Green Room - Thanksgiving Week - Day 2

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

How about that run off? http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/203420.html

Have YOU voted yet? Considering how often the lead has been going back and forth I'd say every last vote counts this time!

Is it a battle between two writers? Or an epic battle between Vet and Newbie for the soul of Idol? Or just a random run off caused by someone handing out immunity?*g* You decide!

What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, if you're a "damn foreigner" - what are your plans for celebrating the fact that your American friends are going to be preoccupied and you get to run the internet for an extended weekend?*G*

Morning!

Gah! SO close!

dude, where'd my edit go?

[ahavah]

My oven isn't working, so no turkey. :( I just...how...Thanksgiving...turkeyless??? Maybe for Christmas. I'm thinking of consoling myself with filet mignon instead.

I'm going to celebrate by finishing my Thank You cards from the pseudo-wedding (it's only been 6 months), and also by fulfilling this month's tithe. It's been a while since I was in a position to do that, so I'm going to celebrate and give thanks for the opportunity.

[ahavah]

That's what you think.

I'm just lying here appreciating the fact that I decided at the last minute yesterday to take today as vacation. :)

So I slept in and I'm not running around getting ready for work, and I'll have time to tidy the house a bit before my sister comes for turkey day tomorrow.

We're going to visit the parents. Nothing of much interest. My best friend and her husband are supposed to be coming out but I don't know when or for how long they'll be here because their plans keep changing.

We cooked a pumpkin and now our fridge is full of pumpkin puree... what can we make with this stuff?

There are a lot of places that sell turkeys already cooked. (at least around here)

Heck if you lived nearby, I'd throw a turkey in my oven for you.

Hey! florida_phoenix! I think that claudrainsrm wants some controversy...

This week I will mostly be keeping my fingers crossed about having a nice new translation contract for next week and wrangling detail for Season 2.2 of neville_game.

*raises hand* Damn foreigner here!

I'll be spending my weekend of owning the Interdumb with playing World of Warcraft (European server unfortunately, so still about the same competition about as usual),
Wooly Hooves (http://www.woolly-hooves.com/newplayer.php?ref=3375), and finishing up my NaNo novel. Or at least getting it over 50k so I can pretend I wrote a whole novel in a month. ;) I should also draw Christmas cards and some art for an exchange art community.

I wish I could have American Thanksgiving dinner though. So tasty. Mum won't even buy me goose dinner for Mårten (local "holiday" of sorts where, well... you eat goose. That's about it, really.), so I get no tasty oversized fowl.

Morning and happy Wednesday which is kind of like Friday today.

Thanksgiving plans?
As soon I get off work...run to the bus, get on said bus, head home, finish the last of any packing, and then jump in the car for a lovely more and like traffic filled trip (grumble...) to Brainerd which is a 3 hour drive.

Spend a nice 3 or 4 days up there with family stuffing myself with some awesome food, and then trying to function and do some more homework (portfolio redo is due 12/1). Then head home....

Should be a nice time away...
Just no internet (uber slow connection)
So I hope all those in the States have a safe, happy Thanksgiving. Those not in the states...have a awesome weekend.

eeeks! ...

I'm up and there's only like nine comments in the gr? woe! Unless there are more coming in while I'm writing this. Insane? I think so!

last session with life coach for this round was yesterday, and I'm not sure whether I'll have more. We've got some concrete goals set, so we'll see how it goes. :d

Got up early this morning so I could fold and put away laundry, and I *still* haven't done that yet.

Having issues with windows live; I can sign in, but for some reason I can't see my contacts, which means I can't message people. :( Aim works, so anyone here who wants that comment, and I'll give it to you. (for those who don't have already.)

Nothing on deck for tomorrow; we had ours last week since Mom is out of town this week.

ETA: happy Wednesday yall!

PS... eeeks! :d

contraversy? ...? :d
What's that (kidding, I know what it is)
You do know you messed the spelling of his name up, don't you?

Mmm....

It's too damn early; still need coffee!

Congrats!

Morning... here is your token!

I think today you definitely deserve a [Coveted]

*grin*

And for you my dear, [Second?]

Oh... the joys of sleeping in. I have been up since 5:30. I couldn't sleep.

Re: dude, where'd my edit go?

[ahavah]

That's so kind of you. I wish! I may see if I could order one anywhere, but I'm just bummed about not making my own. I've made one every year since I had my own place. I like to use a lot of funky herbs, too. Oh well. I'm sure I can buy or beg some somewhere before the week's out. :)

ATM I have zero zip nada Thanksgiving plans.

Every time I tried to make some, something came up to prevent them from happening. Blues (and for those of you who are wondering who the heck that is, Blues is the man that I live with now, my primary source of love and support, and a man I stalked for over a year before he figured out I liked him)... anyway Blues has to work late tonight and early Friday.

That made driving to one T-day invite extremely difficult *sad face* It made driving to see my kids absolutely impossible.

We might go see some movies tomorrow (Transporter 3 opens today!), but other than that... not much.

As for the battle... I don't want to think about it - it is making me sad.

My wife and I are hosting Thanksgiving for her parents and a friend of ours. It looks like we've got everything under control, but having watched these kinds of things go up in flames (literally), I'm a little worried.

Thankfully I know what I'm doing in a kitchen, and it shouldn't be too bad. Unfortunately, if I mess it up I already ate my backup plan of the red sauce and meatballs I made over the weekend. Guess I better get it right!

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

been there! Poor you! ::hugs::

Re: Morning Fellow GREEN ROOM addicts

It's making me *crazy!* ...?

I suppose making it most of the way through November isn't so bad... just... :(

Pumpkin ice cream! :D

(nowhere near first, as usual) ;)

Thursday is Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws, Friday is Thanksgiving dinner with my family. More people are attending each dinner than usual for Thanksgiving, and I have to say, I'm relieved that this year they are on different days. Usually we're running from one house to the next and eating two HUGE meals in one day. Now we can gorge ourselves for two days in a row! ;)

I am trying not to freak out about driving my kids to Lexington at 8am in the morning to my ex husband's house. I haven't seen him since my oldest graduated from high school, and could do with a few more years (say, around 50 or so) before seeing him again. But Noooooo (said in Steve Martin's best stand up voice) he has to get laid off in DC and find a job in Finance in Kentucky.

Karma is such a pain in the backside.

The rest of the day should be nice after I peel the scab off that old blister.

I voted. With fear in my heart, because but for two votes, I would have been in that run-off.

*wibble*

My Thanksgiving will be spent with the family of the man who is divorcing me. Just because he's done with me doesn't mean that his family stopped loving me, and they are much closer than my own family is. I'm extremely grateful to not be spending My First Single Holiday alone.

We go out for dinner, instead of making someone cook, so we're likely to hit a buffet in the Capital District somewhere. Then I'm hoping to spend some time with a friend who had his tonsils out yesterday. He won't be in the hospital still, but he won't be able to go home until after the holidays (lives alone).

And on Thanksgiving, after everyone is gone, I'll dig out my Festivus lights and make my apartment glow. And then in the glow from the blinking lights, I'll make my list of what I'm grateful for, and post it for everyone to read.
