It's not my favorite holiday. It's a pathetic excuse for a holiday. I only really enjoy the day because it's a national day off and so I get to spend time with my loved ones and bake green bean casserole.
It's a holiday that is just there. Mostly it is obnoxious. To deal with turkey corpses and all the fuss about this crappy holiday. I don't even like the premise of this day. Why kill all these turkey's so we can celebrate being thankful for having food and complain about stuffing ourselves after over-indulging??! Seems barbaric and pathetic. Taking a turkey's life so humans can enjoy feasting over them in the name of giving thanks.
The holiday just seems like a lost cause on me.
Have we come that far that we need a national holiday to remind us that we should spend more time with family and being thankful for the daily bread? And why be forced to spend time with obnoxious family members that you would not give a hoot about otherwise?
The Native Americans probably were not the least bit thankful that their land got swiped from underneath them by some greedy Europeans that traded it for junk and diseases. The Natives were better off before Thanksgiving and so would we.

Late Night Impulse Buy
I was supposed to be reading a very boring textbook. My bad. I couldn't concentrate. And then I couldn't help finding myself on FB when a photo of this little hot item came up on Live Feed.
Sure, I had never heard of this product in my life. Who knew there had been such a technological breakthrough in hair removal while I had been stuck in the dark ages with my Shick Quattro razors, hot waxes and gooey unknown substances!? I did my research extensively in the minutes before I hit 'one-click' and purchased away. And now this innovative number, which is a major step in advancement for human civilization, will be delivered to my doorstep in 48 hours or more.
Dear Amazon,
You have made it entirely too easy. No transgressing back to a former life to try and remember my secret password. You've made purchasing easy enough for a half-witted baboon with that one-click. It all happens so fast. No chance to even blink or think it over additional clicks.
And why did you allow me to set a password that I have no problems committing to memory? And safely store my credit card information in your data bank, easily activated with the typing of my secret word? A word which you and I know is not really that secret. An actual English word! No codes or string of gibberish that no one bothers writing down.
You must've figured out that rote memorization was never my strong suite growing up. Yes, I will admit. Those nonsensical words evaporate faster from my brain than white lines of happy dust from front of a feigning addict.
Lots of love,
Your Biggest Fan
Jokes aside, the product makes sense and customers seem to be pleased with it. 866 customers can't be wrong, averaging the rating at 4.5 out of 5 stars. Promises of smooth, hair-free skin for up to 4 weeks! Well, duh. How else do you get an ordinary girl to feel like she's fit for a tea party with Her Behindness of The Royal Family? How was I to resist?
The process is not pain-free though. That was never a concern for me. Removing unwanted hairs from the root is far too rewarding of a process to be worrying about pain. I'm definitely not a wuss when it comes to enduring pain for vanity's sake. But just for all you curious folks, I'll report back with an actual testimony once I get my hands on this.

I lit all the candles. I'm drawn to fire.. Yea, yea and it's the female touch. :)
I can't take credit for preparing any of the food. I provided the inspiration is what I like to think. My job was to taste the dark chocolate and two varieties of awesome home brew!
The full moon has all around me peaking at their creativity. :)
Mike, a jolly neighbor and one of the best brewmasters, came over with his latest dark brew. It was simply delicious. He called it witches brew. So rich and flavorful of dark chocolates, coffee and stout. He couldn't stay too long. He sneaked out for a quick getaway from a birthday party over at their lovely home.
I found that log and put it in the fire.

Critical Thoughts Approaching a Full Moon
I need to revamp my closet and bring my wardrobe back to life again. I've been too busy staying out of malls and shopping temptations. It hasn't been that difficult. Just more selective of what I like I guess.
Yes, I think what's missing in my closet is cashmere, silk and color!
Also, while I'm at it, I need to get rid of some shoes, old boots I'll never wear again and bring in the new.
