Thanksgiving Highlights: Newsies, Turkey Trot, and Ravens!

My Thanksgiving kicked some serious butt this year. Here are some reasons why:

I actually ran a Turkey Trot this year. Why is this so exciting? Because last year, I didn’t even own running shoes, nevermind would I consider running, nevermind a 5k, nevermind by myself. So while, yes, I really hope some friends join me next year, the entire time I was running (the very hilly, not very easy course), all I could think was: I’m thankful I can run.

Hi, my name is Molly and I’m obsessed with the Newsies (like most other women my age… HAVE NO FEAR. BROOKLYN IS HERE!). That is why, while enjoying my post-turkey-trot breakfast (twice-toasted everything bagel with egg and turkey bacon), I was SO EXCITED TO SEE THE CAST OF NEWSIES perform a “sneak peak” at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade:

Can you believe it?? My boys are back! I haven’t been this excited to see my Newsies since the Newsies/Lady Gaga mash-up I obsessed over this summer:

Heaven! Can’t wait to see it on Broadway.

After the Turkey Trot and after the Newsies sighting, I was ready to walk the dog (I’m dog sitting), shower, and get my sweet potato cassarole on:

Skinnytaste's Sweet Potato Casserole

I think it turned out really well. And there was no added sugar (save the marshmallow) as I used fresh pineapple (not from a can) and agave. No one was the wiser.

Finally, Thanksgiving Dinner:

Why yes... we are Ravens fans. How ever did you know?

Dinner was, per usual, delicious. It always is. I got into my usual “Democrats are better than Republicans because…” argument discussion with family members (I think I knocked it out of the park this year), but we wrapped it up in time for… THE RAVENS GAME.

Or, as some have been calling it, the HarBowl.

In case you were wondering who won, John > Jim. Ca caw! Eat it, haters. What’? That’s not very thankful of me? Thank you, Ravens, for beating those 49ers, and allowing us to dress up in our most festive and comfortable Thanksgiving gear:

Cousins 4 Flacco

All of the cousins wore their Flacco jerseys... isn't that cute?

They didn’t plan it, I swear. (PS – I wore my Ray Rice jersey, in case you were wondering.)

So yes, even though we missed some of our loved ones, we had a very Baltimore Thanksgiving. And I really can’t imagine it any other way.

I Am My Hair

I’ve been working out a lot more lately. It feels good, and heaven knows I have the time (super regular hours at the *new* job). I’ve also taken the cue from Lucy Actually and started running. Right now I’m on week four (I repeated week three two times) of the Couch to 5k. But really, more on all that later.

Anyway, since Lady Gaga’s latest album leaked, I’ve been OBSESSED with it. It is, without question, the best soundtrack for any cardio workout. I can’t get enough of 90% of them, but my recent obsession has to be “Hair.” The lyrics are a little weird, but you know… Lady Gaga is weird. So it makes sense. And I promise you – there is nothing better than running hard, having my long ponytail swing from side to side, sweat flying (sorry, treadmill buddies) and hearing:

I’ve had enough,
This is my prayer,
That I’ll die livin’ just as free as my hair…

It makes me feel invincible.  I highly recommend you download this record at your earliest convenience.

In the meantime, check out Lady Gaga’s slowed-down performance with a bald head. Brings another level of hotness to an already hot song:

I just wanna be free,
I just wanna be me,
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties.
Don’t want to change,
And I don’t want to be ashamed,
I’m the spirit of my hair,
It’s all the glory that I bear.

I know, I know… it’s not a shock that I’m pimping out Lady Gaga. Clearly I’m one of her biggest fans. But lady gives good music.

Britney Spears or Lady Gaga?

Fit Chick in the City asks:

If you could only workout to Britney Spears or Lady Gaga for the rest of your life which would you choose?

Unable to choose between my two favorite ladies, I say, why not both?

Since I couldn’t decide between the two, I’ll ask you this – what’s your favorite workout music?  Currently, my go-to is Girl Talk (OMG I just linked to MySpace). And yours?

The Fighter actress Melissa Leo wins because DANG. Gorgeous construction. And hello, shoe envy.

The very definition of a tall drink of water. Well done, woman-I-don’t-know-because-I-refuse-to-watch-Winter’s-Bone-because-of-gruesome-squirrel-skinning-scene, Jennifer Lawrence.

Black Swan‘s Mila Kunis. I die.

Love Busy Phillips on Cougar Town and love, love, love her as supportive friend to Michelle Williams (Photo Source). Which brings me to…

Michelle Williams! Petite beauty. Bright, clean ,crisp, and stunning. (But, was she on something? Because she seemed dazed and confused during interviews.)

Our favorite E! homegirl, Giuliana Rancic, shuts it down in a Christian Siriano original. G is really on a roll this awards season. (Photo source.)

She is just so beautiful and I love her every year. I’d probably still love her even if she killed small chipmunks with her bare hands. But this year, maybe it’s because she’s presenting, but she’s extra-happy, extra-smiley, and extra-glowing… and I love it.

You had me with your Lady-Gaga shoulders. Win! This might be my favorite dress of the evening.

Gorgeous color, gorgeous fit, gorgeous ombre. Love.

She just had twins. Twins! Wow. So stunning.
