I will be spending Thanksgiving with some old friends this year.
I'm sure you're wondering who....
Steve Martin and John Candy. Oh and Kevin Bacon will be stopping by. Just because I can't be with my family doesn't mean I shouldn't continue on with tradition! So Belami and I will be watching Planes, Trains And Automobiles together!
I guess it's a good thing I don't have any big plans because I am now working the overnight shift for Midnight Madness! I honestly think it's sad that people choose to shop instead of spend time with their loved ones and relax around the holidays. Maybe this is because I've worked retail for the last 9 years so relaxing and spending extra time with my friends and family during this time of year hasn't been an option since before I was 16! Anyway, I am excited to work this shift because I think it will be a lot of fun and it should be super busy so time will go by quickly. If you work in retail you should probably experience Midnight Madness at least once! And just think of the exciting blog entry you'll get to read on Friday as you enjoy the first of many cold turkey sandwiches you'll eat over the next couple of weeks.
I'm really very much okay with that fact that I won't be home for the holidays. If I had the choice would I go home? Absolutely! But I get to see everyone in a couple of months so that will do! I will miss you all this Thursday and I'll miss Grammy's sweet potatoes for sure. Even though I'll be missing out there are certainly things I am thankful for:
Belami Gravy! Of course, my little Thanksgiving baby! I'm so thankful that I have a great job with a great company that believed in me enough to move me out here! And for the Internet which has allowed me to keep in touch with my friends and family so easily while I'm out here! What are YOU thankful for this year?
Before eating, always take a little time to thank the food.
Arapaho proverb
Don't forget to thank your turkey for being so delicious!

And don't forget about Alice's Restaurant! I actually have it on CD - had I remembered before right now I would have sent it to you. I kinda forgot about the movie because Thanksgiving really snuck up on me this year - this warm weather has me all screwed up I feel like it should be September still...but now that you reminded me I'm gonna go rent it.
Oh! and I have an awesome recipe for sweet potato casserole that is really really easy to make if you want it I'll email it to you :) It's not quite the same as Grammy's but it's a great substitution.
