November 25th
Run away from work at 4 and get on the road down to Houston. Drive like a demon through the Texas countryside and arrive in Katy, TX by 8:30. Not too shabby! That's even with the Conroe traffic. I only used the lords name in vain 3 times on that stretch of road.
Get greeted by my mother on the doorstep and walk inside to find my brother from Sweden and his lady. Stay up late catching up and eating cheese and pickle sandwhiches. Nothing better then sharp cheddar, kosher dills, and old fashioned mustard.

Sleep in. Do nothing. Get a pedicure. Go to and Indian dinner and see Happy Go Lucky. What a great film! I love Mike Leigh. Stop really late by Walmart and pick up a copy of Twilight.
Side story - my friend Rhonda is a high school drama teacher. Her kids are addicted to this book, and she brought it to the llama farm to read so she could relate with them. I picked up and could not put it down. My craving for it for so bad I bought my own copy in Houston.
Proceed to get back into reading Twilight and stay up overly, overly late. My love for pre-teen literature knows no bounds.
November 27th
Sleep in. Get on the couch at around 10 am and proceed to watch the Macy's parade and read Twilight. Stay sitting on the couch through the Purina dog show. Finally, pick myself up and put on a dress for lunch. Go to lunch buffet, huffing the whole time. Thanksgiving is not supposed to be a go out for buffet kind of holiday for me. I prefer to home cook, but oh well. Mom didn't want to this year.
Spy an eight year old at the table next to us reading my book. Ask her how she likes it. Proceed to have a ten minute conversation with an 8 year old at a Thanksgiving buffet about the teenage, vampire, romance novel we are both reading.
She said the movie was not as good. Hmmm, I still think I'm going to go see it.
Go home and take a 4 hour nap. Stay up late reading and talking to my brother about how we have addictive personalities.
November 28th
Discover that my mother had gotten a free ham and turkey from the super market. She didn't want to cook for Thanksgiving so she froze them. Proceed to watch mother defrost said Turkey and Ham and cook them. Think to myself "why did we go to the buffet?"
Shake my head, go shopping for HOURS, come home, nap, and then meet up with good, old Claire. CLAIRE. I love her. She is officially so tired of being hounded by men, she is now wearing lesbian paraphenalia. She has a ring and a bracelet. I don't think many lesbians would be happy about that seeing as she is a stone, cold heterosexual female. I suggested she just get a fake wedding ring. She said men would find that more attractive and a challenge. I thought men would find the lesbian stuff attractive and a challenge too, but she disagreed.
November 29th
Wake up at a decent time, pack, load up the car with new clothes and a ton of food my mom cooked on FRIDAY (????) and drive home. Arive at said home which smelled like something had just died.
Spend hours cleaning out fridge, throwing out trash, and spraying lysol.
Sleep.

I just started Twilight last night. It's delicious. Where was this stuff when we were preteens? Kids today - they don't know how good they got it ;)
Twilight...oh jeez...it's gotten a hold of you too.
And I think all men are constantly sizing up challenge and attractiveness, be it lesbian, married woman (or married man), or sheep. It's our bit. It's what we do.
Sounds like a great Thanksgiving... but gotta agree with the "wtf" moment. Why eat buffet because you don't want to cook, but then cook anyhow the next day?!? Hmmm...
