we just got an email about thanksgiving stating my aunt and uncle, who have had thanksgiving all but about 2 years of my life, have decided not to do it this year and go to one of their daughter's inlaws instead. I knew the day would come, since my mom and aunt (mom's sister) haven't always gotten along, but I wasn't expecting this. To think I've been planning my thanksgiving desserts since this summer. I also bought some turkey candy molds to make everyone a little goodie bag of truffles and a chocolate turkey. Just this morning while at work I thought about emailing my aunt in another few weeks to tell her I was going to do that and ask her if she'd like me to put labels with everyone's name on them and use those as place cards since she always makes different place cards each year. It's pretty awkward and distant when we all get together over the past few years but I'm still really disappointed that my thanksgiving is going to be different this year. I wasn't able to come home last year so I spent thanksgiving night alone in Phoenix with the dog and cat while my sister and her boyfriend came home to be with the family. Just another thing to add to this crappy year.....
. That will be a blast and a half!
. Makes it challenging to get in and out 
) it was pretty cheap and they all noticed but too bad. I think everyone had a really bad taste in their mouth by the time the 3rd one came around and were not too excited that they all had to plan weddings in the same year and then act like they were entitled to lavish showers and wedding gifts. So due to that and the way my aunt has treated my mom over the years, it's probably for the best. I guess I was just looking forward to making a bunch of desserts and truffles. One of my oldest friends since gradeschool, the one I've talked about watching her son play football, has a birthday that week and I've always made her family a thanksgiving pie for her bday. She asked me to make her a carrot cake instead after I gave her some of the leftovers from the one I made a few weeks ago. So now that I won't be baking for the family I'll be able to make her more than I had planned. 
I just ran to Target to get a few things for my trip and was a little confused over the choice of 2 and 3 oz bottles they have. Some of the 3 oz bottles even had a little airplane on it saying it was TSA approved. It's been a while since I've flown with just carryons so I guess I haven't paid much attention to that particular restriction since I just pack all of my bottles. So I looked on TSA's website when I got home and it says 3 oz bottles in a 1 quart bag is acceptable. Good to know. I was going to put all of my 2 oz bottles in little baggies.

That one is just yucky. I can't think of any other way to describe that flavor. I made the mistake last year of buying 2 oranges at Walgreens on a buy one get one free. I ended up giving most of those away for a diffferent flavor, which was bad but not as bad 
There's a store in Phoenix that sells them individually so I was able to try a few flavors and they were all rotten but I still buy it and drink them. My allergist said to do this year round but if not all year then at least during flu season. Vitamin c pills, or any other vitamins, make me want to throw up so I guess I'd rather drink something that tastes bad then take a pill.
If you don't know what I'm talking about then go to youtube. I can't believe he took out another player like that 
You can actually go up to 3.4 ounces, I believe, and as long as you can get all your little bottles in one clear plastic quart zip lock bag you're good! I have one that I pretty much never unpack...it's all travel size versions of some of the liquids and gels I use that I just refill from the non-travel sized ones. 
Then he starts in on the whole Walgreeens has flu shots. I then remind him that the Dr. doesn't charge me a extra $25 that Walgreens does. Gosh those are fun conversations 
But I have a job in a field I went to school for and that's really more than a lot of people I know can say lately so 3:30 is looking like an awesome hour for my alarm to go off.....
Getting out of work early is nice, but prying one's body out of bed in the winter at that hour makes me twitch.
