Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[Molested.Peach. (cky)]

I just want to say happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it; I hope you didn't eat as much as I did. Lol I gained at least 10 pounds.

I had to work today. It sucked to cause they kept me late when I wanted to go home and be with my family. Did I just say that. Work so hard to move out that I want to see them. *faints*

I spent the day at a batallion Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of wives who all miss their husbands.

I didn't stuff my face like most years. Maybe my husband should go away more often....

[Dragonslayer4ever]

Oh where is he stationed at. I wanted to join up in the navy to be a seal but my bad knee prevents that one from happening. Now I am stuck at walmart.

I should note that last year my thanksgiving sucked. I spent all damn day cooking and everyone we invited didn't show up, or showed up extremely late when I was too tired to give a damn if their food was warm.

I think I ate too much. *dies*

I cooked a few dishes to take to my mom's. It's my first time doing that because she always makes everything. After cooking all morning and burning myself about 4 times on the oven, cleaning up the mess.. I sat down and thought, this is what Thanksgiving is like for the woman of the house? This sucks.. . I shared that thought with my mom and aunts and they laughed, and laughed.. Apparently I had discovered the well kept secret. I'll enjoy the years to come until I'm the matriarch of the family. Putting that dinner together is alot harder then it looks.

Chrissy: It depends how much you cook. Even a large meal of a group of people isn't that harder than something for yourself. It's just more time consuming and involved. (Example: Most people think a proper roast dinner is a hard meal to cook. It's one of the simplest things ever!)

(oh, and yes, I'm the young male who CAN cook. And is housetrained. Any takers? =P)

All you greedy americans, with your holiday which involves eating and nothing else... =P

[Chrissy]

Can cook and is house trained? I'll take it. lol. It's wasn't technicaly hard, I've made more elaborate meals, it was just time consuming and getting burnt was painful and agravating. But of course well worth it and rewarding and all those nice things.....

I'd like to add though, on a more serious note, I am truly greatful for the fact that we had food to put on the table, and that we had a home to eat it in. I'm constantly aware that others are not able to do that and it breaks my heart and I help in anyway I can every opportunity I get to make life easier for other humans.

Us complaining about being to full and burnt hands is just in jest. Yeah, it wasn't fun, lol, but I think many of us know that's nothing compared to real issues. Complaining is all in good fun.

This year thanksgiving brought in the extra bonus of being my birthday.

*sigh* I wish I could gain weight. In the past 4 years I actually lost 3 pounds. I am now 122 lbs (after thanksgiving). This gives me a grand total of -44 lbs under the national average (I'm 5' 10") My weight doesn't even qualify me as a small frame kind of a person. I have a very nice 6% body fat. Which is below "very low" in accordance to this online calculator i just went to. It's not even like I don't eat. I love eating. It's probably one of my most favorite things to do. There is nothing like going to the store buying a pound or two of cookie dough and just spending the rest of the day eating it. And don't even get me started on the tastiness of meat.

(People say "your metabolism will catch up with you one day"; so I say "stop wasting my time and let me enjoy it while it's here")

EDIT:(In Regards to body fat) "The difference is highly dependent upon the specific sport or activity. Athletes competing in sports where body weight is at least partially supported in the environment, such as diving, swimming or rowing, tend to have higher levels of body fat."

I am the captain of the swim team. Take that science

Random Fact: You burn more calories typing at the computer then you do having sex.

Happy Thanksgiving...yes.

[Mavsfan911]

Where's that calculator that determines the percent of body fat?
