Thanksgiving Smanksgiving

Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since I was a young tot (see photo above) but I am sad to say that the holiday I look forward to all year is quickly becoming a non-holiday or a noliday in my family.
Yes I look forward to the food. Yes I look forward to football, but neither of these things can be enjoyed if the whole family isnt together.

Ever since my grandfathers passing, my brother moving to Florida and my aunt deciding not to travel on holidays Thanksgiving is just NOT the same. So I sit in this awkward stage. The stage between my childhood traditions and creating new traditions with my future family. Its just uncomfortable. It doesn't feel right. Like Oreos without the creme filling. Like your shoes on the wrong feet.

So instead of playing football in the yard, or dominating puzzles with the cousins. I sat in  one spot on the couch for 6 HOURS. I watched the Cowboys disappoint (close game) and the Aggies pull through for a win against the Longhorns (WHOOP!)

Am I changing? Could it be that Im..... ready...? Shhh I dont want to say the word. But am I getting to the point where my spontaneity and freedom is settling down and being replaced by another desire? A desire to... wed? Oh great.

:::Happy November:::

My favorite month is finally here!

Halloween (my least favorite holiday) is over.....except...wait a minute... New Years wins for least favorite holiday.  Here's why. New Years Eve is always a let down. Everyone talks like it will be so much fun and then nothing happens. I also get really anxious during the countdown and it makes me feel like I need to do something great. something grand. something important to make 2009 stand out.

Im too sentimental- I cant handle the countdown.

My issue with halloween is....im not a ho. Im not a ho. Thats right, I like to keep my clothes on and not prance around mindlessly trying to win over male attention with my outfit or lack thereof. Sue me. You will never see me in a kitty cat or bunny outfit. Or a sexy cop or cat women outfit. The closest I came was when I was "Pokahotass" junior year and only because I thought I was hilarious. And I STILL made sure I was covered.

Halloween is over. YIPPEE. and November is here YIPPEE.

So Happy November.

Football games, crisp weather and Thanksgiving is near.
