gobbled

I remember Thanksgiving last year...I had to work. I remember teaching my kids about today's Thanksgiving traditions and had mad copies of coloring sheets and word search puzzles. I remember it being a "fun day" and passing out candy corns and I remember gobbling at my students as they entered and left the classroom.

Thanksgiving this year was traditional and familiar. It was filled with family activities and of course, lots of food. The turkey feast has come and gone and I ate enough to last the winter. Mashed potatoes, home made gravy, sweet potaters, jello salads, stuffing galore, turkey, fresh cranberry sauce, PIES AND PIES AND PIES oh my. The only thing missing, the one dish that's a Thanksgiving staple (in my opinion) was green bean casserole. How could this scrumptious dish be overlooked? Had I known, I would have made it myself.

Having been gone for Thanksgiving last year, I doubled my fork fulls this year. Stuffed and buffed I attempted to hit up a few shops the following day, but was quickly reminded that people get a little crazy with their shopping madness and I resorted to the comfort of my house. I did get a new jewelry armoir to house the many goodies I bought over the past year and I'm excited to furnish my new room with it.

Tomorrow, I move. I hope it doesn't rain.

and, I think Thanksgiving has made me more hungry then normal.
