geebsBack in the ATL! Went to NYC for Thanksgiving last Tuesday. Wednesday went into Manhattan with the rents to see the Vessel and do some food and shopping at Hudson Yards. Interesting place!
Thanksgiving was great, packed house! I'm trying to think if this was the first time in a while we were able to get all the sisters and their kids at once. Usually someone has work. But yeah, the usual folks, my parents, the aunts,isabel79, 7500centfish, durlxnemesis and sparkyboy. Cousin G and his family. Tito C and his family were also there since A was home from Cornell, and this was closer and cheaper than Chicago. Heh, I think D was the only one not there! cliffv('What's up with that?!') So he like just stayed home by himself?!
But like I said, it was fun to have everyone there. Friday went to LI for some Black Friday shopping. Well, normal shopping, just couldn't go Saturday since we had W's dad's 80th birthday party. Its easier to get my stuff up there and leave it rather than buying some stuff down here and having to lug it up to NY.
Saturday was cool. The birthday was at a buffet, so filled myself with beef and sushi. And I got to use the lighter I always carry around to light some candles!
Sunday, the lector at mass was mad cute. I wonder is she noticed me checking her out since she waved my direction during the sign of peace?
The plane ride home was okay, albeit having to wait an hour a half between boarding the plane and actual lift off. Not an exaggeration- I was able to watch and finish Anna and the Apocalypse before we even left. Noticed Teen Spirit was also amongst the movie choices, so finally got to see that! Great movie!
Violet's finals performance of "Don't Kill My Vibe" is up there now in my list of all time favorite musical numbers in movies. Like the passion and emotion of her performance was clear for all to see. Heh, I kinda feel sorry for the rest of the contestants, because yeah, everyone was acting like she totally had it in the bag after that number.
Hope she was last and no one had to follow her, because yikes! That would suck. Anyways, just a sweet and powerful ending there.
