Happy Turkey Day!

Well it's that time of year again. The time where you arm yourself with your coffee and a game plan. A plan to take out other shoppers and race through the streets as fast as possible. The time of year where you max out your credit cards. WEEE! It's Black Friday!!

Wait? It's Thanksgiving?! That pesky little holiday that gets in the way off that shopping? HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Happy Parade Day!!!!

Kidding kidding. Or maybe not. I do feel thankful that I am not in the retail world this year. I remember having to get TO Kohls at 3 am on Black Friday and I wanted to kill everything. I can't imagine having to work ON Thanksgiving. It truly is a shame, especially those who flew in to see their family. I hope all retail workers are able to have a good albiet short Thanksgiving. Be safe tomorrow. Be safe.

SO yes. Today is Thanksgiving! A time for eating tons of food and watching parades and spending time with family. A time that you sit around the table and talk about what you are thankful for this year. And also a time to dodge X__X family members and fall asleep on couches.

This year I am thankful for my health. It is so easy to take things for granted and I am grateful I don't have to worry about maneuvering through crowds with a wheelchair or counting all my pennies paying for hospital bills. Things can happen in an instant and I am grateful for my health. And the relative good health of most of my family.

I am grateful for my husband. He puts up with a lot of my crazy antics and sorta levels me out. He is my pack mule, camera man, spell checker (because yes folks it could be worse! XD), my chef, my trash man, and most importantly my best friend.

I am grateful for the travel opportunities I have had this year. Seems like I was jetting around all over the place. And at no point was my luggage lost! I could have done without all the "random" pat downs though...

I am grateful for all my loyal readers. Sometimes my blog posts are late or make no sense but it really makes me happy that people read and respond to my crazy posts. Thank you so much and I hope all of you have a good Holiday if you celebrate it. If you don't...have some pumpkin pie anyway. It is delicious.

While I am typing this I am watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. From the comfort of my own home of course. I don't think I could live in New York (well afford it either....) but even if I did it looks WAY too cold outside. So I shall watch from here and enjoy the MANY shows and floats. Here are a few special pictures I took from the couch! Yay parades yes?

See? Much better than being outside. Pass the turkey please.

The nuns, they sparkle.

Love the hat but the chemistry between these two hosts was way off.

One of the more special performances.

Thank you Macy's. No one your stuff is so expensive, you got to put on this parade every year!!!

MOG I saw Toy Story 3 last Thanksgiving and nearly cried. X___X

I remember the old school Sonic games.

Is he going to smash into the walls or something?

I think this entire parade was sponsored by the dough boy!

I don't think I have ever seen this float before. YAY MICKEY!

Husband loves the Snoopy!!!

Pikachu learns FLY!

I've never seen this float before. Pretty cool Mr. Peanut.

Favorite float EVER! Yay Hello Kitty!

Thought this elf was pretty cute.

And then Thanksgiving was over. THE END!
