Post Thanksgiving

So, it's now Sunday night and tomorrow will mark the return to normalcy. At least for awhile until I head back home for my sister's wedding.

I worked a lot for the holiday, but not at City Year. I pulled more hours than normal at my new second job, Gap. It's funny, because for most of the day, I actually like this job (please knock on wood). I finally got it through to the management that I would rather work on the men's floor even though they constantly stick me in the kids' level. It's easy working with the kids because I have so much experience with it, but that's not where my interests lie, if you get my meaning.

Thanksgiving itself ended up being pretty fun. I went with a guy on my soccer team to his family's get together and it ended being a lot more fun than I was anticipating. Not that I am trying to be mean or had low expectations, just that I was very very unsure about imposing myself onto an established family. The house was extremely nice. I won't go into details because it's not my place, but the family that lived there owned two pure bred Doberman pincers. Now, these are the first dogs like these I've seen in real life. My only experience with them has been their movie representations which are not very friendly. That being said, these dogs were amazing. The food was also fantastic. The man of the house (I say this loosely, as clearly the female was in charge) kept force feeding me wine when I got there, so by the time dinner was ready and I switched to rum & coke, I was already buzzed. I kept my cool though and just proceeded to eat tons of real food (I don't get much while on foodstamps) and to enjoy talking to other people. These people rocked, and I am so glad that this guy on my soccer team had me come down with him.

The rest of everything else has been pretty normal. Save for this dude that I met recently who I have been hanging out a lot with. I am still trying to figure the entire thing out, so be ready for an update on that.
