Thanksgiving 2010

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  My stomach still feels like it's going to explode but it was totally worth it--I have a cousin that is a chef, another aspiring chef, and my mom is one of the best cooks in the world--needless to say dinner was delicious!  But I sprinted the marathon folks, and I am feeling the repercussions still.  I have so much to be thankful for this year, my family, my friends, my health, the list never really ends.  Today I got to celebrate it with some of my favorite people.  I heard some pretty funny things today and you all deserve a chance to hear them...

1. Molly told me what she was thankful for this year and here's what she had to say: this thanksgiving i'm thankful for Lupe Fiasco, safe walks, future apartments where disgustingly awesome dance parties will go down, white trash, hot TA's but not their girlfriends, amurica, and toilet paper that doesn't feel like i'm wiping with sand paper.  

2. As we were eating the skin off the turkey like "savages" as my cousin Jared would say.. Nolan provided us some words of inspiration: "pain is temporary, pride is forever".. in reference to just how hot the turkey skin was.. no need to worry, we ate it all despite the temperature.

3. We had two turkeys this year and after eating the skin off the first one, some people who missed out on it came up and were somewhat upset but my mom assured them, "they sell naked turkeys now.. you didn't miss out on anything." Mom's always know how to make things better.

4. My little cousin Jared was going around asking people to plug their numbers into his new phone and when he walked up to our cousin Meredith he said, "oh my gosh, I forgot your name!"  He has a bad habit of forgetting people's names.

5.  About halfway through dinner David said, "I'm gonna need a shot of Drano after this meal."  Trust me we all could have used one.. well said Dave.

6.  As the story goes, Aiden, who is probably 7 years old said the other day "Sometimes you just have to leave a trail of broken hearts." In reference to his 12 year old brother breaking up with his "annoying girlfriend."

I missed a lot of the funny stuff but as you can see I have one interesting family but I wouldn't trade any of them for the world.  I'd like to give a special shout-out to Brian overseas.. we missed you bud but we'll be ready for you when you get back!
