HARD TO BELIEVE THAT Thanksgiving break is over — then again, it’s really not hard to believe at all. I can remember lying in my bed at home Tuesday night, staring across the room and thinking, “This is going to be over before I know it.”
Here I am, back in Moorhead — not regrettably, though. My time at home was well-needed and brief, not to mention well-needed to be brief. I love the fam (even the dog, who is debated being my full-blooded sibling) but several days would suffice. Nothing personal, it’s just hard to leave a life behind at another location, especially when there is so much unfinished business being left. I will not sleep — well — until the end of the semester.
To everyone that made my visit home so absolutely incredible:
Mom, for all the extravagant meals and never ceasing going above and beyond.
Dad, for fixing the car up realllll good.
Mom and Dad, for putting up with the garage door opening at 2:30 every morning. I’m sorry my hours are so whack.
Brother man 0, for all that you do for me all the time. For making me laugh like none other!
To Loo Loo and all of her loveliness, a wonderfully talented friend, model, and Collectic partner in crime.
To Javen! My favorite semi-Oklahomian, full-blooded Homo sapien (perhaps part machine?) it’s always a treat to see you, thanks for braving the mall with me on Black Friday, perusing the thrift stores and conquering the coffee. You are fantastic.
To Grandma, for a stellar meal, ’80s boots and ’70s heels.
To the 62 crew, who take straight shots of creativity every morning, followed by awesome injections. Shit. Being at your place makes me want to be colorful, bright, and experimental (in a good way)! Thanks for renewing my inspiration.
To Jamie & Otis, for dinner at 10 NM (in the presence of Josh & Fergalicious!) I love me some pheasant strips! And for the great company of Chris Brown, Maureen, & Loo.
To all of my lady friends from near and faraway college lands, as divergent as we might be, I love you all the same, all the time, no matter whats.
And lastly, to the Minot Daily News for stalking me to the mall on Black Friday, furtively capturing a photo while I was shoe shopping, and publishing the most horrid photograph Minot has seen while labeling me as an “Eager Shopper” (for the record, I’m angry). You have secured my notions that I am being followed.
Again, thanks x thanks = THANKS!
Back to work this lady goes — enjoy yourselves!
