I'm working in the soup kitchen from 11:30-1:00pm, TRYING not to eat anything, because we all go to my mother-in-law's for Thanksgiving dinner sometime in the afternoon.

Yes. I work there every Thursday night- we serve dinner to the homeless from 5:30-6pm every week. We put out a HUGE spread on the holidays- it's great.

I've spent a Christmas in the ER also... not the place you want to be on Christmas.

You know what, people liek you that give your time really need to be celabrated. It's the human spirit at its best. I always try to be nice to people, because I hope that when I need the help, people will be there for me.

I started my volunteer work (Hospice and the soup kitchen) about a year and a half ago because I wanted to be able to get into graduate school. Now, I can't imagine my life without it. I have met so many great people and learned a lot. I can totally see myself doing this for many years. And you are a very nice person David- it shows in the way you post messages.

Thank you. I really appriciate that compliment. I look at it like this, I could hate the world and be a miserable SOB, or I could try and live my llife to the fullest. I choose the latter, because we're here for such a short time, live it.....

driving to my Mother's gravesite and sit/think how FUBAR this year has been (She is buried out in a small countryside cemetary, So noone will be bothering me).

It's actually a miracle that Deb will have this day off, Being that she is only one of two nurses working the overnight 7PM-7AM shift.

I no longer care for holidays...That ended on March 21,2005

I hear you on the alone part. WHenever I go to the cemetary to visit my grandma, I dont want anyone with me.

Thanks for reminding me, I have to tell mom I won't visit till Xmas.
Uh, I think I'm going to rewrite papers, and I think this guy I slept with last summer is coming to visit me. We may go camping, but we may not cause I only have four days off. I'll probably make stuffing, b/c that's my favorite part of the dinner.
I love staying home during Thanksgiving break and chilling out, catching up on stuff, cozying around my house....Oh, and Paula? Can you send me some of that pumpkin cheesecake? Thx.
