Thanksgiven

Much like Maigh, I spent 5 days (give or take) away from the front of a computer and strangely I didn’t miss it one bit… And after last years long haul to Charlotte, this year it was decided it would be more local at Robyn’s parent’s home by Lake Sinclair.

So I worked for about 3 hours on Wednesday, decided it wasn’t even worth the effort of getting in in the first place, so at lunch time I made my announcement of “screw you guys, I’m going home!” and by that time traffic was already backing up in all directions, luckily we had packed and stuff the night before, so all that was required was picking up the items, drugging Charlotte (she’s a bit skittish and doesn’t like people being in the same room as her let alone traveling) and loading up the car with bags and cats for the haul down to Milledgeviile. Our one saving grace is I-285 was a nightmare, but only up until the I-85 exits, but I-20 wasn’t so great neither, but that quickly disappeared the further we went, I guess no one likes to go in the general direction of Augusta… All in all it still took an hour or so longer than usual but we did make a few quick stops along the way.

Now, we did get down in time for Thanksgiving day, but our Thanksgiving meal wasn’t until Saturday as Jill and Ryan were having their Thanksgiving at Ryan’s family’s home. They arrived late on Thursday night, so Friday was just a day of relaxing… For the record, our “thanksgiving day” meal was a chipotle cheese macaroni and cheese, which was pretty good.

Basically the entire 5 days was one of relaxing, watching TV, watching DVD’s, eating and sleeping. Ain’t nothing wrong with that now is there?
