Give Thanks By Getting Fat

I hope all my wonderous and corky blogger friendlies had a great Thanksgiving! I enjoyed it very much so. I worked from 7am-3pm in which I got paid time and a half , which is always lovely no matter what way you slice it. Got home and was greated by the sweet smell of sweet potato casserole and turkey in the oven. We didn't eat until like 9pm which is really late for us, but I killed time by downing 3 Heineken's...took a little pre-turkey snooze and was then awokened to a table full of special foods to help us give thanks.

**************************************

In exchange for giving thanks, I had to bench my diet for the holiday and eat like it was going out of style. To be quite honest, I didn't even eat half a plate full, it's just that it's all so rich and creamy....*insert watering tongue here*. And the only thing worse than going off your diet for one day of pure food madness is to go pant shopping the day after! I don't recommend this to anyone! It WILL cause serious depression and bad thoughts if you do! I went to Old Navy yesterday and found the most awesome deal on pants...$12.65 each...that's right, any pair of pants, only $12.65 each! No limitations, No gimicks. just down right whorishly cheap pants! I bought 4 pairs and only spent $50. The only depressing thing is that my size pants feel noticably tighter today then they did on Wed...I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...

People that I blog with on a daily basis, (you know who you are), I would love it if you could email me an address that I could send a Christmas card (and/or possibly more if you've been a good little blogger this year...;) ). It's totally optional, I'd just like to wish you all good times this holiday season. Just something to think about.

Random Thoughts...Thanksgiving Style:

**************

-The red temperature gadge that comes in the breast of the turkey is not born with it stuck in him/her....at least I don't think!?!?

**************

-When you offer your mother help in the kitchen and she turns you down, never actually take this as confirmation to do nothing, always be ready to peel, wash, stir, cut, or baste something...It has taken me 19 years to figure this out.

**************

-Don't eat turkey after 7pm when you have to wake up at 4am the next morning...Tryptophan will knock you on your ass for at least 8 hours.

**************

- Turkey and it's Tryptophan seem to have a reverse effect on Lhasa Apso's...just my friggin luck!

**************

-Heineken is goooooood.

**************

-When you work an 8 hour shift on Thanksgiving and are forced to greet all 300 some customers, you WILL get your tongue tied after the first 50 and greet them with "Thappy Hanksgiving".

***************

-People look at you like you're mentally absent when you wish them a 'Thappy Hanksgiving' ...

***************

-What the hell is so wrong with wanting to serve dessert first on Thanksgiving? By the time Pie Time rolls around, I'm too full! You don't understand people, a girl needs pie!!

***************

-According to my Uncle Bill, you must Answer the phone with a 'Happy Thanksgiving' no matter who is calling... Then can I still tell telemarketers and creditors to burn in the flames of hell after I wish them a Happy Thanksgiving?

***************

-My mom makes the worlds best Pumpkin Pie...but don't ask about the Rudabega...damn that rudabega, just damn it!!!
