Spidra, honey, I really don't think you're being oversensitive. I think they're being assholes.
I agree. Yet another reason we need Buffista Island. I strongly suspect that the crappiest thing about holidays there, would be cooking accidents. Which, if covered by enough booze, would be great sources of amusement, and therefore non-crappy. We would all have each other. There would be laughter (the good kind), music, genuine merriment, much actual giving of thanks.
There would also be plenty of quiet spots for people to get out of crowds - gardens, book-lined nooks, comfy sofas with napping pets. And no one would ever be guilted for making use of one.
Spidra, did I misunderstand? I thought you were joining our urban family (no family drama guaranteed) Thanksgiving tomorrow.
I could invite my family. Then we would have some family drama.
Crap. I need to make a few calls then.
The PixDesigns are making me laugh very hard.
Thanks very much. I really appreciate you inviting me! I RSVP'd yes and will be there for the day. I'll be returning home at night to catch whatever's left of the home crew.
It's not that I'm a T-day orphan. It's that I like my younger brother and he didn't even invite me to this T-day he's holding, while he invited my eldest brother. So I have to think that he doesn't want me there. Which means while I like him, he doesn't really like me (or his wife doesn't...).

Whew. I'm relieved. I'm very glad that for at least a few hours you will be surrounded by people who are not going to make you crazy (except in a fun way). It still sucks about your collection of relatives. But it's good to know you will get to really have fun.
Yay, PixDesigns urban family feast!
