POST TURKEY DAY SURVIVAL

Managed to survive a four day weekend with family and significant other. It was all good. Went to the in-laws…. Well, as close to in-laws as they’ll get at this point. *GIGGLE* Spent Thursday there, had a huge dinner. Somehow the giant pot of cauliflower and broccoli was overlooked. It was pretty easy to do, a table full of food, more than anyone would be able to eat in one sitting or two or three, could possibly have run out by number four. Heck, there were nine people at the table and there was plenty left over and that did not include the dessert table. Adam’s Aunt began calling me Aunt Tammy for the sake of simplicity or something. Adam’s brother has a daughter and she looks at me like an Aunt I guess. She’s a good kid, smart, entertaining, and well behaved for the most part. I cannot complain about her at all.

Friday consisted of going to Dad’s where I got the latest of the electronic toys he has chosen to get rid of and not sell on e-bay. I guess he figures I have an appreciation for such things. Since I don’t have children that won’t tear the shit up that he gives me, I must be a safe bet on taking care of said toys that he’s giving away. Dad and the sister are still not talking to each other. Dad still hates sister’s third husband. Dad is stubborn and does not agree with sister’s choices. Dad needs to get over it and go see his grandchildren. Dad is not going to live forever and Dad should realize that. Seeing Dad this past Friday kinda shocked me a little. He’s gotten gray hair, he’s looking older now, and he’s looking his age rather than 10-15 years younger than he really is. I find that disturbing, yet it’s a part of life no one can escape.

Heard from Mom over the weekend. We talked for a bit and planned to see each other for Christmas at the sister’s house. I look forward to seeing her. I am sure she’ll have a few cans of Jelly Belly Beans for Adam and me. I guess because she’s found something cheap that she knows we both like, she buys them for us and mails them off to us whenever she gets the chance. Never mind the fact that we hit Meijer for about 5 pounds of our own mixes at a time. Mom is Mom and Mom likes giving.

Meanwhile, two dinners worth of leftovers sorta remain in the fridge at the moment. Crock Pot full of 15 Bean mix and soon to be ham bones and meat are now slow cooking on the counter top. Perhaps this will put the last of leftovers to rest or wind up pitched in the garbage. Mmmm Beans!

The rest of the weekend consisted of Adam and me, snuggles here and there, a movie, some more snuggles, dirty books at Borders, snuggles, cleaning, shopping, working on stuff around the house, some snuggles, reading, and sleep. Did I mention snuggles? Don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that. Snuggles are good. So that’s the post Turkey Day revel. Hope you had a nice Holiday!!!

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin...
