this thanksgiving....

          This thanksgiving was definitely a little different than usual but it was still great. I didn't really experience any anti-body practices. Although, since my stepsister is always trying to look better than me i dolled myself up. I was not uncomfortable but i was cold. I know i could have dressed up warmer but looking good had its price. Body-centered practices occur on an everyday basis. They occur when we brush our teeth, brush our hair, shower, put on lotion, make-up, lip gloss, etc. So everybody pretty much spent time doing body-centered practices.
          Thanksgiving is special especially for those whom celebrate it. It is special because it is the only day we give our body the greatest pleasure by eating all we want. We get to stuff our faces feasting on food that's cooked that day. Normally i would spend thanksgiving with my family in LA. But now that i live in NY it is distinct. Last year i spent thanksgiving at my house with my mom and sisters. We did not even cook. Pizza was ordered with a side of chips and soda. As we ate we watched television. I expected this year to be the same because i enjoyed it last year. Turns out mom is now married!!!!!!!!! So instead, this year we spent it at my stepfathers moms house. I baked one of my famous flans and my mom cooked ham. We arrived at their house around 6:00pm. When we arrived we bumped into lots of his family members. Since i am vegetarian, i only had mashed potato, rice, and cole slaw.For dessert i had some pie. Everyone else had some pie and my flan. Which they loved ! Food was good. Around 12am midnight i went o my bestfriend stevens house. We watched movies with 2 other friends of ours, dio, and mimi.
          Even though we do have have a member who passed away, my great grandma, i dont think she was remembered or at least brought up. There were only 2 elderly women. Henry's (stepfather) mom and great grandmother. His mom looked great, although his grandmother seemed ill. She walked very slowly, had a runny nose, and a bad cough. besides that everybody seemed fine.
