BFE or Bust!

This will probably be my last entry until after the new year because I am going to be busy visiting relatives, celebrating Christmas, and GOING TO EGYPT!!! Yes after more than 5 years of really wanting to go see Egypt I am finally going to make it there. I won't actually be in BFE (Bum Fuck Egypt, as the saying goes) but I thought it made for a cute title. Well actually I am going horseback riding in a little village, so maybe I will see BFE briefly. Many of my friends and family are worried about me traveling half way around the world to a third world country that has been hit with terrorism lately and I appreciate there concern. I am also thankful to have some very supportive friends and family who know what it is like to seek adventure, follow your dreams and not let the terrorists win! See you when I get back, or if I die then you will see me in your dreams and dancing along the light of day!!! If I die, be sure to share my blog with my family, they haven't read it yet. I will share stories and pictures when I return.

Thanksgiving

Well, I have been so busy, I haven't gotten around to posting in a very long time. Thanksgiving in my favorite holiday and this year it was my responsibility to cook the meal. I was lucky we even got the chance to have a meal this year. The majority of my family work somewhere within the medical profession and so many times they have to work on the holidays. Since everyone was working long shifts on thanksgiving or the day prior to it. That left me to be in charge. I finally learned how to cook a turkey at the age of 30. I have only started to feel like a true adult the last couple of years of my life because my family often make me feel like a child, whether they are aware of that fact or not. Any way, I found out that Thanksgiving dinner does not have to be a huge production and source of stress as some people make it out to be. I think that a huge gathering might cause some of that, but whatever the reason I vow to never let that happen to me. I don't think Thanksgiving was meant to be or should be a burden. I observed too much production, stress, and all day labor and hunger through my former stepfamilies Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. My family and I had a nice dinner minus my brother, he was working and I missed him a lot. He is a good cook and I hope he will be at my side helping next year.
