saving turkies and replacing them with cake

First and foremost, happy thanksgiving to everyone! I'm kind of torn when it comes to thanksgiving. I like having a few days off school and sleeping 11 hours in one night (which was the case last night and let me just say, it was amazing). And I like eating my tofu turkey and gaining 5 pounds in one weekend. But on the other hand, my house is usually filled with football games all weekend ranging from college to pro (don't get me wrong, I love watching usc games, but as a girl I feel there's only so many back to back football games I can take before wanting to go screaming for the hills.) Right now, all the males in my family and my brother's friends are in the front room playing some new war video game with the surround sound on full blast, so the house is punctuated with sounds of explosions, war cries, and the boys yelling at the tv screen.

Tomorrow I get to escape and hang out with some friends I haven't seen in at least half a year, which will be wonderful. It's nice to have friends who you don't speak to for ages and then you hang out with them and it's as if you saw them yesterday. And just when I thought everyone alive had seen Borat already, I found someone who hasn't so I don't have to go alone now. hooray.

My mom found this cake at the grocery and felt compelled to buy it. Why? Who knows...but now we have a cake shaped and decorated like a turkey. So ridiculous.

Did anyone see that bush officially pardoned a turkey at the white house? I wonder if that turkey was later made into thanksgiving dinner anyway.
