Happy Thanksgiving!

Highlights of my Thanksgiving Break:

1.  Great time at the track, I managed to lose every bet I made, but altogether I only lost 20 dollars, which is pretty impressive to me (considering I bet on every race).  My future betting strategy is to make bets on horses that are no higher than $2.  This way, I can bet on every race and still not lose a lot of money.

2.  Wii fit is an incredible invention.  You should all try it.  I learned that my wii fit age is actually 43.  This is not good at all.  My body is physically 20 years older than it should be.  How horrible! I don't know how this happened but now I am going to try to go on a few more power walks now because Wii fit has told me that I am 43.  I might even re-join the gym. 

3. I learned a new word: fratty.  Maybe this is a common word to all of you who went to college with fraternities and sororities but this word is brand new to me.  I was talking to one of my brother's friends and he was describing some craaaaazyyyy night at Emory saying how all the guys were getting real "fratty."  So I guess fratty means belligerently drunk.  Awesome.  Don't get too fratty tonight.  I don't like this word, just say belligerently drunk and incredibly ridiculous instead of fratty.

4.  Rockband video  game (thank you for introducing me Sarah) has confirmed the fact that I have no rhythm.  Which in turn, reconfirms the fact that I cannot dance.  Rockband consists of three parts, the guitarist, the drummer, and the singer.    Basically the screen just tells you what you should be doing during the song and you are supossed to follow the notes/words.  If you miss a certain number of notes/pitches then you fail out of the song and there is just no hope.  I could not get through one part without failing out of the song.   This is pathetic.  I am thinking though that maybe I need a Rockband because if I practice the drums, I might get a better sense of rhythm, and then I may become a little better of a dancer, which would be well worth it.

5. I learned how to peel and cut pearl onions.  This is very important to me considering I cannot cook.  My new strategy to learning how to cook a successful Thanksgiving meal is to learn one thing every year.  This year I learned about the onions.  I am thinking that in 10 years, I should have thanksgiving covered by the time I am 33.

6. D List Celebrity Siting at the DCA Reagan Airport!!!!! John King (the annoying map guy) and Dana Bash from CNN, who look just as fabulous in person as they do on TV were standing behind me while I was waiting for my bags.
