On our way back from Georgia after Thanksgiving, G and I talked about our wedding and we finally set a date! We have been engaged for almost six months now, and it has been wonderful to feel no pressure or tension about planning and getting everything ready. However, I wanted to make sure that we set a goal date so that I could push myself to lose the weight I want to lose and to make the extra money we will need to afford a truly amazing Caribbean Wedding-Honeymoon. After going through the calendar month by month, we finally settled…

So I have this Aunt. She’s the type of person who is highly respected in her community and who would bend over backwards to help everyone in need… as long as you aren’t related to her. A lot of people see her in one way (she taught school for 20 something years and pretty much everyone around knows who she is), but I get to see her in a totally different way. Trying not to bore you with crazy details, I’ll just come out with it. She’s a bitch. She has her select “favorites” in the family (mostly the boys),…

The past week has been full of emotions. First of all, Thanksgiving was good and bad at the same time. I had a good time seeing my Mom, Dad, sister, brother and his wife. I also was very excited to see my Aunt K. However, actually going over to my other Aunt’s house was pretty much a nightmare. I won’t go into it, but let’s just say I’ll have some extra blog material tomorrow about it. We ended up coming home early to tend to Cookie, G’s dog that I have come to love as my own as well. She…

This Thanksgiving will be G’s first turkey day with my family. Now, I know that almost everyone has good food on Thanksgiving day, but I think that the spread my family produces has to be one of the best in the world. First of all, my aunt’s dressing is amazing. It’s not some horrible Stove Top Stuffing (which I can’t stand). It’s a completely homemade stuffing that is absolutely amazing. My Mom bakes her signature bread, which is honestly the best bread ever. Also, my aunt’s sweet potato souffle is to die for. I couldn’t ask for a better Thanksgiving…

There is so much to get done this week! I’m going to have to write up a major to-do list today so that I get every little thing done before we have to leave for Georgia on Wednesday morning!! Stuff like *take the dog to the groomer *clean out the car *do the laundry, etc. Then, on top of everything else, this is NaNo WriMo’s final week! As I look back, I am truly amazed that I have been able to write 37,500 words in just three short weeks. I was even sick several of the days last week and…

I just wanted to make mention that even after .. how many seasons? 15? more? … Survivor is still one of the best shows on Television. Last night, the season was down to the final 8, and although the challenges and the survivor auction were pretty normal for Survivor… it’s the players that really make the game. It was hilarious to watch an almost 60 year old man throw a fit over a damn chocolate chip cookie. If you didn’t see it, you missed out, let me tell you. Then, the sheer joy of watching that bigot of a hateful…
