The title of my blog is a song composed by Thomas Newman(the greatest movie composer our world has ever known). All a matter of opinion of course. I am playing Thomas Newman today because it is cold and rainy outside and I am drinking Creme Brule Coffee. If you are smart enough to start listening to Thomas Newman you will understand why I put that combination together. hint hint.
Well let's start with last weekend.
Last weekend Mom, Bubby and I went to Jackson, Mississippi. Dad couldnt go cuz he actually cares about his job. psht. A family friend was getting married, and as a plus our aunt and uncle Patti and Charles live there. (Moms brother and wife)
Jackson Mississippi is my favorite place to be in the whole world. The weather is always nice, and it usually rains when we are there, which is my favorite weather. We have spent every thanksgiving for the past bagillion years at their home and it seems like it gets better every year. They have a huge beautiful warm home to make us comfortable with the cold rainy weather. Every morning begins the same. I am usually the last to wake up but this year it will not be the case since I am all disciplined and crap. I wake up to the smell of Patti's sausage pinwheels and coffee and various other breakfasts she makes. There is always an option of pumpkin muffins, biscuits, bacon, and all that good mess. After breakfast I MIGHT take a shower but chances are slim. We all join together in the living room for a full day of football, endless cups of coffee and chex mix, books, and Lord of the Rings movies. this routine repeats for each day. On thanksgiving day we eat our usual meal and depending on the year we watch the A&M and UT game. Uncle Charles and Bubby will spend their time screaming at the screen, mom and patti will be reading a book. cousin lindsey and I will spectacte the hilarity and Dad will pretend to know what hes doing by repeating everything Jonathan and Charles say, in LENGTH, mind you.
JONATHAN: "WHAT A CRAP CALL!"
CHARLES: "HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE?!"
BOB: "YEAH HOW STUPID! THAT DUMB REFEREE NEEDS TO GO HOME...WHAT A PIECE OF...YEAH...zzzzzzzzz"
and by this time some team will have already made another down and the situation that charles and bubby were so offended by will have passed 15 minutes ago. This to me makes the whole game.
On thanksgiving night the daddys and the children go to a movie. the kids are now all in our 20's but it probably wont stop us from seeing the new Jim Carrey christmas carol, which by my guess will be a total waste of time.
