Kyle and I had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving at home this year. We were both recovering from the flu, so we really just wanted to stay home. Plus, my thesis is due next week, so I really wanted to stay home and focus over the long weekend.
Staying home didn’t prevent us from eating some delicious food:
This was actually my first year cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I made yams, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts and and a Tofurky (I didn’t actually make the Tofurky, I sort of just threw it in the oven… Although, Kyle did baste it, which was a nice addition). The Torfurky came stuffed with a wild rice stuffing, which I thought looked a bit dubious, but it was actually delicious! Everything turned out really great. We also had some unpictured homemade pumpkin pie. We ate way too much and were full for several hours – even after we took a long walk. Good thing Thanksgiving only comes once a year!

I want to go to bed and watch the History of England (I’m at the American Revolution!!!), but I thought I ought to post pics from Halloween before it’s too late.
We had a lovely time with the Peeps (Ashley and Devin).
We ate lots of good food, drank sangria (and a wee bit of scotch), and carved pumpkins.
Ash made the cutest zebra:
Devin carrying a bowl full of pumpkin goo. He made the most delicious roasted pumpkin seeds!
From left to right: Ashley’s pretty flower and star, Kyle’s mini emoticon, Devin’s scary face, my Jack Skellington wannabe.
Mine didn’t light up too well, but that’s okay – it was lots of fun!

I have so many things I have been wanting to post about, but alas, I have no time. I do apparently have time to buy things though…
I spotted this necklace from J. Crew several months ago when I was looking for a necklace to wear to my friend’s wedding. However, I wasn’t willing to fork out $58 for it. On a whim, I checked the sale section this morning, and can you believe it – it was on sale for $19.99! It’s already on its way to the house!
