On Fall and Turkey Time

I like Thanksgiving...and I don't know why. I guess because it is a celebration of ridiculous excess...eat and drink 'til you puke, watch football, go shopping, and get a 4-day weekend. We're not doing anything major, as it's just Rho and I. We have now spent enough money at the grocery store to get a free 4-7 lb. turkey breast. We'll probably make some homemade stuffing, mac and cheese, and sweet potato pie to go along with the turkey. What the hell...maybe I will make the sweet potato pie...I can cook.

THIS I gotta see!!!

I saw some great foliage during my trip up to New England, especially in the Boston area.

That was a great site to see. I remember as a little kid always wanting to go up North to see the leaves turning. It always looked so pretty on TV and in brochures.

I want to go camping...that just sounds like a great thing to do right now. It'd just be me though...Rho's not a fan of the outdoors, and it's almost impossible for her to do something like that right now anyway.

Yeah, I'm too much of a city gal anyway. Give me lots of buildings, shops and bad traffic any day..LOL.

I hope we get a good solid snowstorm this season...and I hope it comes early. One of those 3-footers that keeps you snowed in for a few days. We have some good hills here in the neighborhood that I would like to take on as a sled rider. And if we need supplies, I can always hike up to the grocery store.

Good. I'll remember that you said that when the time comes..hehe.

I might even try ice skating this year. The Flyers opened up a Skate Zone near my apartment last winter...and I haven't laced up skates in over a decade. I would imagine that it's not too expensive, and it could be a lot of fun. Of course, I'll fall on my ass 50 times and look like a crackwhore, but it's all about fun, right? The city should be opening their outdoor rink near Penn's Landing shortly, so that might be worthwhile too.

Yikes...I haven't been ice skating since I was like maybe 9 or 10 years old! I can't imagine trying it again now (since I wasn't so good at it then). But, I'll stand on the sides and watch you instead.
