End of November? Already?

So, it's like the end of November, almost. My birthday is like in less than two weeks and Christmas is only a month away. Scary. The scarier part is that the school year is not even close to being halfway done.
So, Thanksgiving. Pretty empty. My sister wasn't there, a couple cousins and kitchen relatives were missing, and one of my first cousins once removed and her baby daddy left before we ate to go birth her son. She left for the hospital around five in the evening and he wasn't born until 7:30 this morning. I don't want to birth children.
Karel spent Thanksgiving with Jason and his family. Apparently, not speaking Portuguese leads to a big communication gap for Karel. Also, I think it's funny that Karel, the girl who just wanted to whore around last year, is now in a super long distance (Troy to Houston) relationship with a 22/23 year old RPI graduate. And she went to spend Thanksgiving with his family in New Jersey. This means that I haven't seen my sister since the third week of August, and it hasn't really bothered me all that much. However, I haven't really had much free time to like wax my eyebrows, watch movies, shave my legs, or floss my teeth since the beginning of September, so
I'm not quite sure how accurate of a post-first-year-of-teaching sister relationship management predictor this fall has been.
I went shopping today with my mommy at Potomac Mills. At first, it was depressing. Everything at Nordstrom's Rack was hideous. I ended up purchasing a pair of Puma clogs to wear with khakis. Then, after striking out at about four more stores, I got a cute red/black/camel plaid skirt and interesting striped top at Casual Corner (they actually had something I wanted! ). Then I went to Old Navy. I love Old Navy. My mom was a little annoyed because I tried on about twenty different things. I ended up getting a corduroy skirt, jean skirt, two pairs of khakis, black pants, camel turtleneck sweater (to go with red/black/camel plaid skirt), fuscha/plum jewel tone sweater, and I think that's about it. But now I feel all guilty because I ended up with lots of clothes (which are birthday presents from my parents) and I didn't get anything for anyone else. Bad Anna! I think I'm going to Khols with my mom after Jeopardy to buy things for other people. However, it's hard to buy for other people (especially since the majority of my Christmas list is my family and Ben) when they haven't told me what they want. Karel and I are thinking about going in together to get nice presents for our parents (I think Karel really wants to do this so she doesn't have to shop or think about shopping). I'm thinking we get them a nice desk chair for the computer and get mom a nice sewing chair. Or getting mom a paraffin hand and foot bath thingy. We need to get together on that.
Karel, do you even read my blog you lazy bitch? What do you want for Christmas? I'm thinking of some DVDs of the Disney variety. But now that you have a boyfriend, I don't know what he's getting you. He might want to encourage the child in you because he's a dirty pedophile. Just like Fuzzy.
