So.

Sorry about the lack of... well, anything on here lately. All in all, we're good. BUSY. But good. Absolutely can't wait for this semester to be over. This is my last full semester (cue Hallelujah chorus), and next semester, I'm taking 6 credit hours. Awesome? Yes. Most definitely.

So Thanksgiving was nice. I hope you all had good ones too. Chad's family drove up from Arizona to spend the holiday with us, which was nice. I really don't like traveling for holidays (like, really really) so it was nice to be able to stay put and have family visit us for a change :) We divided up the meal between apartments; Katelynn lives nearby and all of her roommates but a cousin (Becca) were gone, so that's where we ate because an almost-empty apartment meant for six girls is bigger than one meant for a married couple. So that was cool. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, we all went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the Museum of Art (which was really neat), and then on Saturday we went to see "Inception" at the dollar theater. That was Chad's and my third time seeing it, and our dear friend Lindsay's fourth :) Cool, eh? I can't wait to buy that one.

So semi-funny story. Only semi because it's totally at my expense and I'm still a little raw. I can't see for crap in the dark (pardon the salty language). It's pretty bad. Not quite blind, but definitely bad. I've never even really been able to see that stars, except when I'm out in the middle of nowhere and it's impossible not to see the stars, because they're the only light around (which is a really cool experience, I might add; you can even see the Milky Way! I learned that a couple of years ago in Durango, CO on an archaeology field trip, but I digress).

So anyway, because of my night blindness, I usually try not to get up during movies for bathroom breaks, etc. because trying to find my seat when I come back is a nightmare. But this time, I just couldn't hold it. I was fidgety like you wouldn't believe. So I bit the bullet and went. However, upon return, I could see just about nothing but the screen and the little lights along the walkways. So I wandered in, feebly searched for my row for a few seconds, but finally gave up and sat down in between a couple of strangers, one of which was a portly man who, recognizing the signs of one lost in a theater, spent the next moment or two laughing at me. Cool.

I was supremely embarrassed. Mostly because I could hear Chad's family laughing at me but I still couldn't see them. So naturally, I was angry, too. Sometimes, they just go hand in hand. Then Chad comes up to the end of my new row and stage whispers, "Abby!" and motions like crazy at me. Well, I was angry, remember? So I said, "I know!" and waved him off to go sit back down, because I wasn't moving unless my seat was on fire. No thank you to more humiliation; I'd had enough already. So I watched the movie in between the giggly man on my right and weirded-out girl on my left. Oh well.

All in all, it was a good Thanksgiving :) Have a great last day of November!
