1. What are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?
Thursday, we’ll be going to Husband’s great-grandma’s house for dinner with his mom’s side of the family. (I’ll be making baked macaroni & cheese.) Saturday, my family is doing their Thanksgiving at my parents’ house. (I’ll be making my Granny’s stuffing/dressing and a cake.) Sunday, Husband, my dad, my brother, and my brother-in-law are going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (my dad’s team!) v. Tennessee Titans game in Nashville. Mom & I will be driving along, too, so we can spend some time in Nashville.

2. What are you most thankful for this year?
I’m thankful for life in general this year. I’m thankful for an amazing husband. I’m thankful for awesome parents and wonderful siblings. I’m thankful for my adorable nephew. I’m thankful I have such great in-laws. I’m thankful for all of the people in my life.

3. Do you have any traditions on Thanksgiving? The parade? Football? Long naps?
Um, we mostly cook and eat food. I usually make my Granny’s stuffing.

4. Is it called stuffing or dressing? Is it in the bird or a separate dish?
I usually call it stuffing, even though I never put it in the turkey. It’s a separate dish. Well, more like two or three giant pans full. When Granny & I used to make it, we’d mix everything together in a HUGE laundry basket. I’m serious. We made a lot of stuffing.

5. Do you cook?
Yes, though I’m making less than usual this year for my sanity.

6. What is your favorite dish?
Stuffing. Even though I make Granny’s stuffing, it’s not really a recipe. I know what to put in it, but I just sort of eyeball how much of everything to put in. It still never tastes quite like her stuffing, but it has been close! I really like broccoli casserole, too!

7. What is your dessert preference?
Mmm, pumpkin pie.

8. What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory?
All the years I shared with my Granny and Pawpaw. Especially the year Granny let me make the stuffing on my own for the first time. It was maybe a year or two before she passed away.

9. Do you plan to shop on Black Friday?
Nope. I don’t really want to stand in line at 2:00 a.m. after eating a huge Thanksgiving feast. I’d rather sleep.

10. What are you most dreading about Thanksgiving this year?
Really, nothing. This is the first year (since Granny & Pawpaw passed away) I’m truly looking forward to Thanksgiving.

1. What are your pantry staples?
Pasta, alfredo sauce, flour, potato chips, sugar, peanut butter, bread. Random, I know, but those are the items that are always in my pantry.

2. What are your refrigerator staples?
Water, miracle whip… really, those are the only things that are always in my refrigerator. If we’re including freezer, we always have chicken and frozen rolls.

3. You already look like Heidi Klum (or your favorite supermodel). Now, what are the top three non-physical things you would change about yourself?
Hm. I would want to be more patient, more optimistic, and less introverted.

4. What’s holding you back from your dream job? (If you already have your dream job, how did you get there?)
A degree, I suppose. That’s something I’ll have in the next two years or so, though.

5. You have $500 to spend but it has to be on one item only. Go.
Right now, I’d say I’d put it toward the $2,000 I owe on my car or toward my student loans. If I had to buy something for myself, though, I’d buy an iPad, which is $499 (at the lowest).

6. What is something that you are embarrassed to admit you buy on a regular basis?
Fast food. I eat there several times a week because it’s convenient before class.

7. What’s in/on your bed every night?
Husband and I, about five pillows, a sheet, and a comforter.

8. What is a non-necessity item that, no matter how expensive it gets or how tight your budget if, you will always find room for it?
I don’t have any items like that. I don’t typically buy anything if I can’t afford it, and if it’s something I want, I just save for it.

9. What is the weirdest sandwich you’ve ever made?
I typically stay away from weird sandwiches, actually. Husband thinks it’s weird that I get black olives on my chicken salad sub from Publix, though.

10. Would you rather: Be banned from Pinterest forever, but gain a million captive Twitter followers; or, never get on Facebook again but gain five thousand blog readers?
Honestly, I’m not very wrapped up in Pinterest. I don’t really have time to browse as much as I’d like. I think I could go without facebook, but I do use it occasionally for talking to distant relatives.

2. How many times do you wear your jeans before you wash them?
I usually only wear them once before washing them… But if they don’t get dirty and I haven’t washed clothes, I’ll just toss a pair in the dryer to “freshen them up” once.

3. What is your favorite pasta shape?
It depends on what I’m eating. I like spaghetti, angel hair, linguine, vermicelli, fettuccine, and penne.

Not usually. If I see one lying around, I might skim the articles. I usually read the news online.

I never wear socks to bed, though I used to when I was younger.

Comedies or romantic comedies (even if they are corny). I do like a lot of indie films, though.

7. How do you feel about wrestling?
I don’t care one way or the other.

I suppose that’s a personal choice. I don’t really care either way.

No … But my nephew does!

10. Do you like to camp?
I’ve never really been camping, but I’m not sure I’d like it.
