What are you not thankful about? Biitch here...
Half of the office took today off, including my entire team, it's raining cats and dogs,Dennis is home today, I have a lot of things to do to prepare for holiday house guests and Thanksgiving and my sweater is totally itchy. Also, I forgot to put on make up this morning. For those that don't know me, I'm pretty fancy. I always wear makeup. So I feel extra icky. And itchy. I wanna go home.
Re: What are you not thankful about? Biitch here...
I am not thankful that I keep coming into work 2-3 hours early, and still end up leaving 1-2 hours late. Working all the time is for the birds I tell ya, I just want to hang out with my husband and watch tv. My coworkers were supposed to be back from their conference today, so I'd have some relief, but their flights got delayed.
I'm also not thankful for this friggin cold weather.
I am, however, thankful that I came home to running water. Toilet flushes for everyone!
I won't be eatting a Turkey Dinner in the next two days.
It's going to be deader than normal on here AND at work Thursday and Friday.
I'm pretty sure I win.
I have to work on Friday. I also just got an email from someone who wants to schedule a meeting for this afternoon. Ummm, you realize it's the day before Thanksgiving, right?
Nothing really exciting or anything, but the office is dead, the nest is dead and I have class until 10:30PM tonight. I had to ask H to make cupcakes tonight since we have to be at the IL's relatively early in the morning and he's whining like you read about...'cause making cupcakes is SO HARD!

Random: I was watching "How I Met Your Mother" the other night, and they were making fun of Canadians and had them talking all funny and I was like "GEEZ, we do NOT sound like that!" And then yesterday when I was trying to make a video of Paige in my sleep deprived stupor, I was listening to it play back and was like "Crap... I do kinda sound like that."
Double doubles and timbits for everyone in my igloo right quick eh?
I seem to be cultivating a giant lip zit.
I have 2 heads of garlic roasting and all I want to do is spread them on some french bread, but I need to save them for a ressypee.
Ummmm. I dunno. I had to crack open a bottle of beer to make beer dip and I didn't want it to go to waste, so it's 9:48 and I'm drinking. That might be a problem.

I am not thankful that I have the day off today and yet I need to go help my mom clean her house. I know it's the adult thing to do, to help out with holiday preparation or whatever. But damn, I wish grandparents lived forever so you didn't have to go through all this trouble even when you didn't feel like it because "it could be their last one!" I would like one Thanksgiving or Christmas of not driving anywhere and just sitting with a handful of people in one place.
I am also not thankful for this short haircut that is not easy to put in a ponytail and just go, plus the short length means there is less room for my scalp oil to go and my hair gets super oily FAST. And I still have not received a "thanks for the wig hair!" letter, so I'm worried they didn't get it, or it wasn't usable and this hatchet job was all for nothing.
I am also not thankful for gym memberships that you can't pay month to month. I want to cancel and rejoin later, but then you have to pay that huge fee up front again. Assh0les.
Lastly, I am not thankful for not having a laptop. I am going to buy one, but I just can't choose between $800 PC or $1200 Mac. UGH.

My fun budding alcoholism story is that yesterday I had a half day at work, and it was the last day that the Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest was showing in the theater, so I went and bought a 24 oz of Bud Select, stuffed it in my purse, then went into a mall bar, drank a draft beer quickly before I went into the theater, then drank the purse beer during the movie and got a nice little buzz going. It was an excellent afternoon, but some may find this worrisome.

I'm only judging your choice of Bud Select. They sell Sam Adams 24s!

I am not thankful that I have to drive 12+ hours today to see my parents for Thanksgiving. They moved from PA to GA two years ago, and I still resent it. We have no family down there, save for my grandmother who my dad moved down last year to an assistant living facility when she was diagnosed with dementia. I am just resentful that they live so far away and we only get to see them a few times a year now, while we see my ILs at least once every other week, if not more. With the baby coming, it makes it even that much more painful that they won't be around for the various stages of pregnancy and they'll miss out on seeing their grandchild regularly.
It also irritates me because our visits with them our usually 5 days or so, which means by the end of the fifth day I'm either sick of having them in my house or sick of being at their house. So I get even more resentful that 1/5 of my time with them is spent being generally irritated.
I'm not thankful that I'm at work. I've never attended or worked at a school or university that was open the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Until now. Boo.
I'm not thankful that I'm working Black Friday at my second job. It's going to be a madhouse. I've never shopped on that day because I hate the crowds. Now I have to deal with the crowds AND be nice to them. Blah.
I need sufficient memory to run my bootleg software.

I am not thankful for my stupid hair. I think I'm going to go get it all cut off today so I can stop worrying about how heavy and stupid my stupid bangs look and how thin the rest of my hair looks. Stupid bangs and stupid postpartum hair loss.
I am not thankful that both Lorne and I fell asleep in the living room last night. I wanted to have sex after I finished pumping, but he fell asleep waiting for me to finish and I fell asleep while pumping. By the time we woke up it was too late to do anything.
I am not thankful for the ball of snot that is currently sitting at the back of my nasal cavity and dripping down my throat.
I'm not thankful for the mess in my underwear. Not sure what's going on there, but if I didn't have a gigantic ball attached to my abdomen I'd think I was starting my period.
And if this does lead to labor, I'm not thankful for this selfish child making me miss my dinner.
And if it doesn't lead to labor, I'm not thankful for all the mind games of late.
A mess in your underwear that does not lead to labor sounds very unfortunate.
Hospital Thanksgiving food is not very good.
If I were a horse they'd already have put me out of my misery by now

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
If I had a big enough purse, this might have happened.

Not worried about Fenton at all but I wish I could steal her idea.
I am not thankful that I have to work today and on black friday. Also not thankful that my boss is trying to guilt trip me into working on Cyber Monday. I work almost every single holiday. The only reason I don't work tomorrow is because I refused. There had better be some serious bribing going on for me to come in Monday.

I'm not thankful that Cali is probably not coming to my house for Thanksgiving.
I'm also not thankful that my best friend is coming for dessert with her 3 kids. I love them dearly, but they all demand a lot of attention, and my friend and her husband like to come to family functions, sit with the grown ups, and let others entertain their kids. By dessert I will be exhausted, and just want to relax and not play 72 rounds of 'look what I can do.'
I am not going to be the fun dad.

It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
Who does this? That would ruin the holiday for me. RUIN IT.
