road trip home

chuck woke up at the ass crack of dawn to begin emptying the fish tank. by the time i woke up, everyone had packed up the car for one more trip to the storage place and left without me. it was about 8:00am. i probably should've went back to sleep, however, robyn's boss kept calling the damn phone because he couldn't find some sort of important document at work... for fuck's sake.
i did my best to fall back asleep, but everyone came back and began packing for the trip home.
we made a stop at panera before heading back at about 12:30pm. chuck led the whole way, without a hitch. we stopped to get gas and a bite to eat at sonic, but they didn't have a bathroom, so we went across the street to a quizno's instead... exciting.
at about 11:00pm, we were all the way up to indianapolis, but chuck needed a power nap before we continued. we were only about 3 hours away, but better safe than sorry. trouble is, we didn't get up until 2:30am! we slept for almost 4 hours, even though it felt like ten minutes. we got back around 5:00am, and i crashed hard.

what a trip.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
