Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Today I just have a quick post with another cool photo, kind of a "Throwback Thursday" post wrapped up in a "Where's Apples?" post. Take a look at the photo below and see if you can spot me: That's me on the Santa Claus float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a few years ago! How cool, right? Here's a cropped version so you can get a better look at my outfit: Doesn't that guy behind me look like Billy Bob Thornton? It wasn't him though, I swear! This was a couple years ago and I got the job by answering an ad in "Backstage" Magazine for "vertically challenged" folks to be elves on the sleigh with Santa. I thought it sounded like a blast and it totally was! This year is more low key, I'll be enjoying the parade from a comfy couch surrounded by a lot of family and friends. Sounds like heaven. Have a wonderful day and weekend everyone!

Hey Dudes! How's it going? Is everyone excited for Thanksgiving and a long weekend off from work? I know I am! Today I have a cool Thanksgiving-themed Throwback photo to share. It's not Thursday though so maybe we can call this a Turnback Tuesday photo. Is that a thing? It is now - hahaha! When I was about 7 or 8 my school did a Thanksgiving pageant, and I was thrilled to get to play the leading role of the turkey. What can I say, my teachers must have recognized my talents even back then. Just kidding! Anyway, here's the photo: As the turkey I had a short song and dance routine, and it looks like my Mom caught me mid-move there. I wrote the the song myself and I don't remember the exact words but I know I sang about being the tastiest thing on the plate. I guess I was a little morbid back then - hahaha! And I don't eat turkey, obviously, so the whole thing was pretty funny. Anyway, I'd love to hear about your childhood Thanksgiving memories so drop me a line! Safe travels everyone & enjoy the time off!
That's right, it's time for another addition of: Dear Apples, The holidays are coming up so I was wondering if you have any holiday cooking or crafting tips you'd like to share. Sincerely, Mary Stalwart Dear "Mary Stalwart," Are you sure that's your real name? It sounds like an alias to me. I think we both know who you are...Martha Stewart!!! Excuse me for being paranoid but I've been convinced for years that Martha Stewart has a camera somewhere and is stealing my recipes and crafting ideas. I swear to you, I'll come up with something on my own and then it'll show up in her magazine the next month! What the heck?! But since you asked "Ms. Stalwart," I'll give you a few tips. 1. Roll your turkey in kitty litter before roasting it, it'll give it an extra crunch! 2. Decorate your holiday table with barbed wire. It'll catch the candle light in the most beautiful way - and prevent people from overeating because passing dishes is a challenge! 3. To save space in your refrigerator just dump all your leftovers out on the front lawn. Raccoons like to celebrate Thanksgiving too! So there you go "Mary Stalwart" - three tips for the holidays. And if you're not actually Martha Stewart in disguise, well, please disregard these tips. Hahaha! Hey Apples, You seem pretty busy during the weekdays. How do you like to spend your weekends? -Sarah Quince Hi Sarah! Yes, I tend to be pretty busy Monday-Friday but there are so many cool things to do in NYC it's often hard for me to relax on the weekends! I love visiting the Met or the Natural History Museum, wandering around Prospect Park for hours or meeting up with friends and getting brunch at one of our favorite spots. Now that it's getting colder I'm starting to stay in a little more and I gotta admit that I LOVE watching football! There's something about hefty guys crammed into spandex smashing into each other that I just can't get enough of......or maybe it's the butt shots - hahahaha! To demonstrate what I'm talking about, may I present to you "NFL Butts!" You're welcome! |
