Leland and Chris were in the office at the same time today and said hello to each other. In that moment it occurred to me that I never properly introduced them. Shame on me. Fortunately, they're both aware of how I am sometimes.
At some point, I need to go shopping. Now this point isn't going to happen until I have some money, but it has to happen. Every year I wait to buy Christmas presents and every year I can't get everyone stuff. I'm very lucky to be surrounded by people who aren't big on stuff, but I like to get people things I think they'll like. I'd be much better at this gift-giving thing if I had more money. Kris put ""winning lottery ticket"" on the list of things we need to get when we go out for milk and toilet paper. So it's on my list of thing-a-do, now I just have to do it.
I don't have a long weekend until Thanksgiving. I'd very much like to see my parents and eat their food. I was tossing around the idea of taking Chris to meet the old folks. I don't know. It's weird. I'm not in the habit of introducing people to the old folks. I don't know what's appropriate. I know the uncles were always bringing the latest girlfriend over and I'd wonder, ""Why?"" And Mom didn't like the whole deal. I dunno if a four day weekend is an ideal time, but I don't know about driving eight hours for a regular one. I still have to think about it. And ask Chris if he wants to meet my crazy family. No one ever believes I'm the normal one until they meet the rest of the familial unit. They're nuts. And getting nuttier. Juana told me today that Mom and Dad took Eric to Six Flags in San Antonio....and Dad rode all the rides. I cannot picture it. I can sorta picture him getting in the truck and driving there. Sorta. But I truly cannot imagine the old man getting buckled into a roller coaster seat.
My brain is tired and feels deflated. More ramblings later.
