ChibiHorsewoman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 [quote name='SaiyanPrincessX'][SIZE="1"] My dad will probebly make turkey, stuffing, deviled eggs, and all the other traditional thanksgiving foods.

Nathan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 [FONT="Arial"]I managed to get time off from work so I'll be driving home Wednesday afternoon and then returning on Saturday. I tried to get the whole weekend off but oh well, at least I got the main days off. I didn't manage to get last year off so going to see my family will be nice. What makes this year special is my girlfriend is going with me. I'm both excited and nervous about her meeting my parents and siblings.

Trust me any family as sane as they can be can still manage to emberass you. Okay so most of you probably don't have a (former) mother-in-law who got herself pissed (drunk) at your wedding reception or a grandma (may she rest in peace) who engages in pro-life demonstrations and tells people how terrible it is that Muslims don't know about Jesus. But everyone has family who will inadvertantly emberass them at one point or another.

I don't have a problem with her knowing some of the stupid things I did as a kid.

A fire that resulted in burning the entire building down. =P [QUOTE=ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff']Trust me any family as sane as they can be can still manage to emberass you.

I guess I didn't convey that right, I want the visit to be a nice experience for her, I'm already use to my family's paticular brand of wackiness. Anyway, I think that about covers it really.

Raiha Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 [COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]So I have nothing to do until December 1st and I have the house to myself until this Friday afternoon. Thus, I'm extending an open invitation to my friends who read this and happen to be in the area. If people want to drop by any time this week I'll be home with tea, mulled apple cider, and food. Lots of food. When the weather gets cold I cook. Thanksgiving I'll be cooking and eating around 4 or 5, so if anyone wants to come by, they're totally welcome. Come earlier and help me cook and you'll get freebies. Come later and eat and you'll get to do the dishes. You decide. The menu for Thanksgiving day is as follows; Lemon salt Turkey Biscuits Steamed broccoli with cheddar cheese Garlic cheese potatoes Apple cider with cinnamon sticks Pumpkin pie Creme Bruleé First come first served.

Davlloarm Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well lets see for thanksgiving, I'm going to my parents house. My plans have changed I originally was staying home, and pulling the frozen thanksgiving dinner thing, because me and my mother were fighting. But things got better so I'm going there and My aunt from denver is coming into town and my Grandmother came to town. Pretty much just a family dinner. The way it should be I think.

ChibiHorsewoman Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 [color=#9933ff]Anyone want to go to my daughter's babysitter's for an after Thanksgiving party? I can't go because I have to go back to work. BUt my mom is going. She'll have prizes and snacks. I even made cupcakes- but since my car was in the shop today and I needed sleep and it was raining/snowing they have Tinkerbell wrappers on them. BUt hey, I think they're just as festive as ever. :animesigh Oh and as for left overs. I'm hoping my mom makes her stuffing so I can share that with a couple I used to take care of. Other left overs will be taken to work on Friday because I have a sixteen hour shift on Black Friday. Saturday... oh Saturday will be fun because I do the monthly 1/2 hour visit with my daughter's other grandma in a house that smells like stale cigarettes and cat err... leavings :animeswea. But after that it's McDonald's and the Strong Museum.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 [SIZE="1"]Thankfully I have tomarrow and friday off from work. The past few years they always had a couple people come in to work the day after thanksgiving. I'm having thanksgiving here at my dad's tomarrow. My aunt and my dad's girlfriend will be coming aswell. So tomarrow morning I'll workout, maybe do some last minute cleaning, then shower. They're suppose to be here at 2pm. Friday my brother and I are going to our mom's. Shes making tacos, lol. Shes so unconventional. Her and my step dad make really good mexican food, and its authentic. She lives an hour away so we stay the night and usually come home late saturday, usually around 11pm.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We almost bought some pre-made meals at some restaurant for one hundred dollars, but I managed to talk my parents into just cooking since we already had all of the ingredients. (They wanted to save some of it, like the turkeys for Christmas.) A lot more cleaning afterwards, but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
