It was next to my lunch bag, and I guess with grabbing that, my purse and my computer bag, I just thought I had everything. I might drive up there after rush hour tomorrow, park illegally, and run in real quick to get it.

D2 - pretentious - hilarious!

We are having six total for T-day! For me that is beyond boring! We just learned Friday night that we will be home for T-day. It has put Mrs. Brd over the edge. It is NOT that big of a deal. Only three of the six eat turkey. Four different invitations around here and we are going to sit at a table with SIX people! We have 52 in my extended family. Oh well! C16 plays in BIG stadium Friday!!!!!!

Happy Turkey Monday!

Six is big by my standards, Brd, as we are always only 3. Less stress, anyway. Congrats to C16's team!

I agree and I am astually pushing for no invites, but C16 and C19 want guests! I assume Mrs. Brd will invite a family who just lost their grandmother! And, big win last Friday! Could/should win on Friday, but you never know!

I miss the T-days of staying in my PJ's, watch the parade and then some holiday classics like March of the Wooden Soldiers while I cooked for my ex and me. To me that was the perfect way to spend T-day. Now it's become a tradition to pick up HC's mom and enjoy the day at my younger brother's house. Luckily my nephews are older now and don't annoy me as much. One year, pre-HC, I actually walked out before we even ate dinner. My sister-in-law, although I love her dearly, does not discipline her sons. I refused to stay in a home where children disrespect their elders. Perhaps her family allows it, but mine never did. We were raised to respect our Aunts, Uncles and all elders. If we didn't well there was a price to pay. I for one did not like paying that price.

It's looking more and more likely that I won't be driving to B'more on Thursday. I hate ^&%(! snow!

SOMMS - I am so happy that we are not driving for the first time in at least a decade!

BB - I am so happy that my kids have always been known as street angels and always act with disrespect and are also very loving to the rest of the family!

The drunk adored C16!

Poddie, you're always welcome to drive to Jersey and spend it with my dysfunctional family. Mama HC loves you.

Damn, we never see the Times down here. Big hug to Boobs on the strength of that ad, though!

HEP, thanks. *hugs* Are you going to be seeing La Mancha with our friend?

[gettinhep]

Posted: 11/24/14 at 2:33pm

I wish, Boobs. I think I'll be stuck in Melbourne. Sounds like a fresh take on the show. Our friend will be wonderful, though.

I wish I could make it there.

Morning peeps! Had a rehearsal last night for It's A Wonderful Life...I'm playing a couple of roles, but Martini is my favorite being I'm channeling grandma. So silly, but this show chokes me up.

Mornin'

MARTINI! MY FAVORITE!

I just had a very unsettling experience while getting our coffee; as I was going into Starbucks, a young black girl, maybe 17/18, was standing in front of the door, alone. She mumbled something, but she did move out of the way after I said "excuse me."

As I was leaving, she was inside the store, again standing in front of the door. Again, I said "excuse me," and this time she was quite clear: "Not for you!" And then she whacked me on my back, hard. My reaction was instantaneous, but calm. "Do not touch me."

This time, however, there was a woman, about my age, waiting for her in front of the store, her mother I'm assuming. She was very apologetic, explained the girl was autistic, and often "touched" people. She made her apologize to me. I accepted the apology as graciously as I could.

But I'm still quite shaken. I feel awful I reacted the way I did, given the girl's circumstances. But I also wonder, if she is autistic, why she was left completely alone in front of the store when it's known she has a history of striking strangers?

After last night's verdict, in that split second before I responded with "Do not touch me," all sorts of horrible scenarios whirled through my mind, beginning with "SH*T, it's starting already."

And I'm left feeling sorry for the girl and her mother, pissed off I was struck by a stranger yet still a little ashamed of my knee-jerk reaction, grateful it wasn't worse, fearful for what might be coming, angry at the state of the world, confused why it has to be this way.

Sorry Deet you had to go through that. I understand your reaction though...it's a normal reaction when someone touches us unprovoked...especially with all that is going on with Ferguson. I'm sure the mother understood too.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 11/25/14 at 11:15am

That is upsetting. Autism is a dreadful condition.

What is it only Tuesday? C21 and her BF should be in by Noon. Mrs. Brd has the fatted calf ready!

Morning peeps! After a 2 hour commute home last night I am not happy to be back here this morning. Hopefully this day won't be as long. Still need to grocery shopping for yams. My family will disown me if I don't make the souffle. Hmmmm on second thought.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 11/26/14 at 8:59am

I am hoping for some traffic blessings today as well. Another 7:30 AM call with my European counterparts, and I do not think things are going well. Next family is in town for a few days.

Maybe it is time to embrace the booze again.

Happy Turkey Day Eve Adults!

'Morning, all!

Why did I choose to put off grocery shopping to a day when it's pouring rain outside? Also need to get Hubby an anniversary gift, which might entail a trek to the *shudder* mall.

Boobs - if you have to work tomorrow, your family should excuse you from any and all food contributions!

Mooney - C21 had car problems, I took a cab home to pick them up in Indiana, but issue resolved and she arrived at 2:30 - we finished the shopping.

Kids are home each with their boyfriends. First T-Day in Chicago for maybe a decade. My sister is having only her husband tomorrow after hosting for ten years. Sad since our parents are gone this year!

Have a great day all! Root for C16 on Friday!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 11/26/14 at 10:08am

Well, now I'm not going out in the rain - I'm going out in the f-ing SNOW. That was a fast change-over!

Brd - all good thought's to C16 and that school I have a great fondness for! Happy Thanksgiving to all the Brds and their guests!

[Broadwayboobs]

Moony, I would not be allowed into my brother's home without that souffle.

Teach HC to make it.
