I decided I couldn't complain about no posts, then rarely post. What are your plans for next week? We have Thursday and Friday off work and are going to the northern part of the state to celebrate Thanksgiving and my grandparents' 65th anniversary on Thursday. Then going to the central part of the state for the remainder of the time off to spend time with DH's family. DH just told me yesterday that he took Wednesday off too, so was thinking we could spend the day together. I work from home, so I MIGHT be able to swing this.

Re: Thanksgiving Plans?
DH and DS are flying to California to do Thanksgiving with his family. I'm staying home. I get along fine with the in-laws but I don't have enough vacation time. And then for Christmas, we're trading. I'm taking DS to my family in Arizona (also a flight; we're in North Dakota) and DH is staying home. Because he doesn't have enough vacation time for two holidays either. Plus he's required to work either Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day every year. Everyone has to do one of the two.
My family was always pretty low-key about Thanksgiving, and I've had many solo years of it as an adult, so it's really not a big deal. Plus I hate turkey. It's possible a coworker will invite me over. My boss already has. But I'll probably prefer the day off. Local friends are all leaving town.
I just remembered that my aunt and uncle from out of state (and don't come to much) will be there. Great. Their daughter is nine months younger than me, and her daughter is two months younger than DD. My aunt and uncle have made EVERYTHING a competition between my cousin and I, even when we don't participate. Now they do it between our daughters. So I get to hear about how SMART and GIFTED and CULTURED their granddaughter is. Sigh.
By the way, I think my daughter is extremely smart and talented, but I don't engage their behavior, so I just sit and listen.

Throwing leaves
My work is closed on Thursday/Friday and I took Wednesday off. I have so much work to do that I might decide go in for the morning. We are going to my ILs on Thursday (MIL's first then to DH's grandparents later). The rest of the weekend I just want to relax and catch up on sleep.
