Just finished my first day from Thanksgiving Break. That wasn't a total bust. I got to spend time with my uncles and aunts from out of state. Mom and I cooked for 15 people and the left overs finally disappeared Saturday afternoon. I spent every night playing euchre with at least an uncle or my dad. It was a very eventful week. I had no free time to myself, which is okay by me. I get home and I have to put my room back together from Mom and Dad getting my shelves up and my bookcase in my room. I spent the evening playing with Haley and watching my weekly House episode with Mom. Wednesday was a realignment with tanning and errands to be done afterwards. I also helped clean the house and then the family began rolling in. My grandma and I surprised my mom by getting her baby brother, Uncle Mark from Cali, to come home and she was almost in tears. We played euchre again and went to bed. Helped make breakfast on Thursday, worked on the feast and setting tables all morning long. The day just went by in a blur. Eventually I got kicked out of the kitchen cause I wasn't letting my back rest. Whenever you get a manipulation you have to give your muscles 24 hours of rest to recover and relax into proper position. I didn't and so I got kicked out of the kitchen. The family watched footage from my Purdue Competition and we got family pictures. Friday was spent in Kokomo and I got me a new phone, was expensive but I really like it. Went bowling. Uncle Mark killed my dad and sister. I was told it was like watching Grandpa Brown bowling again. Saturday was yard work, house cleaning, and putting Christmas decorations and tree up. Yesterday was church and me coming back to campus. I didn't really keep in contact with anyone while on break and I am sorry about that. I was just busy and needed at home. That tends to happen. I work with the family and push others away while getting things done. That is a problem on my part, something I will have corrected eventually. Oh, I thought I should say this once and for all. People, please quit telling me I need a boyfriend. I don't want one right now. I made that decision two summers ago and I intend to stick by it. It just really gets under my skin when people ask when I'm going to start seeing guys again. I think I should have a say in it but a lot of people are saying I'm wasting my time not dating. If that is the case, then I'm throwing my life down the drain on principle. I have things I have to get squared away or completed before I start dating again. If that is okay with everyone, I intend to keep it that way.
