Thanksgiving day blues

So, I finally came to the conclusion that living away from home makes holidays more expensive then living near the folks. Realizing I am working on Thanksgiving and Christmas, I have to buy cards and flowers for my loved ones at home. While I love giving to those I love, I would rather enjoy their company and cooking. Hmmmm.... no overtime pay, no good food, and paying out to send flowers and cards. It would be much better if I could stuff myself silly with delicious Turkey, stuffing, salads, and pies, and send flowers as more of a surprise rather then obligation! Hmmm... good thing my family doesn't read this blog!!!! :)

The moral of the story: Nothing substitutes for time spent with family and friends, and that is what thanksgiving is all about!
