Today is my birthday...and honestly i spent most of it feeling a little melancholy. This is the first birthday I haven't spent with my family. This is also the first Thanksgiving I haven't spent with my family. My mom and dad are moving into a new house that I will never live in. My mom is also having surgery...and I can't be there. Suddenly today i got very homesick. I feel like I'm missing everything...the good and the bad. It only convinces me that I really should move closer to home in the nearish future (by nearish i mean 2 years). Sarah and I are going out to dinner tonight at a new restaurant called Antigua. Should be fun. :-)

Also...i took Columbo to the vet for his tail. It seems to be set already...so all I can do is wait at this point. As long as the tissue doesn't die....it should heal on its own. He is on some anti-anflammitories for a week.

So i went to dinner and the food was great. I also got Grey's Anatomy Season 1 (YEAH!!!!) and hobo gloves! I'm so excited. For those of you who don't know what hobo gloves are...they are gloves that have the tops of the fingers cut off, but there's a mitten flap that folds over to cover your fingers. Difficult to explain...but they are totally cool! I'm so excited! :-D

Tomorrow I'm going to Terre Haute to spend the holidays with the Artigues. It should be great. We're having pinto beans and cornbread with fried potatoes and ice cream cake for my birthday. Hooray!!

PS. Fashion tip for the day....Black and Brown NEVER look good together contrary to what the current fashion trend is, and you shouldn't wear horizontal stripes if you are the size of a hippotamus.
