We're not at dinner yet. We're still pre-din dins.
Natter 40: The Nice One
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
oh man. Allyson + ita + Polgara playing Trivial Pursuit is a Very Bad Thing.
I can top that. ita + Perkins + Polgara playing uno. It's a blood sport.
I sound like a demented seal. This is kinda wrong.
Hi.
Hey, Perkins.
Happy ritual sacrifice - with pie.
Now I'm trying to figure out when I will fit in my other Thanksgiving rituals. The listening to Alice's Restaurant and watching Pangs.
Laura, my compadre! I listened to Alice's Restaurant on the way to my cousin's house for dinner, and now that I'm back and utterly utterly stuffed full of excellent food, I'm about to put Pangs in the DVD player.
Ah, now we're watching Crime Dog. Life is good. A few of us walked the two blocks down to the beach and stood with our toesies in the ocean.
Happy T-day everyone!
I relaxed with Pangs between finishing my list and the guests arriving. It was quite fun. I hadn't seen it since last year. Willow was such a cutiehead.
They're all gone now, except one kid staying over. So much food. There were pictures still in camera. The guys are watching basketball and I'm going to curl up in bed and watch something as yet to be determined.
Goodnight all. I hope everyone celebrating or not had a lovely day.
I am just back from Thanksgiving with the family andam about to watch Pangs. Usually I watch it the morning of, but I woke up too late! In adition to our uaual ritual sacrifice with Trivial Pursuit, we have now added Texas Hold-em to our game playing reperatoire. Along with the ritual "Uncle makes fun of sophia and hurts her feelings" But this has come about every year for the past 32, so I know it is coming!
JZ and I are returned from EM's house. Emmett will be dropped off in the morning and we'll probably go see Harry Potter again.
Everything was delish, and there were only minor snags in the day (smoke alarm going off every ten minutes until we aimed a fan at it; JZ's mom stumbling into a few faux pas). Emmett needs better table manners though - I realized he hardly ever eats at a table with guests though.
I dragged Emmett over to his school fields and we did another baseball tuneup to ready him for his tryouts in two weeks.
I'm groggy with tryptophan and champagne and food stupor.
Also, I am going to smack Sophia's uncle some day. I'm just randomly going to show up in upstate New York and give him a slap up the back of the head. "That's for the last 32 Thanksgivings. Stop being a jerk."
