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 :-)

My Big Fat Disney World Recap!

Here I am, better late than never, with my Disney World recap! I can't tell you how many people welcomed us home with the question "did you get engaged?" It must have been set in their mind that Kurt would propose to me on Main Street...or in front of the Tree of Life...or in front of the Epcot ball....or while we dropped 13 stories on the Tower of Terror. Engagement or not, we had THE best 10 days in the entire world!

Don't worry, I won't go day by day of what we did...everyone likes more pictures anyway, right! But honestly...Disney World is SO beautiful this time of year because the parks all decorate for Christmas!

We went to Disney from November 7th to the 16th, and as you know, ran our half marathon on November 9th! We talked about whether we wanted to do our race at the beginning or at the end of our trip. It took about .02 seconds to decide we didn't want to stress over it the whole week so we did it first! I am so glad we did.

For the first three days of our trip, we stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Hotel which is a very nice resort that we've stayed in before. However our ideal location when we go to Disney is the Epcot resorts (yacht/beach club and Boardwalk) because you can walk or take a boat to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Primo! But because the Caribbean Beach was a race host resort, we stayed there to ensure transportation to the race! After our three nights there, we actually moved to the Boardwalk Hotel right by Epcot and Hollywood Studios! It is a beautiful place, don't you think? :-)

Our first few days of Disney we actually spent with Kurt's older sister Janine who was down there at the same time as us which was a lot of fun! We spent some of the days at the parks with her and went to some dinners together!

I think you all know how much Kurt and I love Disney World. He grew up going there, I grew up going there and it just makes us so happy. The planning, the parks, the rides, the magic, the food--it's absolutely magical! I always try and convince people, especially adults, that it is as just as fun for adults to go as it is for kids. We always go crazy when we go to Disney. We save up for months so we eat at  as many different restaurants as we can, buy things and just let loose! Disney just makes us feel 7 years old again.

I'd also like to tell you all that this particular trip, we met a LOT of characters :-) Kurt was SOO excited about this let me tell you! Let's take a look, shall we?! Every Minnie loved Kurt, by the way.

Oh how I LOVE meeting characters! It seriously is a blast....they are SO funny! Especially when you think about the people playing them and how they must feel. I saw a little boy try to rip off poor Mickey's nose and a little girl try to grab Pluto's ear. hahaha!! It's also amazing how in character the real life characters are (not the costumed ones). The princesses talk just like they do in the movies, and Gaston...ohhh he was absolutely hilarious!

We went to all four parks, multuple times, and even took a teeeeensy trip to Universal Studios while we were there because, why not?! I can never decide which park I love the best, as I love them all, but if I had to choose, the Magic Kingdom---I mean, that's what everyone thinks of when they think Disney World!

I could go on and on about Disney, y'all know that right?! :-) I do wanna save one last piece for later this week, which is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party! Let me just say, it snows on Main Street. IT SNOWS! :-)
