Gobble, Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you're enjoying time with your family, friends, and loved ones.

As you celebrate this Thanksgiving, remember those who are less fortunate, who don't have places to eat or daily shelter to protect them from the cold wintry weather.

I'll be spending time with friends. Most of my immediate family lives out of state. Today I hope to eat a hearty meal (or meals ), watch a few football games, and maybe endure the brutally cold weather while playing a little football.

On Saturday, my friend is celebrating his birthday. So, he's planning a get together that evening. Should be fun! Okay, enough about me, what about you? How's it going? I invite you to share your Thanksgiving stories! (Remember, it's not a good idea to post anything inappropriate or overtly personal :-)

*The "Pen Pal" instructions should be in your School Loop inbox by Saturday evening. If you don't find any info, simply write a brief description of who you are, your hobbies, likes and dislikes, etc. Then ask a few questions about your "soon-to-be" pen pal.

  2. Hello Everyone. Happy Thanksgiving!
    On Wednesday, I went to Chinatown which is a place you wouldn't expect me to go to. It was very fun. We went to a few stores there. then we ate ice cream at a Coldstone Creamery store. then my dad took us to eat at Sizzlers which should've been the opposite way around.
    Thursday was a bit confusing since I wasn't very sure where we were going. Well, at least I had a decent breakfast. I then learned we were going to Japantown. I was happy when we got there. The floor in that area was tidy. The first store we went to was Daiso Japan it was nice! I found my mom and grandma sponges that abbsorb a lot of water and clean well. The same company had towels that do the same thing. There were these sponges that could clean rust that we got. When we finished, we went to see the other side of the town which was all closed. We then found this supermarket where we bought a bag of Japanese rice cracker mix. It was so good! We then got bored and walked on Clement St. After that, we wemt home.
    Friday was one of the best days of my life! We woke up early so my aunt could pick us up. She took us to a Ross near Westlake. We stayed there a little bit and my mom got me a remote-controlled Lambroghini car. We then went to my great-aunt's house where we played. there was this cute baby that was sick. I felt sad for him. Anyway, my cousins and family watched a new cartoon movie called Firebreather. After that, I cheered up the cute baby. When we were leaving he shyly said bye, drooled and put my hand in his mouth. I got disgusted when my mom said he barfed from before.
    Saturday is the day I'm writing this story. Okay, I think I should stop writing because my fingers feel very weird and weak. Bye everyone! Happppppyyyy THANKSGIVING!

  3. Abdul you lucky loris. Japantown is one of my favorite places!!! right now I was banished to the library to type the penpal letter. But I'm clueless on what to type!!!! so I'm just listening to rock music. " helter skelter. helter skelter. helter skelter. yeah!" charles mason claimed that the beatles wrote this song telling him to start a race war. So he and his cult killed like nine people!!! But anyway I've taken a nap since my last post. So I think I will steal Abdul's idea and go to J-town. AND WILL SOME MORE PEOPLE POST PLEASE!PLEASE!PLEASE!!! THIS IS THE YEAR 2010 NOT 1776!!!!!!! AND I AM STARTING TO MISS YOU PEOPLES!!!!

  7. On Wednesday I stayed home did homework,went online, and pretty much did nothing. On Thanksgiving I went to my little cousins house. It was fun we ate turkey, gravy, corn, and all that good stuff. We even made 3 doozen cookies! Talk about sweets galore! Anyway instead of tackling the mob of crazy shoppers on Black Friday I stayed home and watched movies with the heater on. It was so cold, 60 degrees.On Saturday, well today I went to my other cousins house[still younger]. We played hide and go seek[not the kitty version],well not Kitty Choi,but you know what I mean. So then we ate pizza and popcorn. I took a break and started typing this. So then it leads us to the present moment. I guess I'm done, see you guys on Monday!

  9. COLD WEATHER SKIN HELP ( YES YOU NEED IT!!!)
    It can sometimes really dry out you hands which can lead to you getting little scratches, they really hurt!!! ( trust me I know) The best way to stop this is to basicly be gentle when you dry your hands, sometimes people rub it like they're trying to scrub the skin off a potato!!! And you should also put a little lotion, use a type that you've used before or one with natrul ingredents sometimes lotion can irritate your hands it is like having bug bites all over ( shivers) Also if you wake up with cold feet try going to bed with socks on =) instead of turning on the heat try putting on a jacket or getting a blanket. Hope this hasn't wasted a lot of time and caused you to burn in a terrible acident if it has I am very sorry please don't seek an eternal vengence on me I didn't know eek!!

