Kevin requested that I pose this question to my discerning readers.
I’m not trying to be materialistic or anything, I’m just girly like that. I like to have something new & cute to wear. It’s a way of celebrating! It’s at times like this that I miss my girlfriends! 
A dress in every color to borrow. And my best roommate ever, the My Size Roommate!! It totally stunk to have our wardrobes cut in half when I moved back to the States! Good thing I have some new work clothes I can use this year when our budget’s a little tight. They’re a little conservative for the holidays in my opinion (no glitter, sequins, or ruffles), but I’ll survive!
And just for fun….
What’s better than free pizza?
Free turkey!! Our gym was having like a social mixer gathering tonight for its members. So after a nice 4-miler and an hour of Zumba, I had a smidge. I had to share with Kevin. I don’t know why he can sneak 5 pieces of pizzas from the Halloween party but is so sparse when it comes to my turkey!! C’mon! Be the food hoarder I know & love! I’ll be honest. Zumba isn’t exactly a challenging workout for me (besides some of the choreography) but I was just in the mood for it tonight.
By the way, there’s a guy who’s ALWAYS in the Zumba classes who looks just like Corbin Bleu (not to be confused with cordon bleu – that took me some Googling!)
Do you think it IS him? Mom: Corbin Bleu is some guy who was in Disney channel movies about jump rope. Fun fact: Corbin Bleu won award for Best Hair While Bowling. I should probably keep talking about him. It’s probably a good way to get hits to my blog by 8-year-old girls!
I was feeling super festive tonight so I picked this up from the store while we were out. I’m not exactly a soy lover, but it’s a better alternative than 180 calories for 1/4 cup! I feel like tomorrow is like the half-day of school before the holiday. So exciting. I bet the people in my office will not be as hyper as kids are before break. That’s always such a nightmare, but of course now I miss it!!
Do you like egg nog? Love it. My parents taught me this tradition. I will always remember the year my dad got a really good deal, and we ate it like kind of frozen. SO DELICIOUS.
Are you traveling for Thanksgiving? Yep. Although we are looking forward to NY when we will finally have a day off at our HOME!! Kevin didn’t even have his suitcase unpacked from being gone this week, and that just seems like how life has been.
Gotta bounce because I’ve convinced Kevin to workout at 5AM tomorrow since otherwise we won’t have time because we’ll be in the airport.
Oh. My. Gosh. Your posts always kill me! You are such a hoot! I am a total over-packer. It. Is. Crazy. I always have way more shoes than I need. Also, regarding the “Do you buy new outfits for holiday’s” question…I re-mix for most holiday’s, but during Christmas, when we visit Chase’s family (his sisters are like crazy models that always comment on every piece of clothing I wear) I go crazy and buy all new stuff. I have already started buying my “Visit Chase’s House” outfits and am in the pre-planning process. It is kind of ridiculous.
I love it!! My best friend and I always used to buy airport outfits when we hadn’t been in the States for a few months. I packed plenty of shoes, but I forgot to pack a t-shirt!! I had to wear one of Kevin’s undershirts underneath my running jacket this morning!! Haha.
Your soy milk is wearing a scarf! Looks tasty, unlike egg nog. I cannot stand that stuff!
Are you crazy? You’re just like my husband. If egg nog wasn’t so fattening I’d drink it with my cereal!
I was feeling a little bit bad about myself for picking the “running shoes, toms, heels, higher heels, slippers, leopard flats, and boots” option….until I saw that almost everybody else did too. Yay, validation!!!! Now I can tell the hubs that I’m NOT crazy for wanting to bring that many pairs of shoes with me on a long weekend.
You really need them! You really do. You can cut back on the clothes, but you definitely need the shoes!! I fit them in my carry-on and my (very large) tote!!
You’re actually not supposed to have soy. I forget the reasoning behind it, but it’s not actually good for you! However, dark chocolate almond milk is amazing!! and I don’t even like milk, or egg nog!
are you coming to MN?
Right. An excess of soy is not good, especially for women. But I don’t think that’s going to kill me. The high fat content of regular egg nog is probably equally awful. But this stuff tastes like peppermint mocha!!! And we are coming to Minnesota. Tonight!!!!
That is super funny that he wanted to poll all of us
My husband would do totally ask the same thing of me if he knew of this! Oh yummmm— the chocolate mint milk! Yummmm!
I know. And I saw one that was red velvet! Crazy, right?
