I have to make a decision and it's a decision I really don't want to make... My aunts want me to visit them in California for Thanksgiving.
I know this is a no-brainer to some people. Hello, California for my birthday and Thanksgiving? Who would pass that up??
Well... I am torn. I love Thanksgiving. We have Thanksgiving at my house every year and it's always fun and delicious. Then my mom and I go on Black Friday and spend money. My whole family comes over for Thanksgiving (on my dad's side). It's always a blast! Now, my only sticking point is A. I LOVE spending time with my family and B. My grandpa isn't getting any younger. But then I think... if Marge is there (UGH.) then I don't have to see her and plus we all see each other for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve.
If I go to California then I would spend Thanksgiving at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland, with two of my mom's sisters and my only cousin on that side. I know it would be a blast. Plus, it's my life goal to be at a Disney resort for every Holiday. I've been at Disney World for Christmas... Disneyland at Thanksgiving would knock one off my list.... If I go though, I have to deal with my sister being a brat about it and complaining to my mom that I get to go and she doesn't... Mind you, I will be paying for my own plane ticket.
I don't know what to do. My parents are zero help, they don't care either way. Thoughts?
Anyways, I am currently cooking a new type of zucchini bread. It has sweet potatoes, walnuts, and dried cranberries in there. It sounded good so I figured I'd give it a shot! Hopefully it turns out great.
I have been slacking on the working out AGAIN this week. I subbed full days every day this week and it's that time of the month, aka I am just plain exhausted. This upcoming week I am going to hold myself to working out more... I have lost -2 lbs just because of how I have been eating though. I have discovered I really like the raspberry or pomegrante Chobani. Deeeeeelicious!
I better go check on my bread. I am babysitting tonight for... a long time. The kids are fabulous though and with the student loans that I'll be paying... totally worth it!

1. That bread sounds delish! Tell me how it went.
ReplyDelete2. I think you should really consider going to Cali. And here's why: Thanksgiving sounds like a consistent tradition at your house. The food and people won't change next year if you go to Cali this year. It's something you will still get to experience later so it's a good idea to do something new while you can. As for your Grandpa, I don't know how he is healthwise or how old he is. If he's pretty healthy for his age, I wouldn't assume the worst about him being around next TG. And I hope you have chances to see him outside of holiday visits. If his health and age are a bit worn down, I would honestly make it a priority to see him and talk to him. Ease your mind about if it's ok to go. The rest of your relatives will not mind, and if they do, they'll forgive you. You aren't giving up seeing family since it's your Aunt. It's just a new set of relatives in a new location. Think about it.
3. Don't worry about working out so much. Life is busy and you do what you can. I've been slacking too but it'll get back on track.
Love you!
