Not necessarily thankful Randoms?

[laurenpetro]

Guys, my crazy ex-boyfriend just sent me a friend request.

I am TOTALLY accepting it.

[IIOY]

T-minus 6 hours until my FIL shows up at our house.  My husband just stocked the fridge full of beer to help us survive.

Watching the parade and looking at the amusing instagrams my friend posted while helping my DH set up for it last night. They look pretty miserable.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

I hate the way butternut squash makes your hands feel.

[gpw]

I am up all alone (well, except for Jax) with coffee, the Detroit parade, and breakfast from the crokpot. I'm thinking this may hold till 11. Fingers crossed.

[eclaires]

My almost 2m old nephew spit up on me already this morning. He is apparently not appropriately thankful for his aunt Bebe.

[gpw]

You're better than me asdfjkl. I'm not calling anyone in my family.

My MIL has already reminded us three times that they have free Showtime and HBO this weekend and has suggested three movies we could watch. Gah. The TV is on all waking hours here. I cannot handle it. H and I are about to go for a walk in a forest preserve so I don't lose my shit. When we return, I am making fall sangria but doubling the alcohol content and hoping to drink myself I to a state where I can't here anything.

[FloFTW]

We aren't doing Thanksgiving until tomorrow. We are stripping wallpaper today. Well, DH is. I'm randomly helping in between cleaning.

[eponinepontmercy]

I need local running friends. I hate waiting for races alone and having no one to talk to when I finish. DH and DD were going to come, but he really didn't want to. Oh well.

[pixy0stix]

My dogs are running laps in the house. I didn't get up early enough to run the local turkey trot. I'm not all that sad about it.

PS My kitchen already smells like burnt EVERYTHING.

That's how I know it's a holiday.

How's pts this morning?

[Velar Fricative]

DH has "God Bless the USA" blasting in the car.

I WIN THIS WHOLE BOARD.

We should trade. I'll call yours you call mine. See if they notice.

I'd be happy to call yours.  You don't really want to call mine, though.  "Cabal of cunts."  Ring a bell?  lol.

Since it's just the three of us (well, H is going to work. YES I KNOW BUT WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE FUCKING DR RELEASES HIM?!?!!?) I wasn't going to make dessert, but I decided that I'm going to make the uber traditional Thanksgiving chocolate pie.

[pixy0stix]

I'm eating a poptart, drinking coffee, and watching DH prep. He's setting up a war plan now.

I want to come to your house for chocolate pie. I picked up one at the store, and it looks so sad.

Do you know how much I would love it if you...or anyone here, would come here for T'giving?  You wouldn't make me get out of my jammies, we could drink and watch movies and eat.  Eat lots.  

[pixy0stix]

nom nom nom! I'd like to just sit around all day in my jammies and eat.

I decided to do an ultra American thing and went to Costco this afternoon to pick up my turkey (yes, we have Costco in London). It was a nightmare, despite being in the middle of the week and not a holiday.

[cairo]

I am still in bed and snuggling with a cat that won't leave me the hell alone. We got invited to a friend's family thanksgiving at the last minute; we were told not to bring anything. I don't get to cook anything today! #bragplaint

H just woke up and told me "Happy thanksgiving, pilgrim."

[jln]

I'm riding in the car with the IL's for the next 3 hours. Someone please have lots of drinks for me.

[josieposy]

I made mint brownies and they smell amazing. I'm bringing them to SIL's today.....maybe....

[pamela]

My awful BIL showed up this morning. Things were nice before that. He and I have a mutual truce of ignoring each other at this point. Take your most backwoods racist asshole and add jerk of a dad who refuses to change diapers or actually take care of his kids and that's him.

[gpw]

Well, pixy that is what is happening here today. I'll be getting up to do some minimal cooking, I mean, the turkey and stuffing isn't going to cook itself.

[niemand88f]

5 hour plane ride followed by 3 hour car ride, and no alcohol at the end if it.

YES. And it's like impossible to get off.

I had another Thanksgiving nightmare last night (Tues night we had no stuffing or gravy). My grandma didn't feel like making the pies and wanted to pick one up from Costco.

[saz]

I had grand plans to make all of my contributions to the meal yesterday but the baby had grand plans to cluster feed and be held all day. So I better get started but where did my motivation go?

[Deleted]

Maybe this photo will cheer some of you up. It's just me and the dogs until Dh gets home from work.

[secretlyevil]

I haven't done squat. I'm supposed to be at the inlaws with sweet potatoes and pumpkin cheesecake shooters by 3. I haven't even showered yet. Oh well.
