Thanksgiving: 2009 Version

My Thanksgiving:

• lots of cooking and baking with my sister acting as a sous chef
• delicious food
  
• mailing out graduation announcements
• discussing the future
• chatting with mom
• playing football with Jake, Abe, and Conner
• looking at my grandparents' pictures of Italy
• huge birthday party for Maggie and Jackson
• heart-to-hearts with my sister
• successfully avoiding the awkwardness/awfulness of Jeff's and what's-her-name's Thanksgiving
• chilling with my aunt
• talking to Jake about his new major--Explosives

I had a great couple of days at home! This break rejuvenated me (I hope) so that the last couple of weeks before graduation won't be pure hell.

Dear Body,

Please stop hurting. It's been approximately six weeks, and I'm tired of this. I would really appreciate it if you could just fight this.

Thanks,
Ashley

Post-Halloween Costume Parties, Beautiful Weather, Lots of Photography, Oh My!

It was just a cowbell kind of weekend.

What's Your Type?

When I drink beer, I prefer Blue Moon. Here's what that says about me:

The personality traits of people who prefer Blue Moon, a Belgian style wheat beer, tracked similarly to the same type of people who prefer craft beers—which means Blue Moon drinkers probably don't know it's a Molson Coors Brewing Co. family product made in Colorado.

Blue Moonies are socially liberal and usually quite willing to go against convention. They really hate moral authorities, and believe children should be exposed to moral dilemmas and allowed to come to their own conclusions. They can also be sarcastic and snide in order to get a point across.

People who drink Blue Moon beer are 105% more likely than the average person to drive hybrid cars, 77% more likely to own Apple Mac laptops, 65% more likely to purchase five pairs or more of sneakers every year, and 32% more likely to not be registered voters.

What does your beer say about you?
