Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!!
Just four more hours...and I'm free!!! Actually, I have class today at 11:00 and then we're off til Monday. French class....the class for which my books never left the van since my last class on Monday. I am so going to class without doing ANY homework. I never do that. I hope she doesn't call on me...if I didn't have to work, I'd skip class. (Never did it in high school and I don't do it often now...but today would be an exception to my own self-imposed rule...beings I already broke one of my other self-imposed rules by not doing my homework.) But since I'd either have to be in the office or in class...I'm gonna choose class. Unprepared. I hate being unprepared.What I'm not unprepared for is my Thanksgiving dinner. Ooooohhhh!!! I can't wait to get home and start cooking! I can't wait! That's what I want to do! Cook and then cook some more!!! It's so much fun...at Thanksgiving!
I ordered my IPOD yesterday! It comes in today. But I can't have it until Christmas. Oh, the misery.
I was in NYC one year on Thanksgiving. I always think of that year when the Macy's Day parade comes on. We were staying that the NY Hilton...and it was so freaking cold on the parade route...that I went upstairs to my room and watched the parade on TV.
Yall want to know what we are having for Thanksgiving dinner? What are yall having?

Yall hungry yet? Come on over. We'll have plenty! I won't cook for a week after Thanksgiving.
But you know my favorite thing about Thanksgiving dinner. It's the turkey sandwich you eat the next day. Fresh, soft white bread with Miracle Whip and juicy (yes, my turkey is juicy) white turkey breast. Oh, yum!
I am thankful for so much! My family, friends, home and animals top the list. I am so thankful for the life I've been given the and the opportunities I'm blessed with. C'est bonne!
