Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating it.

My family doesn't "officially" celebrate it since it's mostly an American holiday and not a European one, but we do get full of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and apple pie. Our Thanksgiving is small. We don't make a big deal of it. It's only the immediate family and some great food, but it's what works for us, apparently.

I have the theory that we even think about celebrating Thanksgiving around here just to have an excuse to eat like crazy since my parents are health nuts and we never have any pie or any other fatty good foods here, unless it's someone's birthday.

And I hear the skiing biz has taken off in Japan. Now, I really wish I could ski and had money to go to Japan.

[Fic] Flowers For Someone (Naruto)

A Naruto drabble.

Ino leans her chin into her hand and sighs, looking at her semi-best friend, Sakura moving around the store, going from one flower to the next and then scowling at the flower.

"What are you doing?" She finally asks, getting annoyed with all the moving and annoyed looks the pink-haired girl gives to the flowers in her shop.

"I'm looking for the perfect flower."

"For whom? Lee already likes the flowers you send him to the hospital."

"They're not for Lee." Sakura looks at one tall stem of a yellow tulip and her face is delighted for a second, but then falls again in disappointment.

Ino looks confused.

"Then who are they for?"

Sakura finally glances up at Ino and gives her a small smile. "They're for someone who's misunderstood and feared in his village. But, I suppose there really isn't a perfect flower for him. It's okay, I'll keep looking. Bye, Ino!" She  waves happily to her friend and walks out of the flowershop.
