How does your family celebrate Thanksgiving?
Do you share what you're most thankful for?
Do you decorate (or attempt to decorate) for Christmas?
Or, maybe you just reveal Christmas presents early?
Are you traditional?
Or, are you slightly less traditional?
Whatever you did to celebrate, I hope it was wonderful.

Once upon an incredibly long line
I think some of the people I ran into shopping today (literally) may need to see this.
Obviously Rev. Billy's sermon didn't work on me because my alarm was buzzing bright and early at 5 a.m. Time for shopping!
As a college student, I've become accustomed to "pinching pennies." By that, I mean shopping at Target. I know -- that doesn't really count. Nevertheless, I have become addicted! I HAD to be there at 6 a.m. when the store opened this morning.
No, I didn't find anything I hadn't seen before (I was there only two days ago...), but I was wrapped up in the "holiday spirit." I didn't buy anything on sale, but I did get a GREAT black bag!
I bet you're wondering where the "5 questions for everyday people" is... Well, I was in line at Garden Ridge by myself (My mom was still shopping. We had the system down at this point: I would get in the line that took at least 30 minutes, and my mom would shop. By the time I was at the front of the line, she would arrive with her purchases.), and started talking to the young couple (Brad and Christina) in front of me.
After we chatted for a few minutes about how longggggg the line was...
What time did you start shopping today?
7 a.m.
Where was your first stop?
Wal-Mart. They were on a mission to get a good deal on a Wii.
Any luck?
Yes. They got four!!
I turned to Brad and asked if he was ready to go home.
Chirstina started talking before Brad could answer. As it turns out, he was the one dragging her out of bed this morning. Christina was more than ready to go home, but Brad could obviously go for a few more long lines.
I told Christina she had a keeper (a guy who likes to shop)!
This is the cool part. Her reply was, "All the guys in Athens like to shop." (What?!) Brad and Christina met at UGA! She was an early education major; he was finance.
We talked about UGA and Athens for a few more minutes, but I never asked Brad what his favorite store in Athens is. Fortson's maybe? :)

At 4 p.m., my mom and I were STILL shopping. My parents are having this big holiday party, so my mom's determined to redecorate the whole house by next Friday. (I'm not kidding. When we left for shopping this morning, painters were arriving. When we got back, the family room AND laundry room were a different color.) Basically, we were on a mission to find the perfect home accessories. We found some! We found lots, actually.

Wayyy back then!
As you may remember from my last post, I decided I don't really know my mom. I came up with a few questions about her life in college.
What was the world like wayyyyy back then (haha, kidding)?
My mom was in college from 1970 to 1974. The Vietnam War was still going on. Richard Nixon resigned from his presidency. Everyone did drugs, or at least smoked pot. I didn't ask my mom if that included her. I think the "everyone" kind of answers that one.
How did you and your friends dress?
Everyone wore bluejeans. They didn't wear bell-bottoms. Apparently, that was cool when my mom was in high school. The jeans were pretty straight-legged and extremely low-waisted. My mom told me she always looked like a hippie: jeans, a flannel shirt, massive hoop earrings and long, straight hair.
Where did you see yourself in 10 years?
Of course, she always wanted to be a famous -- a famous singer, in particular. She admits to have been very envious of her cousin, Laura Branigan, who did get rather famous. (See the video below. The song is so catchy!) In actuality, my mom always wanted to be a teacher, and she was for about 5 years. Then, she met my dad and had kids! That was always part of her plan, too.
What movie do you remember loving?
"The Way We Were" was a favorite. When my mom was telling me about movies she remembers most, she said, "Oh, I was so scared of that movie, 'The Omen.' No, wait, it was 'The Exorcist.' I couldn't sleep for weeks." I agree, Mom. I still can't get through "The Exorcist" (or "The Omen," for that matter).
If you could ask your mom one question, what would it be?
"If you had to give back one of your kids, who would it be?" We laughed over her response! My mom has four brothers and sisters. They don't always get along... :)

You may think you know, but you have no idea.
"Life, after all, makes the best story...especially the lives of our grandparents, parents and other loved ones. Sharing those stores and memories brings us closer to those we love...and to those we will never have the opportunity to meet." -- Marcia Cross.
I was inspired by a segment on Good Morning America this morning. (Click here for the link and then click on the video, "Marcia Cross Preserves Family History.")
Marcia Cross, from Desperate Housewives, has teamed up with Hallmark to create the Legacy Keeper. The kit gives you all you need to prepare and interview members of your family in order to create a family time capsule. I was interested to learn that the kit not only includes a photo album, slots for keepsakes and an MP3 player for voice-recording, but it also has a booklet of interview questions. Interview questions for your family?
This got me thinking... How much do I really know about my parents?
Take my mom, for instance. When I told her I planned to keep this blog, she said I should interview her. I laughed, of course. After all, I think I know my mom pretty well -- better than many daughters know their mothers. Not only do I know that she loves to invent new recipes, would rather be sitting on the beach with a good book and can't wait to move from Georgia, but I know pretty well exactly what shes thinking by the expression on her face. I can, more often than not, anticipate what she will say next. (Mom, you know I can...)
Basically, I know my mom now. What I don't know is my mom then.
I can't think of a more important, self-defining time in my life than right now. Being in college is amazing. What was my mom like in college? Sure, I can hear stories from my grandma about my mom's many boyfriends, coming home for the holidays, how she dressed, etc., but only my mom can tell me what she was thinking in college. What did she used to daydream about? If my mom had to write a blog post in college, what would the topic be...? :)
I'm determined to find out. Maybe I won't buy the Legacy Keeper, but I plan to ask her some serious questions -- a real interview. I'm going to get to know my mom... for real this time.
I encourage each of you to do the same. Let me know how it goes.

Let's chat
Georgia beat Auburn! Woo-hoo!!
Now that I have that out of my system... Being a great conversationalist is difficult, yet it is such an important skill. Think of the times that it can come in handy: on a date, at a business meeting, trying to persuade someone, ... and just meeting people in general.
On my quest to talk to "everyday people," here are a few things that have helped me have good conversations:
***WARNING: I'm NOT an expert! This is just what has worked for me. What works best for you?
1. Keep up-to-date with current events, whether it's Miss South Carolina (see below), Georgia's water crisis or Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama.
2. Pay them a compliment. Compliment their outfit, haircut or car. Whatever you say, I'm sure you'll find that they will become more receptive to conversation.
3. Ask for help. There's no easier way to get another person to talk to you.
To become better at this, check out this wayyy cool Web site: KwMap. Type in "river," and it maps out words like: lake, vacation, rafting, Hudson River, fishing, boat, canoe, Mississippi River and more.
5. Truly be interested in what the other person is saying. You can't fake this one. There's no trick.
Happy talking!

- At the bookstore: "Have you heard good things about this book?"
- At the grocery store: "What's the best way to cook so-and-so?"
- At the football game: "So, what just happened?" (Yes, I really do ask this...)

Maybe we'll meet one day in Italy...
First impressions, especially when meeting potential employers, can make or break a relationship. When you meet someone new, what's the first thing you do? Shake their hand! Therefore, a lousy handshake can be just horrible!
Erin Caldwell's recent post on Forward blog, Shake it!, is a fantastic beginner's guide to getting the handshake right -- make that perfect.
I knew Erin had a lot more to offer than tips on avoiding the dreaded "dead fish" and "macho cowboy" handshakes (urgh, nothing's worse!).
I know you'll enjoy my e-mail interview with the Auburn grad (I guess I can forgive her...) and DC resident:
What does an out-of-towner need to know before visiting DC? Any secrets?
"I’m not sure if this counts as a “secret,” but it’s certainly a way that makes it easy to distinguish between DC natives and tourists. Have you heard of the stand-right-walk-left rule? Essentially, it’s the whole idea that when riding the escalators (primarily applies to Metro escalators), you should stand to the right so that people who want to walk up/down can pass you on the left. Countless articles and blog posts have been written about this. It’s an amusing pet-peeve of DC dwellers."
Any guilty pleasures?
"Guilty pleasure ... hmm goodness! (When I was in college, my guilty pleasure was a cheese calzone from Mellow Mushroom. But alas, no Mellow Mushroom up here. Boo...) These days, it’s a cheese, stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut. I realize this is gross to some people, but I can’t help it.
What's the best thing about your job? (Erin is an account executive with the online advocacy group for Edelman. I'm jealous!!)
"Goodness, it’s hard to pick ONE “best” thing about my job. One thing that I knew -- and made clear when I interviewed with different agencies -- was that it’s important to me to have the freedom to be creative. My current job fits that perfectly! Plus ... we have the flexibility to work from home fairly frequently if we need to. Pretty sweet."
Dream vacation?
"Italy. Hands down. Actually, scratch that. I aspire to live in Italy one day, which means I would then vacation ... hmm ... on a private island in a tropical paradise. Yeah..."
Do you have time for TV? Do you have a favorite show?
"Alas, I don’t watch that much TV on a regular basis. But one show that I could stand to watch ANYTIME a re-run comes on: 'Friends.' Of course. I still laugh out loud to episodes I’ve seen a million times before."
I think Erin and I would get along so well -- "Friends" is my favorite show of all time, without a doubt. I can recite a little too much of it. And, I guess I could live in Italy too...

