Thanksgiving is slowly approaching.

Right now, I'm sort of procrastinating from packing for my grandparents house this weekend. I wonder when my mom is going to notice that I'm not up and about at the early hour of 10am.

I haven't been to my grandparents house since Easter or something like that. It's a cute little house, about the size of a apartment. And really crowded when there's six people staying there. They have this tiny table that takes up the whole width of the kitchen when there's all of us sitting around it. One time we had finally situated everybody around it comfortably, and all of the sudden the phone rang. In the next room. It was great.

Yesterday, I ended up taking the bus to Sam's house. The bus driver was driving about a speed that I could have probably kept up if I had walked by it, while venting to the old lady sitting at the front about the new rule that you can't smoke within 8 meters of an entrances at the mall. When I got to Sam's house, Katie was already there, and we took a cab with Sam's mom to the hospital, since she had to go there for work. We talked the whole ride about what guys we could dress up for the Miss Oktoberfest thing, and what we could make them wear(it ranged from sparkly purple dresses, a purple boa, and heels to fishnets and a jean skirt. The cab driver said he pitied these guys). After a bit of walking up and down the halls, we finally found Ashley's room, and ended up hanging out with her for two hours. Considering that there aren't really any places to 'hang out' at a hospital, we stood in this random narrow hallway for a while, then moved to a corner in the kid's playroom with a little plastic chairs, then to a closet like thing with a bunch of chairs sitting around a table. It took us three elevators to get out of the hospital, as we were quite lost. The bus eventually came, and we got uptown. I was sort of hungry by then, and we made a stop at MacDonald's. I got a large fries, and shared it with Sam. We walked on the boardwalk, then sat on a bench facing the skate park for a while. We slowly made our way back, and I got my much needed ice capp. We stoped on this floating dock to read the names and random song lyrics people wrote on it. At the bus stop, we were sort of hyper from the ice capps, and we were dancing and overall scaring the people there. We got off at the mall, because Sam desperately needs new shoes. Katie and I are always making cracks about her shoes, like how it's really time to get new shoes when your old ones can walk away by themselves. They smell like crap, vomit, and really smelly feet all put together, and we're convinced that if somebody touches them, their hand will disintegrate. We went to a bunch of places, but she just couldn't find any she liked that were her size. We stopped to talk to one of our friends who works at the juice place, and she gave us some bananas. I took one, and Sam took so many that she had to get a bag. The greeter in Wal-Mart thought it was funny that she was carring a big bag of bananas.
We chilled on the couchs in Sears for a while, until the lady working there came over and got mad at us for sitting there.

The Office made me happy last night.
