Thanksgiving blog post?!

This may be a little early, but I had a few minutse (aka about fifty) before my next class begins and since break is about to start I don't feel as though I should be wasting away in the library. I deserve a break- right? Right? Anyway- I found some questions online about Thanksgiving and I thought I'd go ahead and answer them in this post. I'll leave a little blank template below and I'd love it if everyone would answer them for yourselves in a comment (just include your name!)




My Thanksgiving plans this year....
Nothing special that I am aware of. I plan on waking up relatively early (around 7 or so) going on a jog around the neighborhood, an then coming home taking a shower, and getting back in my PJ's to watch a little bit of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. At some point I will probably see Zach for a few minutes but for various reasons we don't actually "do" Thanksgiving together yet- so he'll probably just stop by for a bit and maybe watch an episode of 30 Rock before heading back to his family.

After dinner I'll probably do festive things like google things I want for Christmas and make a list (honestly have NO idea what to ask for....), then perhaps watch a Christmas movie... or more 30 Rock!

My favorite Thanksgiving was....
I'm honestly probably combining a few Thanksgivings into one here, but in my head this was all the same year . I guess I was about 8 or 9 and I remember waking up and going outside and it was probably like 40 degrees out, one of those really traditional "cold" and "crisp" Thanksgivings. I remember roller skating in the driveway (white skates, pink wheels) and waiting for my Grandparents to get to our house. I remember coming inside when we got there- and playing with my beanie babies, and then having dinner. After dinner I seem to remember going to see the lights in Ocean City, and then coming home to play with my beanie babies some more. I know this probably sounds like an incredibly boring Thanksgiving but its the one that I think of whenever I think of Thanksgiving.

My signature Thanksgiving dish....
Oh, I haven't really gotten one yet. I suppose pumpkin pie or Brocoli Caserole as my mom has insister I assist in the preparation of Thanksgiving over the last few years and those are the only things I have any memory of making.

My favorite Thanksgiving food is...
Oh goodness... this is tough. I am going to have to cheat and just name them all because I aboslutely love holiday food. I love brocoli caserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, twice baked potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Yum!

When I say Thanksgiving, you say.... (free association)
Food!

Thanksgiving is....
A day to be reminded of everything that is wonderful in your life and to be thankful for it, a day to rest and recouperate, a day for family and friends

I am thankful for.....
My family, my fiance, my friends, my job, my home, my dog, my car, my brain, my shoes, my jewelery, my candles, my bed, my books, my passions, my creativity, and laughter (:
