Thursday- I'm a vegetarian so Thanksgiving generally isn't a big deal to me (seeing that it revolves around turkey), but I wanted to get in the spirit this year as well as enhance my cooking skills, this year I wanted to prepare a traditional thanksgiving meal. My dad and I had quite a large selection of food for two people to eat. I'll be honest and tell you that I was pretty grossed out by the turkey at first. I became squeamish at the thought of spreading butter and poultry seasoning inside of the skin, but I "sucked it up" and just did it. I didn't mind it as much after the initial disgust when touching it, in that small amount of time I guess I got used to it. Other items on the menu included: antique broccoli, which is mostly broccoli and carrots with melted cheddar cheese sauce, grated parm, and bread crumbs. Celery and onion stuffing, mashed potatoes, and a cranberry pineapple desert. We also made pumpkin pie from scratch and added vanilla ice cream on top of it. All and all a pretty good meal. My least favorite was the antique broccoli, not sure what it was about it because I usually really like broccoli and cheese. My absolute favorite thing was definitely the pie. It was sooo good! We had an early dinner because by the time everything was ready to eat we were starving. After that I spent the rest of the night watching tv shows on the computer.
Friday-Don't remember. That's kind of scary. Sometimes I find that I don't remember entire days and that leads me to the question, what the hell is wrong with me? And I know what you're thinking, it wasn't a blackout, which makes this forgetful business even more of a mystery. I'm pretty sure I went to work though.
Saturday-Lazed around in pj's. Had Thanksgiving round 2 with my mom and my uncle Steve (mostly consisting of leftovers from the Thanksgiving with my dad). My uncle gave me his old Mac :)! I was expecting a computer from the early 90's, but was pleasantly surprised to find a fairly new computer.
Sunday-My day consisted of the eternal process of cleaning my room. The reason I have found for constantly cleaning my room is that each morning I spread out multiple articles of clothing on my bed to decide what to wear, then of course I don't have time to put everything back because in the morning I sleep in as late as possible (giving myself that extra then minutes of sleep, it makes a life changing difference, didn't you know that?). That night I'm too exhausted to put the stuff away and so it gets pushed off onto the floor. This happens all week, hence the clothing pile on my floor. Weekends I usually have a few hours to tidy up and if I'm not too lazy I do so. I also went to work and worked on my blog. As I was about to go to bed early I remembered that I should get on amazon to make some Christmas purchases while the black Friday sales were still on. At this point I was in a state of sleepy confusion and didn't buy anything after all. 10:00-I attempt to fall asleep. 12:30- still awake, shit, I'm going to be tired tomorrow and I have to stay up late because I close at work. Stress.
Now for the rest of the assignment...

I commend you for trying to embrace the whole turkey thing. Perhaps you could next year introduce your family to vegetarian options and in that, find that Thanksgiving is about loved ones stretching themselves and being open to new food:) I also completely forget days or events. Could it be that we're both sleep deprived?
