phat pants

Jared updated our family blog today with pics � but for some reason, chose the weirdest looking ones on the camera. I�ll post some good ones soon, I promise. Well, relatively good. I do look like a truck hit me, but I don�t look as bad as that pic, good golly.
On the appearance front, I have a mosquito bite in the middle of my forehead.
It�s not all dire news though � I did fit into a pants on Saturday!! I bought them for $4 a long time ago at Old Navy � no they didn�t fit but mmmm golly they were so soft I had to get �em. And now, They have come in super handy, because they made me feel like I wasn�t a total cow, woot woot!
Unfortunately, I got a little over zealous and tried on a skirt the next day, thinking �hey, I�m regular size again, yaaayyy!� Um� disaster. But hey, a step in the right direction!! All I really ask for is a flat stomach again. Is that too much to ask for? Because if I don�t get that back, I�m stuck with shopping for mumus to hide my puffy tummy. I miss my clothes! I doooo!
I�m missing Thanksgiving this week� we�re getting together with some other Americans next Sunday for a dinner, but it�s not the same, you lucky lucky folks. (the Americans out there � but not you �others� � no turkey for you!)
Actually, no turkey for me either. You can�t find that here until after Christmas or something. I really could go for a Turduken right about now�
We have pretty cool holidays with tradition as Americanos. I was chatting with my friend Macella, and she said they don�t have traditions like we do. �You have specific traditions for each holiday � we just have churrascos (barbeques). And get drunk.�
It made me think � we really do have a lot of cool traditions. There�s Halloween with the trick or treating and crazy costumes, there�s Valentine�s Day and July 4th, St. Pattys � we have some silly traditions, but it�s fun � you gotta admit.
Enjoy your turkey � although this is not the end of what you will be hearing from me on the subject. I plan on being very complain-y about it.
Just so you know. You smarmy comfortable people with your turkeys and your cranberry-a-la-Barts.
SUPERCRACK says be thankful for the stuffing!
