Happy Thanksdrinking

Dear Friends, Compadres, Amigos,

I hope you are all splayed out on your couches, bear rugs or counter tops laden with thanksgiving child. You know, the mashed potato, tryptophan, jellied cranberries, green bean cassa-whoa, pumpkin pie baby in your belly thanksgiving child. So what are you thankful for?

Have you saved money this year? Did you remember to pre-party before you went to the bars? Did you remember not to want the beer too much, so that hottie at the end of the bar bought it for you before you gave in to your alcoholism? Maybe you are thankful for the Tuesday night movies? They are cheaper than the regular movies after all.

What am I thankful for? I'm thankful that I don't have to spend Thanksgiving alone. Despite the fact that I had to work this glorious Thanksgiving morning (which by the way is actually pretty clutch, because you get double time and everyone is nicer to you because they feel bad that you have to work on Turkey Day), my sister decided to drive up to Santa Barbara to spend this joyous holiday with me.

By 4:15pm we each had a glass of pinot noir in our hands, had the turkey breast (hey there were only two of us) in the oven, potatoes boiling and green beans prepped and ready to go. The cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie (homemade, obviously) were in the fridge and we were fast on our way to our first duo-ass-kicking thanksgiving meal.

We laughed, we cried-- ok mainly me when I downed my cold medicine with my glass of wine and I laughed so hard I cried, because everything Dav said sounded funny. What am I saying? Was funny. Obviously. Anyways, I just wanted to write a blog in honor of this glorious holiday. I mean it does promote saving after all. Well, really all holidays. Any occasion that promotes togetherness is a big winner, because I think we all know that more is less.

Example: Costco.

Over and out. Jildo

P.S. Daverede mentioned that in my alcohol laden state I may want to save and proof read at a later date. But you know what I say? No, dear friends, I will give you this post with no corrections or amendments, because.... Wait for it... It's going to be... Legen... Wait for it... Wait for it... Dary!
