I leave in about 3 hours to go to NJ for Thanksgiving...spending it with T's family. I don't like calling him T. One of my oldest friends name is Victoria. When her younger sister started talking, she couldn't say Victoria, all she would say was T. S o calling my boyfriend T makes me think of Victoria. From here on out I will call him Boy

So we're driving up there, leaving here at 6pm. if we are lucky, we'll get there by last call at the local bar, but I think it'll be more like 3am. Then I get to wake up at maybe 9 and help the women of the family cook. Yay!

I am looking forward to it though. I get to meet his brother's now fiance...they got engaged about 2 weeks ago. Nobody in the family likes her, especially Boy. I hope someone throws something. No I don't, but I do expect to see some sideways glances coming from the whole family. There will 16 of us eating, 9 of us staying at his parents house.

I'm just glad they like coffee.

I want to start a book club.

But not a dumb one.

And I want a lot of people to be in it. I don't necessary need us to discuss it once a month, board meeting style. I just like the thought of like 10 of my friends reading the same book. Then one of us can call another and be like "Why did J2 pick this book? The main character lacks meaning" then a week later, the same people talking "And when Sammy went around the back of the house to see his brother with Mandy! Do you think the author was pulling that from his own life?"

And then begins the book chats.

Each of us picks a different book each month. If you have the time to read it, great. If you don't, that's ok too. It hopefully will be a fun thing, not a burden.

Ah Friday. The day when everyone is happy because it's the weekend and we don't have to look at each other for two whole days. When you can catch up on the house cleaning, see friends, go shopping and nurse your now day long hangover (getting older sucks).

This is a day where I do nothing at work. Working on a Friday is stupid. I've thought about what the world would be like if I didn't ever have to work on a Friday. How nice would that be, to get excited on Thursday. But then, Thursday would become the new Friday....I'd start to not want to work on Thursdays now. It would become an endless cycle.....that could go on for a long damn time, until eventually I would owe the universe days. And I can't make up a day to give to the universe...so then what? Would I implode?

Friday's at work are good for thinking about aforementioned thought. On that note, I'm going to take a real long time to make some coffee and maybe take a walk to the bathroom, just to waste time.
