Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving Day and my husband and I have just finished enjoying some pumpkin pie. I got out of bed before Justin so that I could make the pie for him. I hadn't really planned on making pie but there weren't any frozen ones when I went shopping last weekend. Since I'm Miss Suzy Homemaker these days I figured why not go for it. I ended up with two pies instead of one so Justin will be taking one to work with him tomorrow. I watched the Macy's parade while waiting for Justin to roll out of bed. When he finally did wake up, we enjoyed a late breakfast of bacon and eggs. Once we saw Santa safely arrive (thank goodness my husband humors me), we flipped the channel to the Lions game. It was amazing to see the Lions finally win a Thanksgiving Day game for the first time in 10 years. While we watched the game I peeled potatoes and snapped green beans. I decided to make just a turkey breast roast, which I've done in the past, since it was just the two of us. We had all the fixings to go along with it though and it was amazing.

In other news, I'm still unemployed. At this point, I'm holding off the search until we get back from vacation.

And speaking of vacation, we're on our way soon! We booked all of our excursions and I think I'm most looking forward to lying in a hammock on the beach with a good book and a good drink. I'll be sure to update when we get back and tell you all about it.

A couple of weekends ago I met up with some gals at the Savannah Food & Wine Festival. It was a little chaotic trying to find everyone but it all worked out in the end. A few of us ended up splitting off from the group. It was very crowded, making it hard to keep track of everyone. Anyway, for the price of admission, you received a wine glass for unlimited wine tasting, and five food tokens. It was a lot of fun just walking the square and tasting what Savannah had to offer. I wish we would have had more of an opportunity to get to know one another but it was a nice time overall and I'm very glad I went. One of the girls and I stopped at the macaroon shop on our way out. I couldn't recall if I had ever had a macaroon, and if I had, it had been a long time. I bought half a dozen and they were all amazing. I will definitely be stopping there again when Justin and I are downtown.

Well, we're about the finish off our Thanksgiving evening with a movie so I will talk to you all again soon.
