Happy Belated Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I went over to the BF's house. His brother and his brother's family were visiting from out of town, so I got to meet them. They were all very nice. I even helped in the kitchen. I think he's slowly trying to teach me to cook so that I'll cook for him. Right now he does all the cooking, and I think that's just fine!

I am vegetarian. However, I'm going to try to take it a step further and make the move to veganism. We'll see how that goes. Ridding cheese from my diet will be a hurdle for me. But the milk, eggs and butter will be easy (except for baked goods/ desserts), as I've never much cared for them anyway. There are amazing advancements out there in terms of finding substitutions, so as long as I don't get lazy and do my research, I should be fine. I'm doing this for dietary and ethical reasons. Also, going veg really helped clear up my complexion, but I still have break-outs after I eat dairy, so I'm hoping my face will really clear up and glow if I go vegan.

Saw the Twilight sequel, "New Moon". It was great, loved it. That whole series is my guilty pleasure. I need to read the last book, but someone told me what happened in it (even after I asked them not to- booo!), so I really lost my motivation to read it now. Anyway, my sister and I made t-shirts. I messed up my iron-on letters (long story), so my shirt just says "Team Ed" instead of "Team Edward". After watching the movie, though, my sister and I thought about switching shirts. Jacob was just so hot, warm and charming. He really was good for Bella, and I started to switch alliances. And my sister didn't want to wear "Team Jacob" anymore after she found out that the actor is only 17 years old. She felt like a pedo lusting after his body and wearing that shirt! After she told me his real age, I decided to stay on Team Edward. Choosing any team and liking the movies are slightly childish, yes. But at least gunning for Edward doesn't feel so pervy!

I know making t-shirts seems a little extra, but we found the shirts at the $.99 store and we had the iron-on letters hanging around, so why not? A pic of our shirts (we look kinda blobby because we're pulling down the shirts so you can read the letters):

  1. I saw that movie today. I felt bad for poor Jacob. He seemed way cooler than Eddy.

  2. Monsieur Funches: Agreed! Waaay cooler. He'd make a much better boyfriend.

  3. Perfect the blow job and then you will hold all of the cards and never be expected to cook, clean or do anything else your little heart doesn't desire.

    Sadly, I can't comment on "Twilight" b/c I have never read a book from the series or watched a movie. I feel so socially irrelevant.

  4. Ha ha, Kara! You are so right. I've gotten lazy in that department... I should work on my technique... and I don't mean my sauteeing technique!

    Don't waste your time on the "Twilight" series. There isn't anything there you haven't seen before... it's just slightly (or a lot) more trite than the literature the plots are ripped from. But it's fun! Remember how much we used to love the V.C. Andrews series? It's on that level.

  5. "but at least gunning for Edward doesn't feel so pervy" you are so wrong for that. I'm trading our shirts when you aren't looking.

    Speaking of V.C. Andrews there is a book out by a Jezabel columnist about all those type books that grown women still have on their shelves (Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, etc.) it's a fun read from the bits I read in the library.

  6. Ha ha, Booga. Just because I don't wear the Jacob shirt doesn't mean I wasn't drooling over him... so yeah, I'm still a perve. You know me and my Lolitos (a la the Albertson's bag boy).

    I'd love to peruse that Jezebel editor's book... you'll have to give me the title!
