I believe in the dumping of family on major holidays.
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
Anyone who wants to have dinner here? Is totally welcome.
Anyone who wants to come by for dessert? Is totally welcome.
All I ask is about three or four days advance notice, to make certain there is food for miles.
There always is, or always has been; last year we were augmented by the addition of two steam trays (yes, steam trays), prepped by my daughter's boyfriend's personal chef (yes, personal chef, and the general consensus is that his cooking isn't nearly as good as mine), adding something with yams (I'm allergic, so I don't cook them) and a baked mac and cheese, which made many many people happy.
I'm thinking of adding a harvest tart this year. Yum. But it depends on whether I can fnd tiny tiny champagne grapes.
I'm just saying.
Oh, oh, pick me, pick me! I may be in SF for T'day, if I am not hiding, but either way, you are welcome to come stay with me while you are in LA.
Oh, I don't think I responded to this. Thanks, Lee, I'd be very pleased to stay with you in L.A.
Oh dear, Deb's talking about food again.
Weeps.
If the election does not turn out the way I hope it does (I can't even type the phrase "____ wins," for fear of jinxing it), I'm very tempted to hop a plane and spend Thanksgiving elsewhere, because my extended family will be unbearable.
Tep, you are more than welcome here. And we're within driving distance! (barely)
you can come to Columbus!
Thanks, Lee, I'd be very pleased to stay with you in L.A.
Yay!
Makes note to stop for cleaning supplies on the way home.

Steph cleaned her apartment too. Is this a vibe I give off? Have I created the impression that I'm a germ freak or something?
I can't speak for Steph, BT, but for me, it was purely a reflection on me, along the lines of, "Oh my god, I haven't been able to see the guest bed since my massive laundry project a few weeks ago, and now I have an actual guest on the way." I'd react the same way for anyone.
