Happy Turkey Day!

So its Thanksgiving and you know what that means...family, friends, food and thankfulness. Now I traveled to the ATL for this Turkey day celebration to spend time with the extended fam. Good times and good food, let me tell ya...homemade macaroni and cheese, collard greens, ham, friend turkey, red velvet cake, sweet potato pie, potato salad, the works! Gotta love a family get together. And after dinner of course there was dancing...it just wouldn't be my family otherwise. Its times like today that remind me of who my people are (my family roots that is) and where I came from. Its nice to have that reminder every now and again since I'm so far removed from them. And my little cousins are the cutest! I'm thankful for family get-togethers.

And on an unrelated note, I was thinking about the movie "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days" on the plane yesterday and how it is a testament to how hard you have to work to make a relationship work. I mean, here you have Kate Hudson trying desperately to be the most annoying girlfriend in history, and Matthew McConaughey determined to make her fall in love with him. He puts up with her craziness (albeit for a bet) and in the end she really falls in love with him. He didn't give up at the first sign of difficulty, but toughed it out with her and let me remind you, they had some really great times along the way (remember BULL$%@# at his parents house on Staten Island??) Anyway, I was just thinking about that and how a lot of people these days seem to have forgotten the hard work it requires to make a relationship work. Ah well...

Oh, another question...what would you do if you felt yourself beginning to develop feelings for a close friend of the opposite sex? I've been in this situation before in college, and didn't quite handle the situation expertly (I tend to get stupidhead when I like a guy, which means I get all girlie and awkward, which you can read on my face and body language from a mile away). I'm not, by any means, a master of these situations, but I ran into this friend's twin brother the other day and it reminded me of this, so naturally, I thought I'd share.

Random thoughts...please share yours. And hope you had a happy turkey day! Gobble gobble!
