I'm not even cooking! I'm invited---and they've promised to let me sit at the kids' table. If those little brats think they're getting any sweet potatoes, they have another think coming! They'll never know who what hit 'em.

I'm thinking of making a turkey meal anyway, just for "leftovers."

How about you?

Bottom line: I just enjoy celebrating holidays.

A hotel near me does a fantastic Thanksgiving buffet--and I do mean fantastic food. Big Thanksgiving themed helium balloons all over. Ice sculptures. Balloon artist to entertain the kiddoes. Piano playing the entire time. Everyone nicely dressed. It's very festive and pleasant, if you are in the mood for that that year. I'm also fine shoving a bird into an oven while I'm still half asleep.

"I'm also fine shoving a bird into an oven while I'm still half asleep."

"That's what she said!"

I'm almost 100% sure it's a juicy double entendre, though. (See what I did there?)

I contributed $100, bought 3 lawn signs. Total: $130.00 well spent.

I bought extra lawn signs in case some fuck face takes my sign like they did my neighbor's. If that happens, I put out TWO lawn signs. And I attach a note:

"Dear cowardly asshole: each time you take my sign I will buy two more. Thank you for making me contribute to Bernie even more."


p.s. I don't mean to demean the brother's $20.00. I just want to brag.
