It is 65 degrees in the Midwest. I brought only winter clothes so I am sweating profusely and doing my best to control the urge to stand with my face in the freezer whenever the opportunity arises. Despite my constant sweating, I am enjoying myself. The DVD player made our trip relatively painless and there are three bottles of red wine sitting atop my Mother-In-Laws kitchen counter. Just the site of them brings me great comfort. I have to enjoy my wine outside, though, in the evenings or I will sweat to death.
We had a great Thanksgiving and I was one of the raving lunatics who braved the mall on Black Friday so I have oodles of material stored in the old noggin. I don't have much time because my In-Laws have dial-up and their Internet Service Provider tends to spontaneously disconnect. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and safe travels. Here's to tryptophan and red wine, the staples of any good Thanksgiving celebration!
What? No shout outs to Aunt Becky for the 4:45AM wakeup call on Black Friday????
ReplyDeleteHey J- that is funny, my mom was dealing w/ the same thing well, opposite though here in Chatt. she came in town on Sunday, didn't bring any warm clothes or a coat. Funny! Is this the family that draws names for Christmas? If so, maybe they could have redrawn names w/ you guys present?? I was thinking this a couple of days ago. Anyway, hope you guys arrive safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteA. Becky-
ReplyDeleteFret not. It's coming.
Katb-
ReplyDeleteYes, we are home safe and sound enjoying the spring-like weather. The reason that we draw names pre-Thanksgiving is so that I can get all of our shopping done before we head up there and save on shipping. So, alas, we will continue to get screwed.
