Thanksgiving!

The Curious Stanley Pup

One year ago today I was in Amsterdam with some friends eating all you can eat ribs at a bar near our hotel. The weather was so frigid cold I only took my Flip camera out long enough to video the holiday lights strung up between buildings. I sorely missed green bean casserole and baked sweet potatoes! In addition to being thankful for the family, loves and other close friends, here are some things that come to mind - serious and silly:

Dessert at Mangiamo! for my 21st, back in September

• Finally being of age to enjoy a drink with dinner. This means discovering new places to eat downtown. Yum!
• New winter fragrance worthy scents a la Bond No. 9. Astor Place has replaced my Chance by Chanel that I had been using every fall since 2007.
• New cozy comforter that fits my bed. Perfect for hibernating.

With Gannon after his regional championship game

• My brother &dad are back in good health. They both went through some rough times earlier this year and I couldn't be more happy that they are well.
• New friends and dinner parties
• Loving my roommates and my new home. I'm especially thankful for our subleaser, Diane [2 in one house, oh my]. She's amazing, and apparently my sister according to a stranger we encountered on my birthday:

Halloween 2k10

• Working as a fashion marketing intern at Leigh's, a specialty store in GR. I'm currently working on a fun mannequin project that can be followed here.
• On track to graduate from university next semester! This is still quite a bit frightening to me.
• Changes!

Conan is back!

&Now, to begin my Thanksgiving eating marathon! Cheers!
