Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving day always falls on the fourth Thursday of November. It's a big holiday in the United States. It's a day that everybody give thanks to what they have in their life. It's a day of eating turkey with gravy, marshmallow yams, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. People usually share this feast with family and friends. I think everyone love this holiday because they are with friends and family the whole day and everybody gets to eat as much as they want and watch American football while the food is being cooked.

The day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. It's the first day people start shopping for Christmas presents. It's just unbelievable how people shop in the U.S. Some stores open at 1 a.m and others 5 or 6 a.m. Some of those people get there really early and stand in line until the store opens. I did it once when I was in college because I had nothing else better to do and wanted to experience it. It was fun but I never did it again because I didn't see any point to it. The sales are o.k but nothing worth waking up early in the morning and standing in the cold. I'll stand in line if they were going to sell a 40 inch flat screen television for $100 USD, which I don't think is going to happen any time soon. Shopping in America is an experience because sometimes you can't believe how cheap things are. My mother was shocked that even cars go on sale. I just found out today a Wal - Mart employee died because he was trampled by people who were standing in line since Thursday. When the police said they had to close the stores the customers were complaining that they have been waiting since Thursday for the store to open. It's just sad when a human life is less important than material stuff.

Anyway, I've posted pictures of what we had for dinner on Thursday night. It was delicious and it was even sweeter because I shared it with friends and family.

Friday

OMG! I can't believe it's Friday already. It's unbelievable how fast this week went by. I was way too tired to blog yesterday. I didn't even get around to the dishes yesterday and today was another full day. I was out of the house from 9:30 am 'till 4:30 pm. I'm so tired that I can't even add people to my blog properly. I keep clicking on things twice. I don't know if I'm coming or going. I can't even think of what to feed my husband and son. I'm thinking tonight is going to be a pizza or mexican food night. My son is so tired that he's still napping. Times like this I wish I was in Malaysia because in Malaysia I would call this masseuse and come over to the house and give me a massage and it's so cheap. It would cost around $20USD for an hour and a half. It's too expensive to have a massage in the States. All I can do to relax is turn on my DVR and watch my Grey's Anatomy and veg. That would be a great Friday night.

In school today we did the cutest little art project. A friend of mine gave me her materials so I could do it with the kids in preschool. It's the cutest turkey ever. I think the parents loved it more then the kids. It wasn't too hard and the best part was that it was not too messy. Gotta love those kind of projects. I've added a photo what the turkey looks like. I also added a picture of our pumpkin we did for Halloween. I thought it was cute.
