Hottest Thanksgiving EVER

Leah and I spent our glorious Thanksgiving holiday in a wonderful little resteraunt called Amaranta Bistro.  They had everything we could have possibly asked for in a Thanksgiving meal, even cranberries!  There was this awesome butternut squash soup, turkey with stuffing, potatoes, vegetables, and of course, pumpkin pie.

The only problem was that it was hot.  Not hot in the way that you feel mildly uncomfortable, but hot in such a way that sweat was pouring off everyone in rivers.  There was only one fan in the entire place, and it was placed above our table so that it hit all the other tables perfectly, but not ours.  I think Leah and I each went through 3 bottles of water before we had even finished the first course.  The worst past was that once the food was brought out, the steam from the food would hit us in the face and makes us even HOTTER, if it was at all possible.  I later found out from a friend that this Thanksgiving was the hottest one on record in BsAs.  If you were standing out in the sun, then you were standing in 104 degree heat.  

Stuffed and incredibly overheated, we decided our only option was to go chill in the cinema for a couple of hours and cool down in the amazing air conditioning.  We bought tickets for the only movie showing at that time, having no idea what it was about.  It turned out to be some terrible movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pearce about Houdini and psychics and true love blah blah blah. 

After the movie we went to an air conditioned bar for a while, were still incredibly overheated and decided to go home to watch my favorite actor, Tim Allen, in The Santa Clause.  On the way home the wind was so strong we were blinded by the debris in the air and saw someone actually get hit by a blowing branch.  We got inside just before the storm arrived, which thankfully broke the heat wave.

I also should mention that Leah decided to dye her hair that afternoon.  We spent at least 20 minutes studing the boxes at the pharmacy, deciding which red would be perfect for her hair.  We chose a light, rich red, very similar to the color her hair already was.  So we watched a Friends Thanksgiving episode (the one with all the thanksgivings) and dyed her hair. Unfortunately, after Leah rinsed her hair out, we realized the box had LIED.  Her hair is now darker than mine, if you can imagine, with hints of red, but definitely far FAR different than it was before.  I'm finally getting used to it and think this is a good look for her, because who doesn't want to be a brunette?
