Thanksgiving Funnies!

Hey Everyone, 

I'm taking this week off to focus on Thanksgiving. Wish I could post more, but I just started a new job and I've got a lot of cooking to fit into my schedule. I hope everyone has a wonderful, happy, and safe holiday! Here are some fun holiday images for you. Hope they make you smile. I'll be back next week.

Follow Friday: Favorite Thanksgiving Food! (Yea!)

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers -- but you have to know -- the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

What's your favorite Thanksgiving Day food?

I think I gotta go with the pies! I usually contribute side dishes and desserts to the family dinner. (Our family dinners include 30+ people). I did the classic banana and chocolate cream, plus my famous pumpkin desert. I've never been big on pumpkin pie. (Yes, throw tomatoes if you must) Having a sweet tooth, I just need sweeter things in order to consider them a real desert, so I made up my own pumpkin desert recipe, and the entire fam loves it! It's a layer of graham cracker crust, a cream cheese layer over that, and then the pumpkin/pudding layer. Basically it's vanilla pudding, flavored with pumpkin puree, and heavy on the spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. So, it's a sweet and spicy pumpkin desert, cooled by the cream cheese, and it's a huge hit! That's what's in the square pan. And then there's the peanut butter cream pie. That's actually different this year. I usually contribute a peanut-butter pie, but I used a different recipe this year.

So, what's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Thoughts for Thursday: Thanksgiving Edition

Source

Thoughts for Thursday is a feature hosted by Musings on Fantasia and LKHill.  In this meme, we share thoughts or quotes that we know or have recently come across. Each week there is a specific subject or theme. These can be quotes from books, quotes by famous people, (quotes by YOU, perhaps ;D). Anything from anywhere is game, though we do ask that you keep your quote to a few sentences at most. Don't quote, for example, entire passages of a book or essay. These can be funny quips, cool sayings, hair-raising antidotes, movie lines, any kind of quote you can think of!

Just have fun, collect awesome sayings by awesome people, and try to be inspired!

Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of this feature! Here are some great thoughts on the holiday. Feel free to chime in with your own! I'd love to hear'em! :D (For even more quotes, visit my other blog.)

Hump Day Humor + NaNo Updates

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all having a great week! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving (A-whoo-hoo!) and I'm baking up a storm, but looking forward to this great holiday with the family!

So, three orders of business today:

1) NaNo Updates. I'm at 46,453 words in November, which puts me at 60,147 words for my novel overall. I've written 15 out of 23 chapters, and have three days to write 3,547 words. Will the book be done at 50, 000 words? Um...no. Even I can't get through eight chapters in 3,500 words. I'm thinking will be more in the 70,000-90,000 range, but by the time November is over, I'll have most of it. (Yippee!)

2) Here's some Hump Day Humor to get you through to Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

I bet he only eats 'Dark' meat!

3) Looking for some great Thanksgiving stories? A couple of years ago now, one of my stories (a true one, as it were) was accepted for a Thanksgiving anthology called Thanksgiving Tales, edited by Brian Jaffe. You can find both the print and kindle versions HERE on Amazon, and Amazon prime members can read it for free. I make no money on the sale, but have read most of the stories in it myself, and they range from funny to touching. My story, if anyone is interested, is called Hill vs. Hill vs. Hill. It chronicles our yearly family football game. Let's just say, hilarity generally ensues.

Anyway, I'll be doing a Thanksgiving edition of Thoughts for Thursday tomorrow, but I know plenty of people will be off the net, so if you won't be online tomorrow, let me wish you the Happiest of Thanksgiving holidays!

Cheers!

Will you be online on Thanksgiving Day?
