Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I attribute this to my love of mashed potatoes, a few days off from school/work, holiday television specials, and leftovers. Plus, this is a great lead-in to my birthday (November 30^th for all you last minute shoppers). Though I don’t really care for football, sitting around on comfy couches with family will most assuredly distract me from any substantial updates until next week. Plus, with freelance writing gigs coming in from Colorado James, I’ll have more than enough going on to keep myself busy.

But before any of the fun can begin, I need to make my grandmother’s recipe for stuffing. I’ve been coming to Megan’s family’s Thanksgiving meals since the turn of the century and I always weep inside because I won’t eat their stuffing. They put raisins in it for some wicked (meaning bad not good in this instance) reason. And as we can all agree, a Thanksgiving without stuffing is like a Christmas special without a forced celebrity cameo.

While I’m gone, have fun with the shop.mlb.com personalized jersey generator. Though I will never drop even $50.00 on a team jersey, the temptation to order one with a funny name on the back is tantalizing. And just so you know, while “BUTTCHEEK” and “PEE PEE” and deemed inappropriate, you can get “DOUCHE” or “FECES” blazoned across your shoulders. To quote the shopping program, both of these are a “great choice!”
