Thanksgiving
And now for an interlude from all my rawr content for some GOOD news!
I really hate airplanes [I'm afraid of them. Yes, I know that I'm more likely to die in a car than a plane...but I'm used to cars.] but I am flying up to spend some time with Phixious for Thanksgiving. I am very excited because I need a break from my family and from work. I am flying United, no I’m not checking luggage.. I’m just gonna stuff everything into a small carry-on suitcase and a large purse. x] Mufufu.
Kinda wonder what the US Taxpayers’ money pays the TSA to do aside from harass old women and fourteen year olds in skimpy clothing, though. They certainly don’t answer questions regarding what you’re allowed to bring if you think of something that isn’t included on their site.
But yes! So happy, so excited.. I fly out on Monday morning. Might have snow on Thanksgiving which will be a first for me because we don’t get a ton of snow here. Hell, might be landing in the snow. I guess sandals won’t be appropriate foot-attire, but since they make you doff your shoes in the airport, I’m wearing them anyway and bringing sneakers.
I should probably invest in boots.
Finally hit 70 in WoW. Oh, but of course it wasn’t until the day that the expansion was released [raising the level cap to 80] that I hit 70…but oh well. I felt accomplished. Hah.
Whitening strips make your teeth and gums sensitive. This is funny, I’m finding that the supermarket’s generic brand is working better than the Crest ones. x] Only been using them four days, so no exponential results yet. They may be a little whiter now, but it might be wishful thinking, this early on. Even so, they were very inexpensive and I hope very worth it. I don’t like wasting money, but… yeah, treat for me, I guess.
Know what else is a treat for me? Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles. Mmm. Also those super-yummy kettle-cooked salt-and-malt vinegar chips.
And even BETTER than everything, even the first…is that I will be moving around February. You get a cookie if you can guess where to. :D
+Jumping up and down excitedly.+ Finally getting out of heeeeere and away from the familiar drama and the psycho familyyyy! +Does a happy jig.+
Good luck and best wishes..
It’s such a relief to get away from a psycho family.. you don’t have to tell me.. You get out of there girl, and don’t ever look back.
We don’t have thanksgiving here, but we should have something like it really because I think it’s a great reason for a celebration day. A truly justified and historic fact celebration.. not some mumbo jumbo pseudo religious shenanagins designed to fleece us of our cash cynically while spouting some fictitious crap about nothing whatsoever… oooo guess who doesn’t like the christian festivals.. stealing all out important earth rites and burying them under that rubbish.. FYI for christians.. The romans collected their taxes with registration and payments in the weeks around the spring equinox (the reason our financial year still starts in april.. ever wondered?).. so if jesus had been born.. it would have been around easter.. They might even have nailed him up on his birthday… irony or what.. the romans liked a bit of that.
I got totally off topic.. enjoy turkey day.. hugs to Phix.
always

I think that a holiday like that would be good to have. While Thanksgiving, here, has turned into a holiday of gluttony, at least that’s pretty much the only thing someone could hold against it… all the others are so greedy and wasteful on terms of both corporation and consumer. People don’t appreciate what they have.
And that just reminded me of another blog I have to write. x]
Oh, and try to tell them that Christmas = Saturnalia and they have a damn fit!
Thanks bunches, and I will for sure relay them. :]
