I'd eat turkey in a big brown shoe

Turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey for me. Hi all just wanted to put up a quick post to wish you all a happy thanksgiving. We are thinking of you all. Have an extra helping for us today.

We are doing a modified thanksgiving here. Jesse and I took work off (actually just jesse my work is in guatamala) and we are doing nasty chores like bagging coal, cleaning house, and shopping. But had a lovely morning drinking special rationed food (hot chocolate for me and real coffee for jesse, thanks mom!) and watching I heart huckabees. On Saturday we are going to a friends house for thanksgiving dinner, in the sense that we are making a lot of food, not so much that we are eating thanksgiving food. We thought about themeing it, nothing says thanksgiving like a 70s pimp party. But decided to just bring whatever food we want to eat and not worry about it going together.

Other than that not a lot going on here. Yesterday jesse and I both had a good day at work. Which is worth mentioning because most work days are not as exciting as yesterday. Jesse had two programs. The first was in the morning at the local technical college here on HIV/AIDS. The government is doing a 100% condom usage pilot project (borrowed from Thailand) and this, I think, is part of that effort. Plus world aids day is Dec. 1. He said there were around 80 people in attendance, I think they took a couple classes hostage. They did three activities. One was a skit, one was true/false, and one was a categorize behaviors (safe sex stuff). He said there were a couple of interesting misconceptions. One, people thought you could tell if someone had AIDS by looking at them. Two, that you will always know if you have a STI, and three that you can get gonorrhea from peeing outside. The last one, you would think less people would think of the outdoors as a big toilet but alas they insist on peeing or pooping as they need. Mainly men/boys and small children and sometimes old ladies. Then in the afternoon we did another kindergarten parents training. This one was on healthy eating. I made cute games and baked a carrot cake, jesse gave out the good information and the food ger (aka food pyramid). We had 49 people there including 8 teachers. Last month we had 5 people. So that was pretty cool. Better advertising this time. Then afterwards we gave out almost the rest of our warm clothes from the clothing drive. It was great. I felt like I was doing good work here, and that feels nice.

Ok so there you have it folks, our thanksgiving post. Also for your viewing pleasure we have included some more photos. Enjoy.s
