To begin this blog, let's take a quick poll...So, who has FELT an earthquake since last Tuesday? Anyone?....Anyone?....HA! I didn't think so. This just proves my last blog's point. I realize they have measured some earthquakes, but I haven't felt a single one since my quake-causing husband has returned home. I'm just saying...Everyone knows, I can't resist any opportunity I'm granted to showcase my right-ness.
So, Thanksgiving? It comes every November, but somehow it doesn't seem possible to be that time of year again. I don't know if it was my wedding or maybe the immense stress this semester's schoolwork has placed on me, but this one totally snuck up on me. One thing that will be new this year is the designation of which side of the family we spend which holiday with. This year, we are going to be with his family for Thanksgiving, while my side won Christmas. It is going to be strange to be away from my side of the family for one of the holidays, but I am optimistic (Shocked? It occaisionally happens) about the start of this new tradition of holiday-swapping between families. I'm super pumped about cooking/baking and most likely burning/ruining some treats to take with us to Thanksgiving! I have always loved the idea of cooking and baking, but, the majority of time, I end up screwing something up - not super bad, but enough to make my cooking mediocre, at best. For instance, I just choked down the chili I made because I added WAAAYYY too much chili seasoning. It only makes sense to half the seasoning when you half everything else in the recipe, huh? Ooopppsss....However, the extreme spice of it really cleared out the sinuses. Another thing I am looking forward to is the Christmas gift exchange we will be having at Thanksgiving since we won't see them during Christmas. Hope his side of the family buys into that ol' theory of "giving" is better than "receiving," as I have yet to complete shopping for their gifts.
