Went to a friend's house for dinner, I made ham and cheese in puff pastry for appetizer and John made sweet bread (not sweet breads) for dessert. We had SO much food it was ridiculous. By the time we got to the meal we were so full with all the apps I could not even finish my dinner.

When we got home I put on "Love Actually" for the first time this season. Now just trying to sleep. Unsuccessfully.

I made everything without recipes this year and it was better than ever. I have 9.5 pounds of turkey left, I think. I am now at Walmart with a comforter set and a set of Paula Deen cookware in my cart while waiting in line for a digital camera. I think I somehow got much older this year.

I had a mini meltdown when BritGuy spilled a martini all over me early on (forcing me to change my perfectly coordinated outfit) and then during dinner kept slamming his hands down on our glass dining room table and banging his feet on the floor.

Later I had a major meltdown when my "friend" of 35 years made a stunningly offensive homophobic comment about me and my HS circle, under the guise of "wit." I lost it, told her off and then stormed out of the apartment. Without shoes. Thank God for J2, Miss P and Caldwell - they were all magnificent - J2 even brought a pair of shoes down to the lobby for me, and he thought enough to bring a pair that matched my new, also perfectly coordinated, outfit.

After I calmed down enough to go back upstairs she did "apologize," and I accepted as graciously as I could. But that relationship is now toast. (And the subject of my next play, to be written without BritGuy.)

I'm now thankful that yesterday, as well as Angela, is history.

WOW Deet...sorry that happened...why do people have to be such idiots?

I had a perfect Thanksgiving with wonderful "framily"...that's my new term I came up with yesterday..I combined friends and family together because these friends, like most of you, have changed from friends to family. Actually it just came out of my mouth by accident because I can't speak correctly and my friend decided that it was a perfect word.

Morning.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I have thirteen days to transform this place into a Christmas showcase before our first party.

Alcohol may be involved in this process.

I went a little crazy. I think I left $90 in my checking account, but my shopping is pretty much done.

The Swede may be coming to the US next week. We just can't reach a decision we are comfortable with. Her mother does not support us. She cries every time C mentions us as a couple. I don't want her to have to stay there with her mom and be miserable over the holidays, but we also don't want to leave her mom alone. It's tough. If you are so inclined, cross your fingers, say a prayer, light a candle... whatever you do.

JG2...I'm mailing cement shoes to Sweden as an early Christmas gift for C's mom. Just tell C to put them on her and drive to the nearest bridge...the shoes will do the rest.

I had a pretty nice Thanksgiving. My cousin was mostly on her best behavior when it came to her grandkids or how her daughter's were doing things. No major smarta$$ remarks were made. That is not always the case. She doesn't realize that her "helpful hints" sound like criticizing, no matter how much I try to drill it into her head. Tone of voice is everything.

Her girls did a great job with dinner, too! Little Baileigh "made" the Autumn Harvest mix and Myles made chocolate chip cookies for one of our desserts.

I spy a familiar face in the stage door pics from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC (with Ms. Zeta-Jones.)

Oh, you know Bundy5000 too, Q?

Ha!

And I have to ask, what exactly is Catherine wearing on her finger - it looks like a giant, purple, Cracker-Jack decoder ring!

Morning. Off to gym. Then a potential shooting spree. Or shoe-ing.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 11/27/09 at 12:39pm

Ha! I just saw the pictures of a little night music and I spied an old friend too

Posted: 11/27/09 at 12:44pm

And he looks so HAPPY to be dealing with the hordes!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 11/27/09 at 12:47pm

LOL...I thought the same thing Q...poor guy looks like he is going to go postal.

It might just be his 'I mean business' face so that people take him seriously.

Why am I thinking of Mr. Potato Head?

"I need my 'angry' eyes!"

Ha! And it's only just begun for him! We might have to dip into the bail fund...

Wow - Deet has the best party entertainment! I can't tghik of a single Thanksgiving dinner story i've ever heard that beats that one. Britguy is still around?

Yesterday was nice here. I had to devise a dinner that took into account 1) Weight Watchers 2) those who were gluten-free 3) those who were dairy-free 4) those who were all of the above. It was different, but still good and I still managed to lose a half a pound this week and no one was rushed to the hospital. You can't ask for much more than that. After dinner we all went to see The Blind Side, which awas very enjoyable.

Oh, and hubby gave me "Mannahatta - A Natural History of Manhattan" as an anniversary gift.

Moony - I want to get that book, as well. It was profiled in National Geographic, and the excerpt was fascinating!

Sounds like you had a perfect day too Moony. *grabs Moony and dances to "I'll be seeing you..."
