Current mood:

busy

This will be my first time making a big meal for Thanksgiving. I hope it will come out okay. I ended up paying an arm and a leg, figuratively and practically literally, for the whole turkey. I think I have everything I need for a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

My family never celebrated it really. Otousan took the extra time to work. Okaasan and I would usually have something of a Thanksgiving dinner of her own interpretation and we would invite the maids to eat with us.

It is funny how good things sometimes come out of bad things. Like I have found a new hobby that I am growing to enjoy that was the catalyst of events last month. Okaasan, though, when I called for some tips for this meal, she immediately thought I was making it for a girl. She keeps bugging me for grandchildren. I told her to get a cat. Then she got upset with my "tone".

She also let me know that she and possibly otousan will be in town come New Years. ~~That somehow makes me very nervous.~~ I have little over a month to get prepared for this.

In other news, I had a very pleasant day. I had a nice lunch and was the right amount of busy. I also got my work done right at five. It is a very content feeling.

	When you think about it, there's technically nothing that you can't do in life. Conversely, there's nothing that you can't refuse to do either. The only things even hindering this are human laws, which are not something that you either obey or drop dead from breaking. Just like terrible things can happen to anyone. Anything is possible in this world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You probably just want to settle down. You're like almost 30. I suppose it's hard in this day and age... It's uncool to be married before 30, but it's also uncool to not be planning to marry shortly thereafter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agenttendo 2011-11-22 01:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm a few years away from 30. I'm not that old. But yes, I am planning to marry at around 30. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think that's stupid. Why would you plan to marry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
