Another Lynn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good Morning! I slept in until 6:30. Woo-Hoo. Susan, Elephant Ninja throat punchers at your sevice. What the heck? Defective y chromosome? Tex, I'm so impressed with your self-control. I think sitting behind fans would have inspired me to join them in vocalizing displeasure at the calls. I have Lamb's and Nesbit's Shakespeare. Maybe I will add some after Christmas. Renai, cyber sales are only a couple days away now, but I highly suspect they will not benefit the two carts I have filled on two currently opened tabs. Because I'm optimistic like that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 For Renai.....to wait for Friday or to buy now: I just googled "site name black friday special" and found out one site will give me free shipping. Yay. My other cart is at amazon and I already have free shipping there and no big ticket items. I think waiting doesn't help me much. YMMV. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Lynn is awesome! I am awake. I think I have sympathetic headache syndrome. (((Dawn))) I don't know where I'd be without my elephant ninja posse. Probably curled up in a ball in the corner of my closet. :D It is Wednesday Prep Day! Must make pumpkin pie, mix together 2 casseroles, make the salad dressing, and check on the turkey's thawing progress. And go to the store and library. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo hoo, great self control. So, did they win? Or did I miss it as I was reading last night half awake? Yeah, gift giving idea website would be great. I am lost. Today, I have to shower, go to store, go to rehab and visit thil, and try to figure out about tomorrow. SIL is having thanksgiving for dh's family, but it is in a barn with heat.

MarkW Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have to buy more pie and whipped cream because I've already eaten most of it since Saturday. Also, here's a non-sequitur that will either make you angry or that you'll completely ignore: I loathe the "DD", "DS", "DH" abbreviations on parenting and family forums across the internet. It just reeks of Stepford Family forced pleasantness to me. Why am I alone in this?! I did no latch hooking last night because I got a copy of Star Wars: Battlefront. This game is not healthy for me. So many hours already... omg. I can't believe that graphics like this are even possible on a gaming console. Kids today are spoiled. :-P It's going to be a latch hook happy Thanksgiving, and then on to the soldering wires onto a glove while I wear it (to make sure everything's positioned correctly and fits right it really can't be... uhh.. flaccid.) Oh and I accidentally served the frozen peas I had meant for peas and onions with dinner last night. I can't wait to see what sort of disaster zone my local grocery store looks like a part of when I get there in a couple of hours... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Glad you are feeling better, Dawn. My significant other went out to the store to buy me some Gatorade in case I am dehydrated. I DO feel a little better already! I heart my husband, who, despite having the middle name Wayne, is not a notorious murderer. (That was for you, Mark. I took out the "dee aitch". :D) Mark, Next time you will know to buy at least double the expected pie-need quantity. Plus you need extra for breakfast on Friday. It's a real thing and recommended by ITT! P.S. I will grab any frozen peas I can find you. It is important to work in teams over the holidays. Glad you are feeling better, Dawn.

And dh is not a notorious murderer either. :hurray: (I added a couple more dhs just for you, Mark.):D My dh finally came home 2 and a half hours late last night. It was ok because dh was getting a new kitchen table and chairs. However when I feel bad, it seems dh is always somewhere else. Dd16 is going to the mall today with her friend. Ds20 is home and doesn't have to work until Saturday, I think. Little dd and ds are awake. Should I keep little ds and Dd home tomorrow or go to thanksgiving in a barn?

Openhearted Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So the new table and chairs was given to us by a sil. Not one of the clean freak, super fancy sils, but still fancy but extremely nice. The chairs are upholstered in cream upholstery!!!!! Ugh!!!!! I loved my old table with ceramic tiles on top and none of the chairs matched.:( You could go straight from the stove top or oven without a towel under it. Very user friendly and comfortable. This table is not user friendly, and comes with two leafs (or leaves, things you use to make it longer.) We have had our table since we built our house in 1998.

Our homeschool area is the dining room so we do not need or use a table there. Don't let furniture become an albatross. Kick that baby out!
