Hey, kids. I'm going to try turn my frown upside down and just focus on the things that make me happy. However, I just can't do that today. Maybe tomorrow will be partly sunny and cheery. Whenever I try to type something in this ding dang blog box, it becomes a pity party, table for one. I hear you playing your tiny violins.
So, how about YOU tell me what great things happened to you over Thanksgiving, eh? Tell me your lovely tales of turkey and gravy. I need some cheer.
Also, I have failed to qualify for the NaBloPoMo $5 gift certificate to Chuckie Cheese and 10% off at Jerry's World of Mattresses. If only I had blogged every day!

Love in the time of badgering

14 beautiful people muttered something back:
I had a strange/bittersweet Thanksgiving, so if you need a kavetching partner to drink and moan with... I'm here :0
Sorry you didn't win the big prize. Next year, they'll have to upgrade to Casa Bonita gift card.
Dangit! If I had known a Chuckie Cheese gift card was on the line, I would've been more vigilant about strapping you to the computer.
I got to work on Thanksgiving but as things were dead, we turned on the Telly to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and I was mortified by the lack of balloons and floats that did not contain some band or refugee from High School Musical XXI - The kids vs Freddy and Jason - lipsyncing a few lines of their new hit ditty.
I began to fall into my geezer persona and told the 20 something working with me how great the parade was in my day - realizing when it was far too late I was thinking about the Rose Bowl Parade. Crap!
Cheer up, little Buckaroo!
We don't have Thanksgiving, so no gravy boats and turkey for me. Pity really.
Instead, I shall tell you all about how Amy climbed my pantry (the kid can't walk yet, but man can she climb) pulled out the chocolate sauce, discovered she couldn't get into the chocolate sauce, had a mini tantrum and was removed from the pantry.
Cue 2 mins later, when I hear that omnious silence, I look in the kitchen to discover that she climbed the pantry and pulled out the tomato sauce bottle and was drinking from it.
All this before 7am. The joys.
Want me to blow sunshine up your ass? OK, here goes…
"Buck up little camper. We'll beat that slope, together :-)"
Better Off Dead
This movie ALWAYS puts me in a better mood. If you need to rant, drop me an email. I'm a good listener.
I must say, I found a link to your blog from lotus girl, and....you are FUNNY!!
We shared Tksgvg with friends from India and China. Our friend from India made samosas and a sweet that I can't remember the name of (galubjub-sumthin-er-other). I know it's disrespectful to forget the name, but I forget!!
We played Cranium. A good time was had by all.
Nice to meet you!
We went to visit my husband's side of the family where I thought I will NOT cook. But I wound up making the green bean casserole, corn casserole, sweet potato and apple casserole and the mac and cheese. Turned out ok.
The "sxciting" drive home would probably be the memory that will linger for this year's Thanksgiving.
We don't do Thanksgiving in Wales, but we do get live NFL so I was doing what most American's was doing and watching football, I just didn't eat lots of food before, during and after.
You mean to tell me I f'ed up my chances for a Chuckie Cheese Gift Card? Well shit.
-hh
Went to a family gathering of whining and pity parties. Great Thanksgiving day, right? Perk up and you can post your pity party on your blog, I will read it.
Judy - Let the kavetching commence. STAT.
I was really holding out for the 15% off of Hooters wings. ha.
Phil "steak or chicken" - See? You should have known, mister.
Anon - Haha! Bleah, work on Thanksgiving? I am sorry that the new kids made you twitch as you listened. Rose Bowl, Macy's Parade... it's all just roses and floating Disney characters. You are forgiven for your confusion. Hahaha.
Veronica - You should just make a turkey with gravy and fixins and call it "My Day of Thanks for Lots of Food". See if it catches on.
HA! at Amy and her antics. That kid is becoming far too clever, although I question her appetite.
Moxie-Mom - HAHAHAHAH!!!
"Two dollars. Didn't ask for a dime. Two dollars."
Stef - Thanks for stopping by! I know what your dessert was: galub jamun. It's milk balls rolled in honey and cardamom and is DELISH. I am envious of your gathering.
Marysmom - Haha. I'm sorry you were wrangled into cooking. But perhaps the dishes were to your liking since you made them?
Wandering off to read your blog...
Stephen - Thank you for continuing our American traditions. Sadly, my Thanksgiving was spent staring at the back of an airplane seat.
Heidi Hyde - Haha. Now that I've joked about there being a Chuck E. Cheese gift card, I kinda wish there was one.
Justmylife - Ah, I am sorry for your pity party surroundings. I doubt I will post the details of my situation. There are folks reading this that will not understand my plight, despite the fact that my husband agrees with me and saw all of the things I am upset about. But, that's how family goes. I'll focus on wackiness instead.
