Happy Thanksgiving to All!

So it's that time of year again. The time of year when I bust my ass making a huge dinner for just myself and my husband that we will invariably have to eat for two weeks or until we puke at the sight of sweet potatoes. But, you know, it's a good time of year.

As I write, the Lion's Club is hanging up lights all along our street, and it's all festive, and I could just pop really. I actually love Christmas, love it more than I care to admit. The other day I was talking to a friend who happens to be British, and was explaining both Matt and my collective love of all things holiday-related and she said "That's so American." And it is. But I love it anyway.

We are going shopping today to start buying our gifts. After I get off work(yes, I am posting to my blog at work) and Matt gets out of class, that is. Why people want others to work on the day before Thanksgiving is beyond me. I'm not doing anything. I am wasting precious electricity just by sitting here with the lights on and looking at the internet. But I have to be here until 2. It's a good thing I'm off for the rest of the week, or I would just have to go ballistic and angrily wrap the Chamber door in gawdy silver garland.

I should go to Ebay and see if that green sweater is still on there....I should bid...no,I shouldn't....oh yes I should....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MY SUCCULENT DRUMSTICKS!
