Thanksgiving! WTF?

Can you freaking believe Thanksgiving is in TWO DAYS? I'm so excited. It's proably my favorite holiday. Though I do have a soft spot for Valentine's, despite my turbulent history with it...and my terminal singleness...it's still awesome!

I've barely unpacked my suitcase from Baltimore and I'm about to pack it again, as soon as my clothes are dry. I love travelling and vacations and driving, so it's all very exciting. I'm pretty sure this is going to be the most decadent, wonderful, fun, amazing Thanksgiving EVER. I just wish my mommy could come down to NC with Megan and I :( It'll be my first Thanksgiving without her. Meep.

I so can't wait for Thursday. I'm spending all day long in the kitchen with my sister (who is, for those who don't know, a TRAINED CHEF) - just me & her, making some dinner. I've never had such a heavy hand in the creation of Thanksgiving dinner, so I'm pretty sure it'll be the most badass day of my life. Meg called last night so we could go over the menu...and good GOD. We're having foie gras along with the turkey, first of all, which is VERY exciting - and she's going to do this butter/pancetta/sage mix thing and rub it under the skin of the turkey before baking...or something. So it's going to be a vaguely Italian themed menu. We're also doing a sweet potato suffle with gruyere cheese. And I can't even remember everything else we said. It's going to be so amazing!

In other news, I went ahead and e-mailed a resume/cover letter to The Shakespeare Theatre in DC - there are two jobs available for Feb 19thish through May 30thish (Assistant Director and Directorial Assistant...fun with semantics). Steven's still not giving me any answers about Yoder so I'm just trying to keep putting myself out there so I'll at least have the possibility of other options, even if it doesn't pan out. If that makes sense. Tamara had sent me the e-mail about these opportunities a couple weeks ago, so...we'll see.

Off to pack!
