the street that lives in a box.

Thirdly, I am starting to feel the festive spirit for Thanksgiving. The brisk air, the rustling leaves, the cuddling up in layers to stay warm. I am already planning out the ways to make Thanksgiving and Christmas as festive as possible. For thanksgiving my cousins aren't going to be able to come over like they originally planned (because they don't love us! :() so we are going to have to invite "orphans"(people with no family around) over for Thanksgiving to make it feel more like a holiday. If we don't have extra people, it's just like a regular family supper with some turkey and stuffing. I am going to make cute little placecards with leaves and turkeys and decorate the table all fall-ish. Am I dumb to care so much about presentation? I don't think so, because it's important to me, so other people must appreciate it as well. Maybe it's not important to them feeling festive and content, but I think it helps create a mood. ( If you think I am a huge loser, raise your hand.)

My last reason for feeling in a fairly happy mood is because I am going to be able to go home and relax soon... after this very long day of classes and babysitting and now a meeting for Renaissance literature... at 11pm I will be so ready for bed that I wont even feel like watching my nightly dose of TV. And that's fine with me cause my bed is my wonderland. Ahhhhh...
