"I'm Thankful that I'm not a Turkey"

11.28.2011

...said my cousin on Thanksgiving when she was about 6 years old.

On Thanksgiving morning Marissa and I, along with over 3,000 others, ran in the Garden City Turkey Trot.. a 5 mile run through town that raises money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Before that day I had never run 5 miles in my LIFE. The most I've ever run before that day was around 3 miles and that was at least a year ago. I seriously do not understand how I finished that race. I ran the whole thing! And I didn't get sick in the middle of it which is what I was expecting to happen. It's pretty unbelievable how much a crowd of people cheering can help your endurance.

After the race we got on the road to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. Mmm. I love my Aunt Sarah's Thanksgiving dinner.

Other than not being a Turkey, I am thankful for..
my boyfriend, family and friends, my Boo dog, the fact that I didn't pass out in the middle of the Turkey Trot, Aunt Sarah's insanely delicious mashed sweet potatoes that taste like candy, all the great people I've met through this blog, my wonderful etsy customers, and harry potter.

Harry Potter.. that brings me to what I've been doing lately. I've been soo, so so busy with orders which is wonderful. Yesterday I made, packed and sent 18 orders all the while listening to Harry Potter movies playing in the background. I listened to the 4th movie twice in a row because I didn't realize the movie ended and it just started replaying. Today will be the same.. and probably tomorrow and the day after that.. I love it.

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!
