carving the turkey a day late

very soon my family will be sitting around the dining room table (the fallen oak tree is in plain sight still) with the turkey, cranberries, stuffing, apple muffins, and pumpkin pie. i know what you're saying...today is friday, not thursday. well, dad was in brazil somewhere...i can never remember the names of the cities he flies to...unles its like paris, london, rome, or tokyo. anyway, he was flying. so we are carving the turkey a day late.

while everyone else rose early for the doorbuster sales at the malls (like colette...geez you people are crazy to venture outside your homes on black friday) i slept in. it was wonderful...i think i got up around 11. i'm all confused by the clocks in my room because most of them aren't set back yet but some are. i have no idea what time it is in the morning. the sales try to get earlier and earlier every year. it kinda frustrates me. i think one store was advertising their opening at 5 am. 5 am. that is ridiculous. i think the sales lasted only until 10 am too. stupid stores. some even started early sales on thanksgiving. come on people. its supposed to be a holiday, not some time to reap profits from anxious christmas shoppers. after halloween, thanksgiving is simply skipped over. everyone has no idea what thanksgiving is for anyway. they think its being thankful for crap like cashmier sweaters and new gadgets. one tv station claimed that it was in order to thank the indians. hello! no. the first thanksgiving was the pilgrims thanking GOD for blessing them.

anyway, been watching the tv even though its another beautiful day outside. thank God its finally stopped raining. hopefully it will be just as nice tomorrow for the game. i'm excited to kick tech's butt. my whole family is for tech. even my older sister who doesn't even go there. they're just trying to pick on me. oh well. georgia is better anyway. sense any bitterness?

i have many things to be thankful for today. some of them i listed yesterday. i won't bother with listing them here, but believe me, theres a lot. well, time to go eat with the fam. happy belated thanksgiving to me...and shopping to the rest of y'all.
