Well, it’s a slow Friday so I thought I’d open up the blog to an open thread.
Discuss what you wish but be mindful of our rules and blogging etiquette.
If you don’t mind a tidge of self-promotion, I’ve got a new crafts blog at: http://craftymanolo.com
It’s been going for a couple weeks now, and I’m having a blast.
Also? I am going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving with good friends, good food, lots of critters, and a couple defunct bunnies to take home and cook at my leisure. Life is good right now.

Good for you! I’m glad you’re going to have a good holiday week.
This blog has been patient in listening to my woes and rambles and although I have not commented in a while, I still read.
I am happy to say since I last commented things have been MUCH better! I finally have food and medicine assistance for my two young children and I, my Mom are getting along better, my Brother and his Wife moved out, I have a vehicle now and the household is in a much more peaceful and happy state.
There’s still some stress but hey, it keeps us on our toes! Thanks for listening!

It’s ok that you haven’t commented because we haven’t posted. hahaha
I’m glad things are looking better for you right now. Sometimes stress does keep us on our toes but I’m glad you’ve been able to relieve some of yours. I’m sure your toes are sore. 🙂
Woot! It’s Friday! I work tomorrow, but I still get excited for Fridays. I get to sleep in a whole hour tomorrow! Plenty to get excited for. Ha!
Doing a potluck for Thanksgiving and husband wants to cook a ham instead of turkey…cannot wait! BFF is making white sangria! We stopped doing family stuff ages ago, so having our closest friends is so much more fun and zero stress!
My best to all! ❤

That sounds lovely. Sometimes the best traditions are new traditions. We have turkey every Thanksgiving and only my mother-in-law is a fan of it.
White sangria!?! Yummy! You can post the recipe if you are so inclined. 😉
Well, this next week is not very welcomed in our household.
See, my husband’s birthday is Monday, November 22. It’s not marked in a very good way in our family. He always dreads it. As a matter of fact, he sent me a text this morning saying he dreads his birthday.
My father died on his birthday in 1999 and then we had to put down our very loving wonderful dog on his birthday in 2001. I try very hard not to bring up the sadness and to be honest, I think we’re over the grief…it’s just that it’s like he’s waiting for the “other shoe to drop”, so to speak. He dreads it because he wonders what bad thing will happen this year.
If we can make it through Monday I think it will all be downhill from there. Wish us luck!
😦
His birthday will be good, I’ll keep you all in my thoughts.

I am kinda of in a bummed mood today because I will be spending Thanksgiving alone this year. I was going to have it with BF and his family but his sister took ill and they are all trooping several hours away to stay the 4 day weekend with her. I cant go because this is the week I have my thesis to do and need close access to my research library. My family is a flight away as well so I could not go there. I had a second T day with a friend but she decided to go to her bro’s, she invited me but her sister in law is a real hateful wanker. You know its one thing to put up with YOUR family and quite another to put up with another’s. Also, I dont want to feel like the hangers on loser with nowhere else to go. I tried even volunteering at a place I knew to be open for T day but they said they had all the volunteers they needed. All other opportunities seem to be on other days than T day.
So I will be spending it alone and I am bummed about it. Trying not to let it trigger me into total loser depression 😦

Sounds like a great day to watch movies and veg out. Read a book. Take a long hot bubble mouth. Write some long letters to send through snail mail. Get your Christmas cards ready to send out. Shop online. Journal. Write down what you’re thankful for. Fix yourself an awesome dinner for one…what YOU want, not the traditional stuff (unless that’s what you want).
Just some suggestions. I hope you don’t let it trigger you into total loser depression either!
