Turkey Day is upon us, how glorious!

Ahh tis a time to give thanks for all that we have but more recently, its a time to eat like everything in site like a Hoover vacuum, watch TV for hours on end and then on the Friday after Thanksgiving, to wake up before the sun comes up to wait in line for those oh so special Thanksgiving Day sales.

This routine has been completed by yours truly for a number of years and I doubt that this year will be any different. Although the shopping part might since my wife was stuck with office watching duty on Friday. I think that every time I've gone out on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I never end up actually buying anything. There are so many things that I want but can't buy because its too close to Christmas and someone might get it for me. This years Christmas list is pretty short and the stuff I'm asking for is mostly under $40. There are of course some exceptions like the uber large hard drive I want to do backups of my computer and store all my precious media files on, and of course there are the games for my Xbox 360 like Gears of War that I had the chance to try out at the mall last night or Rainbow 6 Las Vegas which also looks pretty good. I'm hoping to get done with Need for Speed by this weekend so I can have something new to play soon.

As for Thanksgiving itself, I'm going to be spending it here in Florida with my in-laws. I would go up to CT to visit my mom but we would probably end up eating out since buying a turkey for 2 people doesn't seem to make much sense and also because I'm not much of a turkey eating person, I claim the ham during most Thanksgiving meals as well as any potato based product that happens to pass under my nose. My sister-in-law is preparing the turkey a little different this year. I'm not going to say how until the day of Thanksgiving and after I've had my share before I report on what exactly was done. Needless to say its definitely going to be interesting and different.

Since its the day before Thanksgiving, I'll probably think of something else to blog about while I'm at the office or maybe I'll go shopping for gifts for my wife. Happy Thanksgiving my people!
