Go Figure.

When you live in southern california, people are all of a sudden just hugely interested in coming to visit you.

"oh, don't bother coming up here for thanksgiving, Mingni.... we'll just come see you down there!"

sounds pretty sweet and accomodating, right?  dont be fooled.
really, what you don't realize straightaway, is that it means that i had to host thanksgiving.  turkey and all.

quelle pressure, but i think i pulled it off..... pumpkin cheesecake disaster nothwithstanding.

Look at me, I'm growing.
