Gobble gobble gobble!
The only thing I remember from my preschool:
During Thanksgiving time we always had this song we performed for our parents. It went like this:
"Gobble gobble gobble
fat turkeys, fat turkeys
Gobble gobble gobble
fat turkeys are we
We're not here for living
we're here for thanksgiving
gobble gobble gobble
fat turkeys are we"
It was a very upbeat and happy song
So I'm really excited about Thanksgiving. Best holiday ever (aside from christmas, but that's just because christmas means just about as much food). Here's my menu:
Herb encrusted Turkey with cornbread stuffing
double baked red potatoes with garlic and cream
sweet potato tartlets with ginger and cinnamon
Spinach salad with mixed veggies
Grilled vegetables with a balsamic glaze
cornbread
cloverleaf rolls
and for dessert: pumpkin creme brulee finished with candied pecans
Fuck yeah bitches
And here's what I'm thankful for this year:
finishing school (and not having to go back to Chapman)
Having a couple of jobs that I actually enjoy going to, where I make money doing what I love to do
Having parents who are supportive of me
Having a dad who loans me his bass so I can start playing it for real (again)
Having awesome friends who understand my slight awkwardness and sense of humor. (Ok, ridiculous awkwardness)
Thanksgiving makes me realize just how much I actually have.
Yey for the holiday season!
