That time I didn't blog for a week!

Knock Knock little blog!

Who’s there?

Erica

Erica Who?

Erica the writer of this blog!

Erica…who?

For real guys, I honestly just needed a hot minute away from blogging! Maybe it was that work suddenly went crazy busy? Or maybe it was just because I suddenly became absolutely addicted to watching The Walking Dead and doing nothing else? Well in any case, I’m back!

It feels good to be typing again in this space. I wish I had something so cool to share, like, I got engaged or I’m pregnant with quintuplets, or I’m suddenly nominated for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Speaking of which, did you see how a bunch of important global people are nominated, and amongst those, Miley Cyrus? Go girl!

I've feasted on a variety of things....no joke. I went to look through my phone pictures over the last week or so and the majority was food! When in Rome, right? Or....when winter comes and it's freezing, eat lots and lots.

Other than that, it's Christmas crunch time! Time to buckle down and BUY ALL THE GIFTS! Also, it's time to suffer panic attacks at the mall with crazed, enraged shoppers looking to get the latest deals on Yankee Candles, Clarisonics and Hunter Boots (I've seen it!!)

Happy Tuesday pretty people!

Gobble till you Wobble...or twerk!

Tomorrow is the day. 

Tomorrow is the day I will face plant into stuffing. 

Tomorrow is the day I will eat the delicious crispy skin of a turkey. 

Tomorrow is the day I will eat many other things. 

Tomorrow is also the day I will wear leggings.

Last year for Thanksgiving I made these rice krispie turkeys. How cute are they?

They also got drunk off of Sambuca!

I don't know what it is about Thanksgiving, but being in my home I grew up in just makes me feel all warm and happy! I know it's cliche, but really, what's better than being around your family with the most amazing smells wafting from the kitchen and just being able to relax and eat food? Needless to say, I am SO excited :-) 

Now that I've gone all Danielle Steele on you guys, let me introduce you to this video that's been circulating my Facebook feed. If this isn't inspiration to wake your ass up the morning after Thanksgiving and work that tushy, I don't know WHAT is! PS. I first heard this song in a club one night in Boston and I was like damn...I just want to booty drop to this (so I may have...) but these girls just trump it! And it's choreographed. What could be better?

Warning. Lots of sexy bootys in booty shorts.

Well on that note, I'm off to twerk my way out of work early into the kitchen to bake a chocolate cake and get prepared for tonight's festivities! Every year the night before Thanksgiving my girlfriends and I do a lil bar crawl. It's kind of a "thing" around here! Is that common where you are all from as well?! I'm excited! :-)

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate! I am so thankful for so many things including all of you guys who keep coming back here to see what sort of jibber jabber comes out of my mouth. Have the most amazing day in the world!

When you're drunk in front of your significant other

We've all been there, haven't we? Unless of course you don't drink which is completely A-Okay! But if you do....you've been there! Is this a good time for me to tell you guys that story about when Kurt got so drunk one night in college with me, he puked in a plastic grocery bag and then swung it around his head, spinnin' it like a helicopter Petey Pablo style?

I can't tell you how many times Kurt has either taken a photo or me or recorded a video of my jibber jabber when I've had a bit too much to drink. One night we went to a mexican place for dinner, I had a few margs and apparently did Zumba in our driveway. Another night I think I laughed so hard trying to explain something to Kurt that I just couldn't put into words what I actually wanted to say. Oy Vey...

The other day I came across a video that I must have watched 10 times because it was just so cute and funny. This guy recorded his drunken wife telling him a really silly joke, and then made the joke, using her voice/joke into an animation. I just HAVE to share it with you guys! I picture this woman laying down on the couch with her empty wine glass trying to explain this joke to her husband.

Hope this brightens up your Tuesday :-)
