'Sleeper'
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.
I am large with the holiday malaise -- no clue what to do about Thanksgiving, except that I reallyreally don't want to deal with family. Either side. Perhaps on the phone, but only briefly. Food will be eaten. Not really inspired by the whole turkeyish genre this year. Currently lacking any other ideas. Might hunt down friends, if others are similarly unattached and uninspired.
Oh, and there must be cranberries.
Go team everyone's favorite holiday?
Honestly, I love my family. I enjoy spending time with them (when they aren't doing inlaw drama.) I look forward to seeing them. But right now? My found family holiday is what I look forward to. No weird loaded expectations, no obligations. Just people. That I like. Who entertain me.
Is it wrong that I hope I feel about 3% worse tomorrow morning, so that I can justify not going to work?
sigh. I am starting to hate Thanksgiving.
I'm only working a partial day tomorrow. CJ has an orthodontist appointment at 11am. He will offically enter the braces phase of pre-teen life. Poor boy.
Burrell, I highly advocate running away.
sigh. I am starting to hate Thanksgiving.Welcome to the club. We have a secret handshake and everything. Or we would if we weren't all avoidy.
Survivor was excellent tonight: "Jonathan, getting frustrated by me!" "Day 21!" Ha!
I would love to run away, sarameg. But I think I'm going to get roped into either hosting--feh!--or going out to dinner, which just isn't right for the holiday in my book.
I'm hoping I can pull off Plan C: MiL and those as wants go out to dinner, me, hubs, and the kids have dinner with my extended family at lifelong neighbor's house, and then we meet up with MiL and DH's family for dessert at my house.
I laughed out loud at that first bit, bon.
