Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving is here! I love Thanksgiving! What could be better than celebrating with the four F's family, friends, food, and football? I am so bummed that I won't be home but I am lucky enough to be going to the Thanksgiving gala dinner at school that night! 


Thanksgiving also brings Black Friday. I am not a Black Friday shopper unless there is something I really need or has a great discount. I've bought cameras, a GPS, movies, books, and shoes on Black Friday but I do not go out at midnight or earlier to shop. Once I start making money and have a family I may give it a try but for right now I don't have that many presents to buy so I am content going and relaxing instead of stressing about being able to get it and deal with crowds. 


Here are a few links for those of you who are planning on doing some Black Friday shopping but haven't done much research.

So this weekend I got a great care package from my parents! It was HUGE and had so much good stuff in it. I got Homemade Pumpkin Cookies, Franks Hot Sauce, Kraft Greek Dressing, Ken's Caesar Dressing, Mini Hersey's Cookies & Cream Chocolate Bars, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Sponge Candy and so much more! I was SO excited! I just love getting care packages! I finally dug into the Cheez-Its Bob's mom sent a few weeks ago and they were so good. I ate them slowly and enjoyed every one because I knew once they were gone I couldn't just go to the store and get more. 


I am a junk food lover and it has been tough living without it but SO much better for my body. I have lost a few pounds since I got here and I am working hard at getting toned. Today I made a 3 egg omelet with mushrooms and red peppers. It was so delicious. It was just as enjoyable as junk food but much healthier. I always feel so much better about myself when I eat something healthy. I am hoping to continue down this healthy path when I get back to the states. Bob might not be thrilled at first but since I do all the cooking & grocery shopping he will have to learn to like it! (Love you babe ;) 


Well readers that is all for now I have a running date to head off to so that is all for today. 


Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving if i don't write again before Thursday. Good luck to all you Black Friday shoppers too, get me something good! haha
