Re: Thanksgiving poll!
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?: All the driving it will take to make the above happen!
Favorite Thanksgiving food: STUFFING!
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing? HELL YES! We're actually avoiding bars, because they'll be crazy crowded - but we're definitely hanging out with friends. And we're DEFINITELY going to the bar tomorrow night, since it will be nice and deserted!
What are you most thankful for this year? I'm thankful for my H and his awesome new (well, new in June) job that allows us so much more time together, that both our families are in good health, and that we get to spend time with family and friends this week.
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?: Money! I didn't know how the hell we were going to be able to pay for everything!
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?: Hell no.

What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?:
I'm looking forward to seeing all my aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandma. All in all about 70 people in one house.
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?:
The drive to and from dinner. I usually end up doing both since my parents can't really see at night.
Favorite Thanksgiving food:
Our family mashed potatoes...20lbs of potatoes, 3 containers of sour cream, 2 lbs of cheese. Pretty much a heart attack on a plate.
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing?
HELL YEAH!!! My friend just finished her last undergrad final yesterday and all my old friends from high school are in town. I have no idea where we are going, but we are definitely going out.
What are you most thankful for this year?
I'm thankful to have a job again, for my family and friends. I'm also thankful for my wonderful husband and everything that he does for me.
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?:
I was stressing out about all the little details. How to get the travel bags for out of town guests into the rooms, what to put in the bags, who was going to make the bags. Oh and how was the holiday eating going to affect my weight and therefore my dress fitting that I had the week after Thanksgiving.
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?:
I am. I get all my husbands families gifts that day so we can ship them across the country without paying a fortune for shipping. Also I get any big ticket items that are great deals. This year my DH wants an Xbox 306 for Christmas and they are on sale for $199 for a bundle.
What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?:
Spending time with family and of course eating way too much food! We are going to my brother-in-laws tomorrow. He is a chef at the restaurant he owns in NYC so the food is always super delicious! My family is coming up on Sunday for an after Thanksgiving brunch on Sunday. It will also be the first time that my brother and sister are seeing our house.
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?:
Nothing really it is always a nice day. Maybe having to be the DD, I will have some drinks but I always drink less than MH.
Favorite Thanksgiving food: Mashed Potatoes!!
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing? We are undecided at this point. MH invited some friends over but I don't think they are coming. I would rather have people over or go to someone's house rather than go out to the bar.
What are you most thankful for this year? For starters MH who truly is my best friend , family and friends. Also for the fact that everything worked out with us buying our first house. It was the most stressful experience and it def. makes me not want to buy a house again. But I really am thankful that it all worked out, it was meant to be!
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?: I think that I was stressed out about the number of people that were attending. We needed a minimum of 125 and I think that we were under by 5. On the actual day I think that we were 10 under, not such a big deal in retrospect.
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?: Umm, I am undecided at this point. I usually would go with my mom and sister but that is not happening this year. If I do go it will just be to a few stores and not to the actual mall or maybe I'll just do it online.
Hope every has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hard to believe that our One year anniversaries are just around the corner!
What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?: Having not to be working and spending time with DH family.
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?: Still have to do homework and try not to let my mom and dad get to me when we get together (a lot of drama going on right now)
Favorite Thanksgiving food: Green bean casserole.
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing? I wish I was, but I will be making sure no one is extremely hurt or sick tonight (working a night shift on the ambulance). We are to be getting yucky winter weather tonight so it'll be intersting to see how many go in the ditch or fender benders since we all forgot how to drive in the sloppy crap. DH probably will go out with a couple friends.
What are you most thankful for this year? Marrying my best friend.
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?: Hoping I didn't forget to invite anyone to the wedding and trying to find a different soloist for the ceremony (the one we had backed out due to not being comfortable with the Catholic ceremony). I got everything else done early since I was in nursing clinicals at this time last year.
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?: Yeah right, NOT. I hate shopping and do not like getting up at 2am to wait in line somewhere when it's cold. I rather be sleeping (probably coming home if I went out) and shop at another time when there isn't so many people out and about. Sorry. I will probably be the only one that doesn't like shopping.
What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?:
being with family, plain and simple.
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?:
all of the over eating haha...also the fact that the next day, Christmas Tree season starts so I'll be seeing DH much less.
Favorite Thanksgiving food: mashed potatos and gravy
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing?
yup :-) at least for one drink. I'm getting together wtih some teachers from last year.
What are you most thankful for this year?
DH, and all he's done for me this past year. Also the fact that i have a job this year.
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?:
I have no idea haha probably the food i was eating.
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?:
absolutely not.
What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?:
Having a quiet weekend here in CT With DH, so not traveling, and getting to cook and then go to my best friend's house with DH for dessert, drink, and Christmas movies.
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?:
Dishes, and missing our families this year. DH has to work at 6am Friday so we decided to just stay here. I'll miss my fam, but we'll travel home for a week at Christmas.
Favorite Thanksgiving food: Stuffing (homemade!)
Tonight is the biggest bar night in the country. Will YOU be imbibing? A glass of wine with dinner, and maybe one after dinner. But nothing too crazy.
What are you most thankful for this year?Thankful for DH, he has been so supportive of me and my photography. It's been a bit of a crazy year and there have been weeks we've barely seen each other, but we're in a great place and I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary!
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?: I don't even remember...favors? Praying my company would give out holiday bonuses to help give us a buffer if we needed it, most likely.
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?: Hell no, I will be sleeping. I do have to take my car in for repairs in the morning. Boo that. I'd rather be spending money on gifts. But I DO like going to Kohl's around 3 and getting some little things, like new slippers and an outfit to wear to holiday parties.my blog
What are you looking forward to MOST about Thanksgiving?: Cooking my first Thanksgiving!
What are you looking forward to LEAST about Thanksgiving?: Not being able to spend it with my parents/in Texas
Favorite Thanksgiving food: Hmm. That's a tie between potatoes and the green bean casserole

What are you most thankful for this year?Spending it with DH, and seeing snow for the first time before New Years Eve
BONUS: At this time last year, what wedding-related thing were you most worried about?: Whether or not DH's parents would grow up and stop threatening to not attend (they didn't)
Bonus BONUS: Are you battling the crowds for Black Friday shopping deals?:YES! Hopefully DH can join me, but he is sick todayBFP 02/2010 m/c 03/17/2010 dx PCOS 04/2010
