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.
We have coffee, Dunkies, and the Macy's parade.
Since the children went to bed at 10:30 and some of the adults at 2:30, I hope there is mandatory napping later.
Also, I found myself cutting the cat's claws with nailclippers at 2:30 am. Did you know cats can get ingrown toenails? Poor kitty.
Heroes!
well despite going to bed around 10, mac was up before 6 and has been pretty out of character with semi-annoying demanding attention.
Nevertheless we are watching the parade. We went to see the balloons last night.
There is no cooking for us today, much to my chagrin, we are eating out.
Eating out is good!
As a kid, Thanksgiving used to mean a visit lasting a whole day to my mother's second cousin's horrible house where there was nobody to play with but my brothers, no toys and games for kids, my distant relatives' idiotic opinions and being made to dry all the dishes after dinner (while my brothers watched The Game with the other male relatives).
I've had nice and wonderful T-Days since then, but the scarring started young.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Some fear it will give us a bad reputation as a venue. But if we're keeping people like Celine away, I can't see a negative.
Yup. I love this story. It makes me happy every time I think of it. And narrowly avoiding a Celine concert helps us to remember to be grateful for every Celine-free day. And we can laugh at the petulance. Win-win.
Timelies all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
We're at a pause in the dinner making. Our menu is: turkey breast (for Mom), vegetarian dressing with cranberris and walnuts, green beans with mushrooms and shallots, mac and cheese (a version with butternut squash, we'll see how it turns out), rolls, and vegetarian gravy. Which I'll be attempting for the first time, I cooked the mushrooms and shallot separate from the green beans and then I'm going to make gravy in that pan to try and add the flavor. Pumpkin pie for dessert.
Then I'll go over to my extended family with dad and eat more green beans (dad's making veggie for me), sweet potato casserole and more pie.
And then I'll explode.
Happy Thanksgiving ya'll. So what is everybody thankful for this year???
