Packed. Lunch: leftover pizza. Nap. Drove to Sunnyvale. Automated car wash at Valero Moffett. Thanksgiving feast at my sister's house with Lani, Rob, Akemi, Kiana, Matthew, Jeremy, Dex, Corinna, Pat, Allison, Anthony, Chika, Johnson, Samantha, Madelyn. Said hello to neighbor Bob coincidentally upon arrival and departure. Johnson and I did a Starbucks run and I used my free birthday drink. I brought Callebaut dark chocolate cornflake clusters. Tonight's highlight: in the white elephant gift exchange Alex unknowingly selected and took home the Playstation 1 that Johnson received in our last white elephant party. Fletcher received dominos and a MAINstage theatre console sound system; Lani received a set of trays with wine glass holders, Forrest Gump on DVD, and a heart-shaped glass plate with a bird on it; a set of Sparq whiskey stones; Julie received snowflake-shaped bowls; Chika received a bobblehead of basketball player David Lee; Kiana received a fragrance diffuser called Scentsy; Alison received a tall, reusable cup with straw and butterflies; Corinna received a red snowflake; Johnson received a digital clock called Jimi; Alex received a set of oils and vinegars; Rob received a pedometer; I did not participate. Began using the iPhone app called Sleep Cycle.
