And we're here. The big game we prepare for all season. The only one that really matters. Our big top dawg rivalry. The Carolina-Clemson game!
Yes.. maybe, just maybe, Clemson is way ahead of us in the history of this rivalry. Like sadly so. 65-37 Clemson if you want to get technical. So what if we've lost our last three games and Clemson's kinda been kicking ass. If you know anything about us Carolina fans, you know we are the most hopeful creatures on earth. So this is where I will be all morning until mid-afternoon. Posted up in front of the TV, cheering on my Cocks with all of my entire heart, hoping for a game day miracle.
On a separate note, our Thanksgiving was okay. Just okay though and that's my fault. Dinner was great. Trey said it was the best Thanksgiving dinner he's ever had (lying to flatter me is completely okay in my book). I was just very, very emotional. I know it was just the fact that it was a big holiday, but I was extremely homesick for the first time since I've gotten out here. I cried for the majority of the day. From anything from a Folgers commercial I saw during the parade, from seeing Santa at the end of the parade (WTH???), to bigger more important things. I felt horrible for Trey. I feel like I pretty much ruined his day, especially towards the end of it. I took some NyQuil to go ahead and put an end to both of our misery, woke up and put my big girl panties on. Said a quick prayer, made a mental note of all of my blessings, and plastered a smile on my face. Yeah, it was a fake smile at first, but within a couple of hours my sour mood was lifted. I half-heartedly put Christmas decorations up, but thoroughly enjoyed them once it was dark. Celebrated a close call Alabama win with Trey. Got dressed up and had a much needed night out with friends (dinner and Orange Tree!), came home and laughed for two hours straight together while watching Christmas Vacation! I leave you today with some of my favorite Aunt Bethany quotes:
"Is your house on fire, Clark?"
" No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights"
Ellen: Oh Aunt Bethany, you shouldn't have done that.
Aunt Bethany: Oh dear, did I break wind?
Uncle Lewis: Jesus, did the room clear out, Bethany? Hell no, she means presents. You shouldn't have brought presents.
"Grace? She passed away 30 years ago"
"Is this the airport Clark?"
Aunt Bethany: What's that sound? You hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound.
Uncle Lewis: You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.

Hate to burst your bubble... but go CLEMSON! :)
It's hard sucking it up, especially during the holidays. Are you going to be able to go home for Christmas?
Hope you are feeling better! Are you going to be able to go home for Christmas?
I love the Christmas Vacation movie. Awesome.
Ahhh, the case of the homesickness. Holidays will do it to ya! The bright side? Your dinner was a success & your decorations are up. Now you can relax with a glass of wine with the Christmas tree lights giving sweet-sweet ambiance!
You do realize we could be best friends right? Based upon you quoting Aunt Bethany?
Sean and I are watching it today and my family watches it every.single.year. It's my favorite!
Sorry you had a tough day...I know how that can be!
Again, my soul sister. I bawled multiple times the night before Thanksgiving and on Thanksgiving day. Chad bought me some tequilla so whenever I felt the tears coming on, I took a shot... or two. It really helped. I've spent Thanksgiving completely alone before but this will be my first Christmas away and again I think I'm gunna rely on Jose Cuervo to get me through it. Poor hubby!!!
I love the Christmas Vacation movie..So funny! All those movies make me laugh so hard! I hope you have a great week.
