Dammit. Why is it that the only time I even vaguely want to be around my family is the only time I can't? I had to work today, I have to work first thing Friday morning. Looks like I'm spending Thanksgiving alone, with no turkey. And mom I guess just assumed when I talked to her earlier that I had grand plans with people down here. Why can't I just be consistently adverse to seeing my family?

You know, both Ben and Sean are having feasts.

oh, at least you avoided the consistent family-wide coercion to marry and breed (not necessarily in that order). About 5 different relatives tried to figure out how I could find time to date.... and I'm not entirely sure how I even put out the 'vibes' that this was all okay as a conversation topic.

Granted I got to commensurate with the other 'tortured artist', and I made him carry his glass of wine into the living room with me (uh, after dinner, & during my uncle's big family-oriented speech). I told my cousin that I didn't want to look like a wino, and then I commented on the fireflies on my aunt's table runner.

"Those are a bit big, aren't they?" my cousin said. "I think they're dragonflies."

So I was a little too buzzed to observe the correct species. LOL.

hope you found something nice to eat... and that all is well otherwise...
