post-thanksgiving thanksgiving dinner

today is sunday, november 29.

wow that means its only 12 days until my early 20's are DEAD. forever. i talked to matt about it, and he says i cant make myself a cake, it would be way too sad. so can i buy myself a cake? im not even gunna ask him; a gurls gotta eat some cake on her bday and ill do it in secret shameful aloneness if i have to. and i will be so sad on my birthday because i am all alone, but then i will eat a whole cake all to myself and be totally stoked cause i dont have to share. but then ill be sad again cause ill feel like a fat ass. but then ill be happy cause i will read all the nice birthday letters my friends have sent me (hint hint)!!!!

last night i went to a thanksgiving dinner hosted by the other americans who live here in vitoria. i made ranch dip with veggies, and it was totally deliciously exotic, because spain doesnt have ranch. weird! so we had turkey and mashed taters and green beans and corn and stuffing! homemade stuffing cause they dont sell the boxed kind here (stupid spain). but yes, we all decided that its totally lame that we only eat stuffing once a year, cause its totally everyones favorite dish of holiday flavor. yum yum i dont think i should learn the recipe because i will totally try to make it once a week and all it really is is bread and butter and seasoning. i guess it has a vegetable component, celery, but not enough to make it ok to eat 3 times a day for 4 days in a row. oh i also brought to the party two bottles of champagne that cost $1.50 each and you all know how much i enjoy a good bottle of champagne. and guess what i didnt just enjoy a good bottle i enjoyed TWO good bottles and so needless to say i had a very pleasant evening.

i didnt take any pictures of our dinner, but you all know what thanksgiving food looks like. so above is a picture of my apartment building. thats my apartment on the top story on the left. and sorry i know i already posted a picture of a sunrise from my bedroom window, but this is another one. i love watching the sun rise, and it rises a little later here for some reason? when i get ready for work in the morning and the sun is rising all beautiful like, i get all excited to be alive. cause its like totally beautiful and shit, you know?