  12. Well, Wednesday I was supposed to clean my room but I blew that off. Thursday I spent about 2 hours in the car driving to Atwater in Central California, spending Thanksgiving with my mom's bf's family. It was a very memorable Thanksgiving. We ate turkey,garlic mashed potatoes (I made), sweet potatoe casserole, rolls, stuffing, cranberry sauce stuff, salad, apple pie, chocolate pie, cheesecake, and much more that I just can't remeber right now. Friday after sepnding the night at my mom's bf's youngest sister's house we ate breakfast with his family and had to drive back home. After we got home, I had to unpack some stuff and then go to my dad's house. Saturday I woke up late after staying up until very early (in the AM). Then my dad and I went to the mall and I bought a new SF Giants hat, a chapstick pen, and 2 BFF necklaces. Then I went to the movies and saw part of Due Date (with Robert Downey Jr.), all of Social Network (with dreamy Justin Timberlake), and the new Harry Potter. They were all very,very, very good movies. Today I woke up late again because I stayed up very early (in the AM). Now I'm sitting here doing HW and typing this.

On Friday, I went to Target. I got a white top for the Winter Concert for ochestra. Then I went to Old Navy. I got black jeans for the Winter Concert as well. I also went to the doctor and went to a restaurant. On Saturday, I didn't have to go to this school I had to go on Saturday. I went to this place. It was scary. On Sunday, today, I went to Costco. Then I came home and got bored again. I played te Xbox 360 . I played it for like 3 or 4 days. Its fun. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!!!

  14. Happy Thanksgiving you guys! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Let me tell you about my Thanksgiving.
    Wednesday:I went to my cousins' place to do unfinished project. I also played with my cousins and ate dinner there too.
    Thursday:I stayed home and watched videos online. I also played my video games and worked on my project.
    Friday:My mom,my little pest brother,my baby sister,and I woke up early because we are going to the movies with my cousins,aunt,and my mom's friends. When we paid our tickets and we went to the food stand. It took so long because about 10 people came to watch the movie with us(that includes my cousins and aunt). When we finished we went to watch the movie. Oh yeah, we're watching "Tangled". The movie was funny and kind of sad,but it was mostly funny. After the movie,we went to my cousins' place and 5 people left to go home. There we had a Thanksgiving feast. Also I worked on my project there. It was fun!
    Friday: Like Wednesday,but I didn't go to my cousins' place.
    Saturday: The same as Friday and Wednesday
    Sunday: Me and my family(except my dad because he had to go somewhere)went to me and my brother's ice-skating class. My cousin named Amber(the cousin I was talking about) had a ice-skating class too. Amber's sister,Amy,was too lazy to go to with her and to her class. After the classes, we went to Amber's place. It was sooooo much fun! So I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!! =) =>

  16. Hi people! How are you guys doing? On Wednesday, I just stayed home and did homework. On Thursday, I went to Fort Funston to watch the waves of the ocean.And since it was Thanksgiving, my cousins came over to my house and ate dinner with my family. On Friday, I woke up early and ate breakfast as quick as I could because it was Black Friday! (Black Friday is a day full of great deals and prices) I bought lots of clothes and at the lowest prices! On Saturday I went swimming. And on Sunday, I went shopping. After I went shopping, I went to Costco.

  18. I left out some or forgot to write certain details and ever since 10:00 on Thursday, my dad was Black Friday shopping.
    On Wednesday I went to my grandparents house with my sisters. On Thursday, I did most of my homework, went to my cousins' house for thanksgiving and slept over there with my sister, Sydney. On Friday, Me, Sydney, and our cosins Haley, Remy, and Aidan, played with Haley's best friend Ashley. (Everyone is younger than me so) We played in thier garden, on the computer, and in the atrium. On Saturday, we had our annual Thanksgiving party with my parents' friends from college or whatever and thier kids. Later, I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel with my other younger sister, Sara. Today, we woke up late, went to take family holiday pictures, went to Costco to get a border for our Holiday greeting cards and dinner, then we went back home, I finished the rest of my homework, and I am writing this right now. After I'm done with this, I can start writing the pen-pal letter.
    I hope I see most of you at school tommorow.
