Happy Holidays...I think?

My husband and I just had a wonderful thanksgiving! You know that holiday about blah blah Indians blah blah pilgrims who gave all the Indians disease blah blah FOOOOODDDD!!!!!!! Yes, food, who doesn't love it? Turkey death sentences are made across the world in the occasion for our American holiday, and oh does mass turkey murder taste so good! So this year in honor of this great American holiday I cooked my first turkey. I got home from work that afternoon running in to start cooking the turkey (I even stayed in my work clothes, since I work in a deli and cook raw chicken all day in them anyway) and after cleaning the turkey, I realized I hadn't gotten out my oven bag. In enters my husband and our neighbor joey, cutting onions, helping me with the oven bag, shouting, running, and all shoved into our tiny one-bedroom apartment joke of a kitchen. After taking the turkey in and out of the oven bag several times we finally got it right, and we were covered in turkey juice. The dinner was oddly enough, a success! I hope you all had good luck on your thanksgivings too.

this picture speaks for itself, with a sign!

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over we come to the most mass produced, overdone, and loved holiday of the year. Christmas! People splurge entire paychecks on this holiday, so they can load presents underneath the tree. My husband and I have an imaginary tree...because we are too poor to buy one...and underneath it you find... absolutely no presents. Haha, looks like the ghetto will be celebrating the true meaning of Christmas this year. Which would be the $20 an hour I get if I work Christmas day, right?

selling your soul to the devil...i mean money

No, in all seriousness, I'm happy to be celebrating a real Christmas this year with my husband. It will be a little difficult knowing my extended family still isn't in the mood for the holidays, but maybe I can butt in anyway, cause I'm always so polite haha. God has really blessed us this year, and I am happy to be celebrating that, with or without presents. Jesus truly is the greatest gift and I am reminded of His love everyday. Ghetto Christmas really isn't that bad after all.

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy" ~Psalms 126:3

And, of course, your quote to think about for the day "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love." ~Hamilton Wright Mabie

Just rambling...

I have no followers or anyone who reads this blog, but the Internet is entirely about insulting people with your honest personal opinions or that...um *cough*weird naked stuff *cough.* Since I'm not getting into anything quite THAT awkward I'm just going to post pointless stuff that entertains me, and maybe every once and a while insult everyone with an opinion that is different than theirs! Cause without people taking all their beliefs so personally we wouldn't have wars...which would be...bad...i think....instead of thinking about that lets all just look at this pretty picture!

Does everyone feel better and distracted now? Good!

Today I learned that the closer we get to the future the closer the world gets to total globalization. I don't just mean because I can talk to my friend in Egypt on the facebook page based in the United States with the tech support in India. I mean that the world is seeing a more equal market, more equal life spans, and even a more equal birth rate...other than the middle east they really don't seem updated on the Internet yet. But even though the world statistically is growing so similar we all still embrace our separate cultures. So globalization isn't so much joining the "cool crowd" at highschool as much as it's just the giant mesh of highschoolers themselves. Everyone different, but all in the same place, we even label the "clicks" according to the country they live in and make stabbing remarks about other people we don't know thing about! Ah and you thought you were too old for highschool drama. But enough with the metaphor before i start labeling whole countries as emos or preps.

Does he look Lithuanian to you?

Tonight at midnight marks the release of Harry Potter 7:part 1. Tonight, HP geeks everywhere are dressing in their best nerd costumes and trying their very hardest not to just start screaming joyously (and weirdly) in the streets. We will all go into the crowded movie theater together, buy outrageously overpriced and stale popcorn, and we will stubble out exhausted at 2 in the morning so we can sleep well tonight, knowing that it will still be in theaters for at least 2 more months. At least it's not about vampires.

With that I leave you this simple quote to think about, "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
