I actually do come from a long line of Boones from West Virginia. For what that's worth.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
No connection to Daniel Boone that I know of and I would be shocked if I have any Native American blood. Shockingly white - dominated by English and Dutch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have to carol outside in about an hour. I am supposed to dress "festively". The warmest red or green thing I have is a pajama top. I'm wearing it.

Wearing it over your coat? Because that sounds like a plan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Festive warm pajama top! Awesome!

Note to self: do not take 3+ hour nap after eating kadai chicken and veggie curry. I haven't had heartburn this bad in quite some time.
Family Thanksgiving was great yesterday. One of my youngest second cousins put on an impromptu singing recital for the crowd, and over 2/3 of the apple pie I baked was eaten.

No, it will be under the coat. I figure that's about as much as they can expect from me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You could wrap it around your head.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500
Posted because my analyst is out today:
So, my one sister was spending her Thanksgiving at her in-laws, and my other sister made plans to go on vacation this weekend, so it was just me and my Mom for Thanksgiving yesterday. I took the bus to NJ to my Mom’s, where she had made reservations for the two of us at a nearby restaurant.
As we were waiting for our food, my sister calls, and it turns out, my sister never went away on vacation. She had invited my Mom and I to her place, but my Mom declined, without telling me. She unilaterally decided that I wouldn’t want to go, and I wouldn’t have found out if my sister hadn’t called.
Not really my Mom’s fault, but the food was terrible. The turkey was dry and bland. Bleah.
During dinner, we had this conversation:
Mom: So have you talked to your father recently?
Me: No.
Mom: Why not?
Me: Because I don’t like him.
Mom: Why don’t you ?
Me: Because he abused me growing up.
Mom: (confused) He never beat you or anything.
Me: What he did was just as bad as beating me.
Mom: Did he berate you, the way he did your sister?
Me: (getting peeved) You were there.
I have no idea why I should be surprised, but the level of denial on my Mom’s really floored me. My analyst keeps encouraging me to confront my parents, to tell them how I feel, and I had a prime opportunity yesterday, but I didn’t. I shut the conversation down like I usually do. I was pissed, but I held everything in.
In short, worst Thanksgiving ever.
