Oh crap, I should think about some conversational topics for tomorrow. So there's the Patriots and the weather...
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe I can just stick to talking Serial with my cousin and avoid the other side of the family.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going to Gary's mom's house for Thanksgiving, as usual. I suspect it will be just the three of us, so conversation won't be too dangerous. (Boring, if genealogy stuff gets discussed, perhaps.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, maybe a shelter or something might take the comics for kids. There may not be enough alcohol to survive Thanksgiving.
Costco this close to Thanksgiving? I am not that brave.
I had to run out and pick up a few things today and I hated every second of both stores.
msbelle, whenever Liv is angry with me, she facetimes me to tell me how disappointed in me she is. I have video evidence.

You know, I'm kind of looking forward to working tomorrow and not having to make conversation with people I barely know. I appreciate the offers I've received from people who don't want me to be alone, but I don't want to be That Guest.
In any case, work is bringing in the basics of a Thanksgiving Dinner, and I'll have people I've at least known for a few years around me, so it's a more convivial T-day than I've had in years (Hubby and I always went to a buffet and tipped big).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Pie crust is made and in the fridge. I am trying to talk myself into baking the pies (pecan) tonight rather than tomorrow morning.

Punishingly Intricate
For the last couple of years we've culled our book collection every so often and passed on ones we didn't want to keep to our high school teacher friend for her classroom library. (Her city school library has a pretty dismal selection.) The kids especially love the comic books and graphic novels.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
eBay is not a good option for me, because I am horrible at getting packages in the mail.
I am v v bad at this also, as you know because you still haven't gotten your necklace. Why is something that's so simple, so hard? Sorry... shame face

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am rushing everything so not chilling my pie crust dough. So far I have made one batch regular and one batch gluten free. Neither cooperated with getting into the pie pans, so like most years, I have Frankencrusts.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So far, I have cooked butternut squash and chestnut casserole, and I've got cornbread baking now. Tomorrow, I will make green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and put the t shame frozen apple pie t /shame in the oven. (There was a limit to how much I could cook, and cutting all the apples for the apple pie was where I decided to draw the line. Plus, I can buy a vegan frozen pie -- most of the other stuff can't be bought vegan.)
