Thanksgiving Lessons

As the long weekend winds down, there are a few lessons I can take from Thanksgiving this year.

Firstly, having two Thanksgiving dinners in the same day is possible, but not recommended.

Secondly, Black Friday isn't what it used to be, and that should be approached as a challenge.

Thirdly, figuring out what you did on your iPhone the (drunken) night before isn't as fun or easy as it seems.

Lastly, your boyfriend will take pictures of you when you're drunk. And you won't remember it.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

Favoritism

Ain't it funny how one person can do something and you think it's cute, and then someone else does the same thing and it's the most annoying thing in the world?

Of course it depends on the type of relationship you have with those people... but the complete dichotomy of reactions is fascinating to me.

Take for example one of my close girlfriends calling me a 'bitch'. I would laugh it off (you know, if I was too drunk to think of an appropriate come back). And yet some other, not so close, friend can say the same thing in the same way, and all that elicits from me is a side-ways stare (followed by an eye-roll).

That's usually my normal reaction when I decide to let things roll off my back. Just thought I'd share.

The Yankees Win!

Yankees - World Champions 27 times over! It's amazing. Why? I don't know. I haven't watched any game this season.. heck, I haven't watched professional sports since I pretended to be straight back in college to impress some lacrosse boys.

But there's just something about the home team being on the cusp of winning the championship, eh? I mean besides the New York Red Bulls (soccer what?).

Congrats to them! Especially Hideki Matsui being MVP! GoGo Curry, here I come!

The Day After

Wow.

It's been a long time since I've gone.. stayed out until 3 in the morning - the time I didn't realize until I woke up today and found that I had updated my facebook status at that time.

That was fun.. the realization part; and what else did I realize? I fell up some stairs at some point (leading to a ankle swollen). And while I'm no longer in my 'early twenties', I can still party like it's 1999. (That's still hip to say, right?)

Fashion Quote of the Day

"It's important not to take yourself too seriously; we are not finding cures for cancer. But even so, it is an applied art and important for people to feel good. It's something we all do, every day, after breakfast, we have to get dressed."

- Mary-Adair Macaire, CEO Pringle of Scotland

A Revelation

I'm definitely spoiled.

The familiar feeling of entitlement I felt when I was a kid crept up and smacked me in the head a couple of times these past few weeks.

When I was young, it was all about toys, ice cream, and video games. Now, it's all about brunches, happy hours, and parties. In the past few weeks, I've been to a dinner and a show, a 'ladies brunch', and a birthday party so fabulous that I still have bruises.

And when they're over, and I'm at home nursing a hangover, that spoiled little kid inside perks up and complains... "It's just not fair! I want to have more fun! Why do I have to go home?!"

I let that little brat have his say, then remind him of the type of fun he has at home. That usually shuts him up.
