Thanksgiving Edition.....

You guys, it's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I don't have any time for this, and you don't have any time to read it, so I'm going to do us all a solid and keep it short, and sweet. Does anyone remember when "Thanksgiving Eve" was basically the biggest night of the year to go out? Yeah, neither do I. 


What's to drink...

We have a lot to be thankful for. So, a lot, that's what to drink. Cheers!

Decisions, decisions.

What's to eat....

You guys, you know what's to eat. Let us pray that the turkey isn't dry (or raw and inflicts a bad case of salmonella onto the family), the wine is flowing (if it's not at your house, you can come here, there is plenty), and there is no talk of politics or any other stupid shit. May your pants be elastic, and your leg be hollow. Gobble Gobble. 

Get ready to get your mashed potatoes and gravy on

Working on my Thanksgiving playlist....

I stole this idea from a friend's brother-in-law (thanks, Joe), and decided to make a playlist for the day. I included some very obvious songs about family, home, and being thankful, but I also threw in a few personal ones for my family members, all of whom I am very grateful to have in my life. Feel free to swipe the idea from me, as it wasn't my idea in the first place. I make it a point to hang around with smart people who are always thinking up good ideas. I'm no dummy. Here is the "Thanksgiving playlist that needs more songs but I don't have time, AND is a little eccentric, but so is everybody's family, so I think that works".

P.S. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, even if you're like my husband, who skips the middle parts, and only reads the beginning and the end (because "those are the best parts, and I don't care about the wine and food crap"). I appreciate the love and support I get every week from this little project of mine. Happy, happy Thanksgiving, from this very grateful girl.
