I don't really get Thanksgiving. I mean, no, I GET it, but I just don't care that much. Don't get me wrong, I love me a day off and I enjoy getting together with family, but the hell that is traffic just ruins that for me. So, because I refuse to drive on Thanksgiving, I don't actually get to enjoy that part. I usually just grab something at Jack in the Box or make something simple for my husband and I.
I wish we had more opportunities to spend time with family. I just don't think having this one day per year is the way to go. Shouldn't we appreciate the things in our life all year long? Shouldn't we make time for family and friends regularly and not just figure, "oh, we'll see each other on Thanksgiving" when everyone is stressing out from the traffic and the cooking and all like that? There should be a better way. But, I guess we'd have to shift our paradigm.
Ah well... this year I'm eating dinner in a restaurant. I know. I'm a horrible person because I'm supporting people having to work on Thanksgiving, but that special dinner sounds great, it's a quarter mile from my house (no freeway) and I have a gift card. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ME!

Five Things About Halloween
1. I seriously LOVE halloween
2. This year we barely even got into costume and dragged ourselves to a party. Granted, I'm not too happy with the host of the party, but still. I feel like Halloween passed me by. I have a giant box of costumes plus more scattered around the house. I just bought some 70% off additions at Target. Yet, I couldn't be bothered to wear one? I'm hoping we have a better Halloween 2014.
3. We go all out on the yard decor, but since we were getting painting quotes, we kind of put it off and then Halloween came and went without only a single blow up out front, except for some quickie lights ON Halloween night. WHAT HAPPENED?
4. I will give Candy to anyone who shows up in a costume. I don't' even care if you're an adult, but make the effing effort and put on a damned costume, you lazy ass.
5. One time I worked in a Haunted House for one night while visiting a friend in Ohio for said night. I was an inmate in an insane asylum and I learned a valuable lesson that night. Teenagers are JERKS. Nasty, Hateful, Buttheads.
