I'm having bacon and eggs for my second breakfast. It's really a whole lot of bacon and an egg.

I finally figured out that the last two lines of the chorus of the song they sing in the Curious George Christmas movie are:

Sing it with me

Or if you're a monkey, hum.

 

Now comes the hard part:  convincing DD of this, so she'll stop singing "I hear a monkey come."

Lol! I need to convince DD that replacing every word of every song with "poop" isn't hilarious. Except it is.

So true, so true.

Yea we did that this year, snatched up the 2014 vacation request the day they came in & scheduled ourselves off around Christmas. & she has bitched & moaned about it all year, even tho as I previously stated maternity leave ended up taking all my vac time & she will get to be off 3 days at christmas & the week after anyways. But we have heard all year how she won't let that happen again.

She is the bitchiest of bitchy co-workers. Our boss just left the company (he was a pushover) & we'll be getting a new boss soon & I hope he will be more inclined to stand up to her. If not there will be riots!!

Ugh. Depressed. I just got the generic rejection email for the job I really wanted.

DAMN IT!!!!!!

I want to verbally slap my H so hard right now.  I asked him to switch loads Sunday night while I gave the baby a bath, so he took care of everything...so I thought.  I just went down there to wash towels and realized that he took a whole load of darks out of the washer and put it in a hamper instead of the dryer (the load in the dryer wasn't dry yet or something I'm assuming) and never told me, so they sat there for two days in a wet pile.  Now everything is still damp and stinky.  I swear to god I'm raising TWO children some days.

I basically have my menu set, but I still need to do my grocery lists.

Stuffing/ dressing is gross.

@TyrannosaurusLex‌ our family does sausage stuffing too! It is the best IMO. I'll even share the family secret. Watch out, it's fanceh.

1 box of Pepperidge Farm Paxo (stuffing mix)
1 onion diced
1 tube (why does that sound so disgusting?) of sausage. I think it's maple leaf brand, you find it in the frozen section.
Cook a bit, stuff in bird. Done.

Ugh, I'm really sorry, @thebanich.  That is so disappointing, especially a generic rejection.

I want to start listening to all the Christmas songs, but I share an office with my husband and he's a hater.

@nellybluthredux‌ please to be my snap friend.

Also, since you are the resident Jamberry expert.... Most if DDs fell off within 12 hours if me putting them on. Any thoughts on what went wrong?

thebanich

FFTC... I've never cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I've assisted but never actually made the whole dinner. We are always at someone else's house.

I'm pretty terrible in the kitchen.

[Deleted User]

Lunch will be chicken lo mien, garlic shrimp, a small order of salt and pepper chicken wings, and pork dumplings. Do I want my dumplings fried or steamed?

thebanich

I did all of the above. Including watching the videos.

Perhaps Jamberry and 3 year olds just don't mix. It was freaking adorable while it lasted.

Fucking autocorrect.

for all the gluten free peeps. TJs just came out with a gluten free stuffing mix, I bought some for my mom & sister and they said it wasn't bad. It isn't like the fanceh dressing we usually make but a passable substitute.

stra0111

@thebanich‌ I put a full set on DD1 also. It took me a while. Not even an hour later she had peeled almost all of them off. The ones on her toes lasted quite a while though. How old is your DD? For some unkown reason, little ones under about 3, the nail polish tends to almost slide off. YKWIM? When I was a toddler teacher, I had a lot of little girls come in with painted nails and after a day it was almost gone.

I have to wait two hours until DH brings me lunch.   My plate of bacon and egg wasn't enough. I'm a bottomless pit today.

thebanich

@stra0111 she is 3.5 I didn't notice her picking at them but she does put her fingers in her mouth a lot. Probably not helpful. Oh well. No more turkey fingers for her!!

SpaceGirlSpiff

We're eating out for Thanksgiving this year.... all of H's family... apparently they don't want to do the usual cramming of their gigantic family into a tiny house with all the clean up and what not for once

I am perfectly OK with this because I just DGAF to exert any effort this holiday season.... and this just sounds so much simpler.

Christmas is still going to be a madhouse though... And I'm going to be 38 almost 39 weeks pregnant.  

I might just...not.

ready-or-not

@luxannie‌ I don't remember why you will be alone but you are absolutely welcome at any of my Thanksgivings (starting this Sunday) if you are anywhere close to TN. I will tell my grandma that you're Peggy, & she will remember you even tho we've never had a Peggy

Hugs! We should go out for happy hour together and bitch about it.

We can meet in the middle in... Kentucky? TN?

@thebanich‌ I did the turkey's too! DD didn't want to match me though, so she picked robots. They were so cute for that one hour

@spacegirlspiff in 2007 I was a week over due with #2 at Christmas (she was born the 27th) & I did exactly nothing. I didn't even put up a tree.  We had to sleep over at my in-laws so that Santa could come for DD1

I have some local buy and sell groups on my Facebook. I am mortified at how many people jump at buying a used car seat. I just want to comment links to car seat safety websites.

Is it too early to start the drinking thread? I could really use a drink and a spliff.

Aw, I got excited for a moment when I thought it said "I could really use a drink and a SPIFF"

One more PW then back to work:

For years now we've hosted Thanksgiving on my dads side at our house & I LOVE it. I would do Thanksgiving & Christmas really. For me I am more relaxed hosting then the hussle & bussle of making something & traveling all over the place to get somewhere at a certain time.

This year my grandparents health dictates that instead of them traveling to us, we will travel to them & have Thanksgiving at their church. I'm bummed to not be hosting (& also that GPs health is declining, but such is the circle of life).
