A Buntraditional Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, peeps!

I came across this card from a few years ago and had to include it. It makes me happy and pretty much sums up the day. Although, G and I were watching the Macy's parade this morning and he busts out with, "So, what do you think that an immigrant from, say, Somalia, thinks when they watch this?" Seeing it through those eyes, as like, one jumbled up and totally nonsensical commercial, was the best. I'll never look at it the same way again. Which is not to say that I had a certain way of looking at it to begin with. But when the Ninja Turtles came on, I lost it all together.

Speaking of nonsensical chaos, here's how our lil turkey spent the last few days.

It's hard work, all this laying around, you guys. She clearly hasn't missed many meals. Much to our surprise, she hasn't jumped up on the new furniture yet. It's much higher than our old saggy brown dilapidated mess, so maybe she's not putting two and two together that this thing replaced that thing?

We overshot on the size of the couch we'd need in the living room and ended up with an extra piece, so this morning we redecorated the side room. Not bad, right? It's getting cozy in there! Plus, we feel like we're livin' the high life since we got the carpets cleaned. We don't even want to go upstairs anymore because it needs to be cleaned so bad up there. In fact, the whole upstairs needs a massive makeover, but that's for the Christmas break, I guess.

Speaking of breaks, I finished a book I was reading for fun, sighed, and picked up my homework again. Which means my Thanksgiving break is officially over. I've been ignoring paper grading and that's got to start up again too or I'll have a riot on my hands next week. G says I can't mope about my break being over since I technically have two days of it left. He says I can't mope until Sunday when I have to go back to work.

Meanwhile, he volunteered at his job today. We were going to do Meals on Wheels but they didn't need any more volunteers (which is great!). His workplace is understaffed today so he rolled in for a few hours while Roo Roo and I sighed and did our school reading (and drank perhaps one mimosa).

Hope your day is filled with food and love and cuddles and TV and movies and relaxation and then more food. Oh! And naps!

Happy Thanksgiving!
