Happy Thanksgiving



May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey be plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have never a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

What do your feet say about you?

I found this funny little thing about feet on my sis-in-law Rebecca's blog, and since I found out we both have kind of a feet phobia, I thought it would be fun to see what my feet actually say about me. I love little kid toes and feet, but only while they're really little - once they reach about school age, I'm done thinking their feet are cute. I think it must stem from some deep seated disgust at all the times my little sister used to put her sweaty, clammy feet on me when we were kids.... so that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!


What Your Feet Say About You:



You are pretty average in your expressiveness. You can express yourself well, but you don't always want to.



You are a somewhat passionate person. A few things get you very fired up, but you're usually pretty laid back.



You are an assertive person at times. You'll pull out all the stops to get what you want, if it's worth it.



You take a while to fall in love, but once you do, you stay pretty attached to your partner.



You are not easily frightened, but you have a few strong phobias.



You are intellectual and philosophical. You are more concerned with thoughts than action.



You are a fairly hard worker, but you are also a little spoiled. You like indulge yourself every now and then.



You are easily influenced by other people. You're quite impressionable, so you should only be around people who are a good influence.

Guilty Pleasures

Well, everyone has them, so I guess I found out one of my guilty pleasures was High School Musical 3. It really took me back to my preteen days when my cousin called me up and suggested we take the girls to see the movie the other night and we were surprised to find that it was actually pretty good. Very "Footloose" meets "Grease" - I loved the part where Troy is all conflicted and ends up dancing around through the school, it was like Kevin Bacon all over again! We laughed, but really enjoyed the singing...Boys are Back was probably my favorite. Tori & Isabel thought it was funny that we laughed so much, and I told them we just had a really fun time with them. It was a great Girls Nite out.
