My lovely friend, Tez, mentioned in a comment that I didn't have any pictures from my Texas trip of me looking happy. This was odd to me, since I was nothing but happy until the bitter end. So here. I was happy on my trip to Tennessee, too, and I caught some photographic evidence.

Currently, though, I am still digesting all the massive amounts of food my grandmother stuffed down my face when I wasn't busy gobbling up every cookie in sight. I probably look more bloated than happy. My dad, on the other hand, wants more pie, which boggles my mind.

Oh well. Plenty of time to recover before the Christmas treats start rolling in, right? My first student loan payment is about to be due, so pretty soon I won't have enough money to feed myself anyway. I'll finally be able to starve myself like a good little American girl! Hooray!
