Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, good point. The other things we always have are chocolate-dipped strawberries and eclairs.

What is even happening?

I just got back from a Body Shop party at a friend's house. I had a paraffin treatment on my hands. They feel so good, I'm convinced I was meant to be a lady of leisure.

This is the first time in several years that I'm not cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and it's making me craaaaaaaaaazy. We're going to DH's aunt's house, and she's a fantastic cook, but I don't know how she does her turkey, what kind of stuffing she makes, what kinds of sides there are going to be...it's going to be all different and weird and so I'm bringing 2 sides and 2 nibbly things and maybe more if I have the time.

Oh, I'm going to miss all your Thanksgiving posts, Jess. You always have great ideas, and always try something interesting. I'm a huge traditionalist about Thanksgiving, so it's sort of a vicarious experiment.

We've had as many pies as people, some years.
And this is bad how?
I see Jesse answered, but the answer made no sense, because it presented a plethora of pies as problematic. Piffle.

Not sure where the Yoda came from, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Rutabaga comes frozen????

My Grandma was the one that started it as well. Then mom picked it up for one year but she quickly passed it onto me. They are a bitch and a half to prep, take forever to boil but it's a thing - Thanksgiving means rutabaga to me.

Personally, I like the stuff too. With that much butter and pepper, I suspect my shoes would taste good though.

Rutabaga, mashed potatoes but no gravy, stuffing that never saw the guy of a bird... Those are my personal tastes of Thanksgiving. The rest can vary wildly and I won't mind.

Damn, now I am hungry too.

So much of that list is so materialistic, it's sort of making me glad I don't have much on the list.

Paraffin treatments lead to alliteration! Spread the word!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Marie Claire seems to be targeted to women with serious disposable income.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Now that's just crazy. Who are these people who think others need these things?

I dodn't realize readership of Marie Claire required such a high minimum income threshold/sugar daddy. For geez.
