I know… it’s been forever since I have put anything up on here. I’m sorry. I’ve been crazy, crazy, insane-o busy with school and other projects that I am working on. (More on that in the post right above this one. Look UP!)
It is Thanksgiving Week! Yay! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for a number of reasons. The most important is that it gives all of us the opportunity to gather with friends and family, hang out, eat, enjoy each other’s company, and try to remember all the wonderful things we do have to be thankful for in our lives … without feeling the pressure of *having* to buy anything for anybody (unless it’s a small hostess gift, or food, or you simply want to be nice and do something unexpected) … and without the expectations that holidays like Christmas (sadly) seem to carry around with them. Don’t get me wrong … I tend to LOVE all holidays … Thanksgiving is just my favorite. Love the Fall, love to eat, love the sounds of family and friends laughing and talking, and simply love, love, love … Thanksgiving. My family has a tradition of getting up early to all help with the cooking and arranging in our pajamas, getting dressed and ready while everything is finishing up in the oven, eating around 1 or 2, taking random power naps/watching the football game on TV/putting up leftovers/having silly conversations for a while, then gathering in the “Rec Room” to play some cards (or random other games), eat some more, and drink until late in the evening. It’s so wonderful … makes me feel all goofy with happiness.
No matter what each and every one of you have planned for this Thanksgiving, I hope you have a great one! … And, really, please do try to remember everything you have to be thankful for. It’s sometimes easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of life, but it is all certainly worth a thought on days like tomorrow.
Now, go eat until you dang-near pop …