"Scooby dooby doo-bee"
"Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha - we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag l'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha-we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
Oh sha sha-
I am everyday people."

Paull is moving "Forward."
A few weekends ago, I was fortunate enough to attend UGA Connect, a social media conference sponsored by Grady College. Sessions like "Blogging 101," "Social Media's Influence in Georgia" and "Blog Measurement" reinforced the importance of blogging and creating online communities. (This is especially critical for me, a public relations student!)
Unfortunately, I missed Paull Young's case presentation on Forward blog. Forward is a collaborative blog for young PR professionals and students -- one of my must-reads -- and in the top 150 marketing blogs worldwide.
Well, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to interview Paull. On of the most accomplished 24-year-olds I've met in a long time, I knew he had to be a pretty interesting guy. I was right! I used Paull's personal blog to come up with some good questions. Check the e-mail interview (he was glad to be writing about something other than PR), minus the Australian accent.
You say you enjoy "good books, good music and good beer." What's on your current reading list? iPod?
"I'm a bibliophile. I love reading and wish I had time to devour more books. At the moment I've got a stack next to my bed. I'm polishing off David Weinberger's 'Everything is Miscellaneous,' and its really changed my thoughts about how information can be sorted and processed.
Next on the list is 'Empire' by Niall Ferguson - a look at the British Empire and thoughts on what it means for us today. My good friend and Forward colleague, Richard Bailey, gave me Niall Ferguson's book on America, 'Collossus,' when I visited him in Leeds in January. At the time I couldn't put it down, learned a bucket load from it, and it shifted my political thoughts on war, peace and the home front - pretty powerful stuff!
My iPod is full to bursting-point with my standard favorites - For Immediate Release, Six Pixels of Separation, Trafcom News, Engaging Brand and a handful of NPR programming."
As far as beer goes, I'm still looking for a good Yank one, any suggestions?
Where do you currently live, and what's the best thing about it?
"I moved to New York almost 6 months ago. I've traveled extensively, and I have no doubt that this city is the best place in the world for a 24 year old to be living. When I first moved here, I lived in Harlem, which wasn't as scary as many people thought it would be (though I did get some funny looks in that neighborhood when I'd go for a run in my short pair of rugby shorts).
Now I'm living in the Upper East Side, and I really feel like I'm on the set of a movie. It's like the Manhattan you've seen on TV, and I can walk to dozens of bars and restaurants as well as Central Park. I live with a bloke from Kentucky and a couple from Ohio, so we've got a little redneck enclave in a trendy area - I can't see myself moving for a while."
I see you like rugby. I don't know much about it... Any pointers for someone wanting to start? (Obviously, these pointers are not for me...)
"Ha ha - women's rugby is huge! I've been playing rugby since I was 6, and I've got several hundred games under the belt - it's a great sport.
If you're interested, I'd say just get into it. Americans tend to worry that it's a little violent, but in 18 years playing the game I've only ever had surgery a couple of times and other than that I've only got a few scars on the head to show for it.
The best thing about playing rugby is the international flavor of the game. I play for a great club called the Village Lions in New York, and we've got 40 different nations amongst our players. On top of that, I've got friends from home playing in Italy, Glascow, London, Hong Kong and a bunch of other spots around the globe."
Do you have a guilty pleasure?
"I've developed a huge weakness for those white chocolate Reeses peanut butter cups. We don't have 'em back home, and try as I might, I find it hard to avoid them, especially when paired with an afternoon coffee."
What's the coolest thing you've learned recently?
"Wow, that's a tough one because I'm learning something new every day because of the job I'm doing. Last night I was watching a documentary about the Vietnam War memorial and learned that the amazing design came about from a Yale undergraduate student through a contest. They opened up the design submissions to all Americans and found that a rank amateur outdid the experts and created something that is not only one of the most important American monuments but has touched the heart of thousands.
In the online space there is a lot of buzz about crowd sourcing, and it's an area I've been really interested in since reading Don Tapscott's 'Wikinomics.' It was funny to see such a beautiful example pop up, pre-web, while I was relaxing."
