ariel is 23

despite being off today, i woke up at 6:30am so that i could make a birthday card for ariel and meet her and her family for her 8:00am birthday breakfast... a what? a birthday breakfast! yes. it was strange. and it was in fact, my first birthday breakfast celebration. but it was a genius idea, not only because breakfast is the greatest meal of the day, but also because tonight is reserved for glow in the dark mini-golf.

anyways, 8:00am became 8:45am, because elsa broke her leg on thanksgiving (huh? this tidbit of information is for my own enjoyment... it's an inside joke). we had some great conversation about: guns, ids, children, work, sleeping in ihop, driving, breakfast, and thanksgiving gravy. i had an absolute blast.

on the way out, i gave ariel the card i made and we said our goodbyes and i smiled to myself, wondering how i always find myself hanging out with ariel in the presence of her dad and elsa.

now i'm thinking, "if i ask her out to dinner... should i make a reservation for four?"

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.
