First - I apologize to everyone for my extended absence. There are reasons, I assure you. One - I've been far too crabby for several reasons to even try to bring the funny. And two - I've had too much to say to know what to say.
But enough of my sissy girl whining! How are YOU? Eileen - I must apologize. I have had something here in a box to send to you for a couple of weeks now, and getting to the post office seems to be too difficult a task. It's coming, my sistah, I swear, no matter how ill-timed!
Everyone gearing up for my FAVORITE holiday of the year? Some of you lame-o's like Christmas for all the gifts and decorating and whatnot. Well you've got it wrong, my friends...Thanksgiving is where it's at! A holiday about FOOD, are you kidding me? Does it get any better? I think not. Oh sure, some of you could argue that it's a holiday about reflection and giving thanks (hence the name) but this, this is a holiday not tied to religion, not tied to Hallmark (even though they try and make it so) - it's tied to FOOD. Traditional food. Turkey and mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and STUFFING - has bread EVER tasted so.damn.good??? My stomach is just grumbling thinking about it!
And this Thanksgiving is awesome because we're in Chesterton with my family this year which means TURKEY BOWLING!! Yes! I love bowling on Thanksgiving. It's brilliant. And it keeps with my bowling on Thursday night theme, so hopefully I won't be too off my game when I bowl with my team in 2 weeks.
AND the Steelers have won two weekends in a row babies! It's gotta be because I'm carrying my new Steelers bowling bag, which totally rocks.
Quick (maybe not so much) update:
The sock hop fiasco worked out better than I could have dreamed. Owen did slow dance with his not-girlfriend, and then got yelled at by her friends for putting his hand "too low." Brandon's girlfriend broke up with him by cussing him out on the dance floor for reasons that we do not know. Luke's girlfriend broke up with him because he's an unworthy boyfriend because he won't kiss her! The DRAMA of it all!!! I decided not to go, well, because I had $9,000 worth of popcorn to sort in my basement. But when I did show up and the boys acosted me with this information I looked at them all and simply said "Was it worth it?" They worried their little heads off about these fourth grade girls who are trying to be 16 year old girls and when all was said and done they decided it was the worst.sock.hop.ever. So I told them to start a new boys club, the kind that doesn't worry about girls. They seemed pretty happy about that.
So hopefully my laptop comes in today, kids, because I'm leaving on a jet plane Monday and won't see my house again until December 3rd. Four days in NYC - where I will get to see the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Center. Bonus! Then off to Pittsburgh, PA for Grandma's 90th birthday and visiting with relatives. I haven't been 'home' since Easter, so I'm kind of excited to go back and visit with the fam.
Love you all like I would marry you.

Actually back to work part-time and reading on the job (gasp!) Yes, looking forward to Thanksgiving, but have to cast my vote for July 4 as my fave holiday.
Natty (my 10-year-old Nathaniel, but we call him Natty) told me he had a dream last night that he and Austin were fighting over Sammi, a girl they both have a crush on. "Does Sammi know that Austin likes him?" I asked. "Yes, but she told Emily that it's just futile." Seriously - he said that. Then he said, "I think when boys decide to have a crush on a girl they are just asking for a load of heartache." Truer words were never spoken by a 10-year-old.
Have a great trip. I've never been to NYC so take pics and we'll live vicariously through you.
Glad you are back. Sorry you are having trouble finding joy to bring to us, but never fear, we will amuse ourselves making fun of you...XXOOXXOO...Have a blast in NYC, I too, am doing a first this year, Big R and I are going to Chicago to see the lights and I am sooooo excited.
Now, something for you to make fun of me...I got rid of my mustache. What a freaky thing that was. I feel bald. I was sitting in my car and the sun was shining just right, and my makeup was all powdery and I look in the rearview mirror, and said to myself, "what the fuck are all those wrinkles" and I looked closer and as the screams were coming to a close, I realized that it was my mustache, and damn if that fucker didn't just say "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" so I went to Walgreens (my favorite store on earth) and got a facial hair remover, and in 3 minutes, the fucker was gone, but now my upper lip feels weird, and my bare minerals makeup goes up my nose easy now, and I don't think I will do it again.
Would marry you.
Oh yeah and Jimmer, I know you are going to think that was HOTTTT!!!
