TGIBF

 Oh, hello, there...

I successfully managed to maintain a plans-free Thanksgiving yesterday and it sure was lovely.  In the morning I went to the gym to see the crazy people, always entertaining, the twice-than-normal-size crowd that shows up on Turkey Day, most of them already so sickly thin I get worried someone's going to pass out.  Alas, no collapsing, and I headed to Gladstone for a cup of coffee, before my BFF came over and we embarked on a Portland Minute, driving all over town looking at what was open.  We almost ended up at the Jolly Roger but thought better of that and bailed.  Then we almost accidentally signed ourselves up for the prix fixe dinner at Country Cat, but bailed on that as well since we really just wanted a snack.  It looked amazing, though.  Ended up having some jambalaya, salad, and spicy mac down the way at Roscoe's, before locking ourselves in my apartment and watching beaucoup TV with my fancy new toy... the Roku!  Hours later, I got hungry and whipped up a Thanksgiving-ish meal, not totally complete, but not a bad attempt at a last-minute thing.  Capped off the evening with the Beyonce TV special, which totally ruled. 

I have been saying for months that all I wanted to do for Thanksgiving was see Burlesque, but we never made it off of the couch to do so.  Successful 'do nothing' day.

I have more things to be Thankful for than I can count, separate post needed...
