Wow, I'm stuffed. I had two big meals today. And I just now ate some more dessert. Strawberry shortcake that I missed earlier. :) We still have leftover pumpkin pie too. Mmmmm.

We never have Thanksgiving at my house, but we go to my cousin's house right down the road, which I can walk to in less than 5 minutes. Then later, we're going to my aunt's house, which is about a 10-minute drive away.


We have the traditional menu, but it's usually with a southern twist. We have the traditional turkey, but we have dressing instead of stuffing. And usually we have southern style macaroni and cheese, creamed corn, and dumplings. And also the cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, etc. Sometimes we'll have deer meat if someone's managed to get one that year.

:)

Nothing.

If I venture into a store on Friday, it'll be at night after the crowds have cleared out. No way in hell am I getting up at 4 AM to go out into the cold and push my way through a mob of people. I'd have to be out of my mind.

No. I plan on staying in my warm bed till at least 9:00AM, then get up, have my coffee, and begin putting up Christmas decorations around the house. :)

Of course, just a few days before Thanksgiving, I have to start practically hacking a lung up. I've been coughing ALL DAY LONG. It's seemed to have gotten worse as the day progressed. And I was puking earlier tonight. I couldn't breathe last night from being congested. Then on top of that, I keep randomly sneezing, which sends me into another coughing fit. My throat is so raw. And I'm so freaking tired. But I can't sleep because I keep coughing and cough syrup isn't helping anymore.

Can I just die now?

I love Christmas music, but sometimes it can be so repetitive! I've heard "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey like 3 times already in the past 4 hours.

I've also heard about 10 different versions of "Jingle Bells" between yesterday and today. Lol.

But I still like listening. :)

Bleh. I hope I'm not catching a cold. It started yesterday with a dry, slightly sore throat. Today it's progressed into a dry itchy throat and a minor cough, and sporadically stuffy nose.

Love!

That's the best gift to give anyone.

I'm watching classic Looney Tunes! They're actually airing on Cartoon Network right now. I'm shocked, lol. I love the classics. It's WAY better than the crap they put on tv now. And these are actually funny.

Wow, out of the blue, I wrote up a short BTTF (Back to the Future) fanfic. It's probably really corny. I NEVER write because I think that I suck at it, but this came to mind for some random reason, and I HAD to write it down.

But now I'm too chicken to post it publicly, lol. I'm too scared it'll suck really bad.

I saw this at christmaslovers and had to share:

I'm watching Benjamin Button. I really like this movie. It's got some really pretty scenes, like the sunrise on the lake.

Anyone else seen it?

If any of you are fanfic writers for Supernatural, I thought this might interest you.

I'm not a writer, but I've left some prompts on there, and I'm so hoping at least one of them gets written, hehe. (Mine are #27, 33, 35, 38, & 40 btw)

:)

I heard from a friend the Yankees won the World Series. I haven't watched baseball (or any other sport really) in years.

The only time I ever watched was the Atlanta Braves games in the mid-1990s. I used to watch the games with my parents, and our family really got into it for a while. The Braves were a kickass team back then. But I haven't really been into any sports since then.

No way. I would NEVER consider something like that. I wouldn't try to summon any spirit. That's just asking for trouble, essentially inviting something bad to invade your life/home. There are bad things out there that can trick you, too.

I don't believe we can get messages from the dead. People who have passed on either go to heaven or hell.

That said? I DO believe there are SOME type of spirits out there. Demonic spirits for one, and in fact they CAN masquerade as a person to trick you.

I think that spirits exist, I'm just not sure what they came from, maybe the spirits of strong emotions imprinted on a place, like intense anger, agony, sadness. But they're NOT actual dead people.

Why is it, that when I'm early, the roads seem clearer, and all the traffic lights are green; but when I'm LATE, every single light turns red and holds me up, and I always get stuck behind some big dumb slow-moving truck or some senior citizen going like 10 mph. EVERY FRIGGEN TIME. It's like the universe is out to mock me when I'm late. Lol.

Anyway, I'm having pizza tonight and enjoying a new episode of Supernatural. So today's great already just for those reasons. :)

So I was reading the oldest living dog in the world is 21 years old right now. My cousin has an 11-year-old dog (a rat terrier mix) that was born in 1998 that's still in perfect health. It'd be interesting if she made it that far.

Blaming fast food restaurants for America's obesity is one of the most ridiculous things ever. It's not their responsiblity.

Nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to eat a bunch of fattening fast food.

Adults make decisions for themselves, and parents/caretakers (should) make decisions for what their children eat.

We make our own choices and it's our responsiblity for what we consume. Not McDonald's, not Taco Bell, not any other place.

So my dad brought home this email printed out from his co-worker, and he was convinced that I needed to put my cell phone out on the government "Do Not Call" list because cell phone numbers were about to be handed out to telemarketers.

That sounded REALLY familiar, and sure enough, I found this:

I tried to tell dad this, but he insisted I call the number. I'm not going to. My dad'll believe anything, but he's not as internet savvy as I am. Actually, he isn't internet savvy at all. He barely touches a computer.

At least he can turn one ON and knows how to use a mouse. That's more than I can say for mom. LOL.

Oops! THIS specific post was supposed to go on a community, and somehow it ended up here. So, editing.

I AM watching Charlie Brown tonight though because I love those little holiday episodes! And the trees are absolutely gorgeous here. My favorites are the bright red ones.

It's been raining almost non-stop all day though. We've had enough rain. But I guess it's better than the drought.

I have to teach the kiddies tomorrow night at church.

I am never again going into Party City a week before Halloween. You'd think they announced the end of the world and everyone was out buying supplies with all the chaos that was in there. Lol.
