The Vegetarian Goes to Texas

I'm off to Houston today, to spend the rest of the week with the b/f's family. This is the first holiday in ages and ages (maybe ever?) that I haven't spent with my own family. This relationship thing is weird. Plus... I'm a vegetarian. Going to Texas. For Thanksgiving. The last time I went to one of his family things, it was in Iowa. There wasn't anything much that I could eat. Some potato salad and chips, maybe. Even the broccoli had bacon in it. Most members of the family hadn't met a vegetarian before, not to mention had one over for dinner. It was the conversation topic of the day.. over and over and over. Finally his Mother couldn't stand my near-starvation anymore and sent for the trail mix out of the car.
They are very nice people.

Thanksgiving was not the same without you, and I'm not just sayin'.

Welcome to the world of alternating families on holidays - Max & Jill said they just want to get on the same schedule as you, so that when they're in town you are too. FYI.

Love you so. Hope you ate.
