thanksgiving 2011

thankful thoughts

cake

baking attempt...frosted pumpkin delight.  it's ok. the cream cheese frosting saved it from the whole wheat flour i used.  do not try to make unhealthy foods somewhat healthy...not worth it.  if i could do it again, i would use white flour and another stick of butter.  good thing i have a cooking expert in my life for guidance- a one mrs tracy bennett.

georgia going to the SEC championship and not being blind

barely scraping by with a win over kentucky but i will take it.  UGA is going to the SEC championship this year....probably against LSU....yikes.  i am thankful for the W today nonetheless.  

i am not grateful for the $81.50 jimmy johns sandwich that i had for lunch today.  $6.50 for the beach club sandwich, hold the mayo.  $75 to get the boot off of my car that i received in the 4 minutes that it took to order the sandwich.  a boot?  really?  so dramatic atlanta.  but that's not the point of this blog.  moments later, i saw a blind man walking down the street and decided to be grateful for not being blind rather than pissed off at the jerkstore that gave me the ticket.  there.

band of horses pandora

this station is hands down the best pandora channel.  i listen to music all day at my desk so i quickly burn through albums and am always looking for new stuff.  sometimes i'm just expired, tired of my rotation and too busy to stop and pick out an artist.  enter pandora.  everyone knows the greatness of this online radio site but there are definitely some days that i exhaust my song skips and can't quite find what i want. although i would say i am never not in the mood for the band of horses channel.  thank you for being so reliable.  too many favorites but will leave you with this one.

madewell

my absolute favorite clothing store is madewell.  complete love of this style.  jcrew's sister store for the downtown girl.  jcrew is more uptown.  and it's not crazy popular, so you don't find people with the same stuff.  (shhh don't tell everyone.....)  in the middle of the firestorm of work-related emails today, i received this one "prepare your closets....your madewell order has shipped."  ahhh.....good news for the day.
