i need sweet potato pie with ginger now...



maybe i'll just get one of those sweet potatoes wrapped up to microwave and throw some ginger and cinnamon butter in it or something

11/21/2010 4:17:45 PM

those are such a rip off. unless you want to eat it RIGHT NOW. then i guess it isn't.

11/21/2010 5:15:40 PM

Working


All day


At least I'll hopefully make $$

11/21/2010 5:56:02 PM

Do you make time and a half for working Thanksgiving?

11/21/2010 5:56:50 PM

Don't think so.... Haven't asked though. And time and a half is still only $3

11/21/2010 5:59:12 PM

^^ I did when I worked at Starbucks, but they were always pretty good about giving out time and a half.

11/21/2010 7:20:44 PM

blah

after thinking about it more, i think i might just not make anything and skip thanksgiving. which is totally possible since my family is going out to eat and i already elected not to be included in the reservation.

i am going to be "sick" on thursday. and i will eat my own snacks and watch movies and football all day and maybe run the turkey trot.

I burned the bread for Thanksgiving last night

So it will be turned into stuffing

11/22/2010 10:26:52 AM

i want to make my own personal thanksgiving with all the things i like

i have tried to be positive and have failed so i'm going to join everyone else in grinch land and whine about the holidays now

whine whine whine

WHINE

unless i'm eating my own supper. deliciously prepared by me with all of the sides i like.

11/22/2010 5:29:13 PM

Going out to eat for Thanksgiving seems lame. Or silly. Or odd. Or AWESOME. But probably lame.

11/22/2010 5:31:50 PM

khcadwal, i thought you had a ton of sides planned? what happened?

11/23/2010 7:34:41 AM

^^^I'm sure you will be missed.

I've done it twice. The first time was lame because the only reason we were eating out was my parents had a huge fight and my mom refused to cook dinner

The second time was awesome because we went to Irregardless for dinner because the oven blew up a couple days before Thanksgiving They have an A+++ Thanksgiving menu.

But afterward it was lame because there were no leftovers to make turkey sandwiches out of

11/23/2010 10:02:00 AM

i am dreading driving tomorrow. it's already going to be a longer than usual drive, but if they are still doing construction on I40 tomorrow evening i am going to blow my brains out.

i think so, too. no leftovers for one. and my fam always goes to the country club and the food (we've done this several times, but sporadically over the years so i'm sure its not always disgusting, but it seems like it has been everytime I'VE gone) is gross. so i dunno. i'm just not into it.

11/23/2010 9:02:15 PM

Turkey is in the oven and Macy's parade is on the TV

11/25/2010 10:22:46 AM

Oh how I love this day...my mom has already gone nuclear on the family a couple times.

Football in 40 minutes though

11/25/2010 11:48:46 AM

I just made french toast and sausage and burned the sausage and the pan and dropped the french toast on the floor.

11/25/2010 11:50:38 AM

Don't worry its still good

11/25/2010 12:00:58 PM

5 second rule.

11/25/2010 1:47:09 PM

yeah, I put it back in the frying pan for a minute

11/25/2010 1:52:15 PM

mom's still worrying about things, even though all the food is packed away and the guests are long gone

grandma is snoring on the couch in the living room

stepdad is snoring in the front room

i'm thinking of breaking out early to avoid more badgering - "Are you dating anyone?" "Have you gained weight?" "What happened to your last boyfriend?" "Are you happy?" Blah, blah blah...

Same shit, different year, lol. But I've had a pretty decent time.

Who wants to hang out tonight?

11/25/2010 4:03:40 PM

k and i are wishing you all a happy happy thanksgiving!

11/25/2010 4:23:29 PM

Had a nice lunch with some extended family. Now watching some football at home by myself and then heading out to Saucer for a few drinks!

** And reading this thread, I guess even though I take it for granted I'm really thankful that I have an amazing family and never dread going home for any holidays or gatherings. I really miss being able to see my family every holiday but that's the life of a grown-up.

11/25/2010 6:36:51 PM

11/25/2010 6:42:15 PM

i need a drink. or 5. and i didn't even see my family.

11/25/2010 6:50:26 PM

if i hadn't promised to pick up a friend from the airport here on saturday i would head home tomorrow. i don't know what my problem is. too much family really makes me feel stressed.

11/25/2010 7:11:18 PM

if i didn't say i'd come in and work a 1/2 day tomorrow (cause i want the money) i'd totally go out tonight. booo on that decision. but i will love my paycheck when it comes.

11/25/2010 7:14:40 PM

nephew: "the dog tried to bite me"
me: "what'd you do to the dog?"
nephew: "grabbed her head while she was sleeping"

11/25/2010 7:28:01 PM

Shit, I've been alone all day and there's still drama!

him: "My family is sort of upset you didn't come out even though it's your only day off and you're sick"

Also, he told me he was coming home tonight so I thought I'd at least see someone and get some leftovers maybe, at 5 I text him asking when he will be home, he says MONDAY MORNING. wtf? So. Pissed.

Fuck holidays.

Well last night ended up being a disaster.

Turns out the shitty oven in my apartment doesn't get above 200 degrees, even when you crack the dial up to 500 degrees. We cooked that turkey for 12 hours and it still wasn't done I had to cut off slices from the breast and pan cook them in broth just so we'd have some to eat. I'm so pissed off right now. What do y'all think my chances of having the complex give me a new oven are?
