back from a 5-day thanksgiving trip to san francisco, where my friend L and i stayed with M and A and their 2 cats in their very centrally located apartment. seriously fun. i don't even know what to write about it...there was much eating of pie (we made 5 pies--2 pecan, 2 pumpkin, and 1 cherry) and playing of euchre...there was mochi ice cream...there were movies (2 watched at home and 1 at a theater)...and we went on a nice little wine tasting jaunt up in northern sonoma county. that was super cool. i actually own four bottles of wine at the moment, all of which i have tasted and already know i like. there was also much eating--excellent, excellent food, including the thanksgiving dinner we all cooked together. we all agreed, it was probably the best thanksgiving dinner any of us have ever had--we figured it was so good because we only made things we knew we liked (and all of us have similar taste in food). i also did a bit of running mileage on some not too big SF hills, which was pretty fun.
oddly, i don't have much else to say. i had an excellent time. now i'm tired and i've got a pile of work to do. i also have a meeting first thing in the morning, which means i won't have time to finish up my work before class...so i've gotta scoot!
hope everyone else out there had an enjoyable holiday. even
marina_82, who's in OZ where they don't celebrate this particular holiday. ;-)

Date: 2005-11-29 08:29 am (UTC)my invented holiday would involve candles in darkness (the catholic in me coming out, i guess--heh), foods you don't eat at any other time of year (not necessarily tons of food like thanksgiving, just unusual foods that mark the occasion, like moon cakes for the chinese festival of the moon), and some kind of costumed dancing. probably storytelling and lots of visiting of friends, hugging, and that sort of thing, too.
lol--why did i leave the church again?
