at this time tomorrow, i will be on a plane making its final descent into good ol' albany international (HA!) airport, preparing for a few days of holiday relaxation, spending time with the family and some friends and everything else that includes, and frankly, i'm giddy just thinking about it.

there are so many things about it that i am looking forward to--seeing snow (this might be aided by the fact that i know i'll soon be returning to somewhere without snow, but i digress), seeing the family, having some time away from the office and being able to be a wiseass for a few days. i'm working a few shifts at good ol' mickey dees while i'm home as a way of helping out--they're short managers for thanksgiving break and i figured a little extra money couldn't hurt. my family expressed some concerns when i was so quick to offer to help--i heard the normal protests that i should relax during my break--but honestly? i'm going to have time to see my friends, i'll have time to sit around and do nothing and i'll have time to walk around town (something i haven't done in ages but plan to while i'm there), and i hate sitting around doing nothing, which is what a great deal of my "relaxation" time would be. i have to be doing things, otherwise i swear i'd go mad! so why not work a little bit, enjoy working at a job where i actually stand for a few hours at a time and see everyone that i used to work with? it seems like it works out exceptionally well to me...

i might be able to see beth on the last day i'm home, i know i'm spending time with becca and cortni and i have tentative plans to meet up and spend a little time together, so that'll be neat (haven't seen her since...what...did i even see her this summer? maybe...). i'll be able to spend some quality time with my brother and my parents and otherwise enjoy being home. it's so close...just have to get some stuff done tonight and then wake up way too early tomorrow morning...but it'll be worth it. :)
