Thanksgiving

12/10/13

So I'm not really sure what Thanksgiving is supposed to be but it worked out bloody well for me. On Saturday I went to visit Pam, Mitch and Luke out at Abbotsford. A friend of Pams, Jackie, and her son, Darnell, also came over and we had an awesome Turkey that Pam cooked. Then on Sunday I decided that I probably needed to make more room for Turkey so went for a hike up Hollyburn. That night I went to the Fishers in Port Coquitlam for more Turkey. In attendance was Brandon, Lisa, Bryn, Cody, Kylie, Pete, Renee and David. One highlight was the awesome wee cake turkey lolly pops Bryn made:

On Monday I needed to make more room for Turkey so I went for a run up Mt Seymore. I went real fast and was pretty tired when I got to the top. Pretty nice day:

On the way down I ran too fast. When I got to the car I was so tired that I forgot I had sat my 3 month old Galaxy S4 on the roof which decided that 80km/h was a good speed to jump off and try and commit suicide. Luckily I heard a clatter, also luckily I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the car behind swerve to miss something on the road. I then realised that something was my phone and quickly retrieved it (it was lying in the middle of the road and luckily another couple of cars missed it). Miraculously it still worked but had a badly cracked screen. With a bit of research I found I could order a new screen for it for $200. Yay, just throw money at problems until they go away!

For dinner I went for my third and final Thanksgiving dinner at Kattys in Lougheed. In attendance was Katty, Emma, Ben, Ann, Jono, Ahndra and Robyn. For dessert Jono had stolen his "downstairs neighbours" cheese cake which was incredible. After dinner we played a hilarious game that is a cross between pictionary and Chinese whispers. You pick a thing out of the hat and try and draw it in a book, then you pass it to the next person who tries to guess what it is, the person after that then tries to draw what the last person guessed and you do that until you get your book back. Hilarity ensues. Especially if you are like me and can't draw to save your own life. How the hell do you draw Cauliflower anyway?

So I think my first Thanksgiving weekend was pretty successful. I would love to know how many calories I ate. I also seemed to always be the last one eating but I just told everyone that I had a lot of thanksgiving dinners to make up for. Thanks so much to everyone that took me in!
