I'm at work trying not to throw shit and/or call people out of their names (I should probably turn off the DMX pandora station). Open enrollment brings out the worst in me! I have all of the fixings for my pies, but I keep reading about how people put cream cheese in their pumpkin pie, has anyone done this??
Is this gonna be the new white-potatoes-in-sweet-potatoes debate?
Oh this is where I draw my line. I have plans to make a real pumpkin pie on Friday because I know I'll want it after the regular one tomorrow.
Joy of Cooking. Real pumpkin, or better - butternut squash. Two eggs, cream, sugar, spices. Grandma's crust with twice the fat of any other recipe. Fin.

there is pumpkin pie and then pumpkin cheesecake. These are two different things.
No one is here at work today. I have a dog that is not mine next to me. He's adopted me as his office person. His mom keeps trying to entice him back to her office, but nope.
DH remembered to get a turkey yesterday. He also reminded me that we still need to get sides for t-day. I'm just not with it this year.

What kind dog and can you sneak a PIP.
He's a half grown rottweiler. I luff him. I'll try to get a pip later. He went out for a potty break.

I was supposed to I hang out with my sister today, but I don't think that's going to happen. We're both don't feel like dealing with the rain, that may turn to snow.
We may reevaluate and meet at my aunt's and help with pre-thanksgiving festivities.

See, this is what I thought! But evidently its a thing...
I'll just share here that I really kinda want a pair of cowboy boots. But I want them to be all broken in and worn looking. So I've considered buying myself some new boots and then giving them to my sister to wear for me for a month or three on her farm.
The only problem with this plan is that she wears a size 5. I wear a size 7.5. But I'd send some really fluffy socks along with the boots!
Whyyyyy can't people just fill out their shit and be done? For us, it's not that hard if you've enrolled once. You just click through and confirm everything and you're done. But no, I always have to chase down people to do it.
It gives me crazy twitchy eye, this is not hard people!

I love watching my dog and dad interact. My dad gets so excited when I tell him he's coming. He gets him special food, puts out carpet remants, so he doesn't have to sit on the hardwood floor, takes him for walks, etc. It's so cute.
I wish he'd consider getting one of his own. I think he'd really like it, but he says no, he'll just love on mine when he comes.
I have a lot of work to do today - we pushed close deadlines out for the holiday, but I need to be done before my new hire starts on Wednesday.
I may end up home with a feverish kid, which will suck because a) work, b) we pushed the housecleaner to today, and most serious of all c) I really needed to go to Target today.
If we don't hear from you by 5pm PST I will send for help.
I had a dream last night that a dog adoption place was releasing a dog into the wild and I said, "no, don't do that, I'll take her." So, I had 4 dogs. She was adorable, but life was crazy. I was also living in my old apartment instead of my home. I know, riveting stuff.
We have to be here until 3pm today. It's going to be a long day.
My 18 year old nephew texted my stepdad to tell him he isn't coming to Tday. My stepdad is pissed.

The deadline for getting me forms is 8am December 1st. I dare someone( I DON'T LIKE) to get their forms to me after that.
IIOY this mofo we fired because he couldn't bring his ass to work has filed an EEOC claim against us. Usually I cringe but I am so done with him I am feeling all:
PM me if you want to talk about it. You can, you know.
I need to know if any of our Midwestern posters have ever eaten Snickers Salad. Because....SNICKERS SALAD. Seriously people? No. That's not a salad. You can't just cut up some candy bars, add apples and cool whip and pretend that is a real food. That's something stoners do. come the fuck on.
I mean, it sounds delicious for a 2 AM snack, but not something you serve at the dinner table.
Also I'm dying at Oregon's most searched food: Vegan Mushroom Gravy. Of course.
And frog eye salad? Which appears to be basically ambrosia salad with pasta in it. Seriously? I'd probably try it, because I habor a secret love for ambrosia, but how in the world does this happen? Who came up with that? And why the hell is it called that??

Well, I am from NE where it was googled. It's diabetic shock in a bowl.

I think we both know stoners would never put apples in that. Doritos, yes, but not apples.

DH went to the store last night for ingredients for the stuffed mushrooms we're making tomorrow, but forgot the cranberries and orange for the cranberry sauce. Please god may the grocery store across the street have cranberries and not be too crazy.

They sell used boots, ya know. You can get Lucchese's for cheap. Some places will even custom paint them or what not.
custom paint them? what in the world? If the whole point is nice worn, broken in boots why would I want them painted? Am I missing something?
And...yeah, the ebay route weirdly never occurred to me. I have slight reservations about strangers with stank boot though. I know my sister wears socks and isn't stinky.

I'm in WI, but I have indeed have Snickers Salad. It's a staple at bridal showers/baby showers here.
