Thanksgiving is almost over

And I haven't posted! I can hear the voices of NaBloPoMo calling to me: Alice, Alice, why have you failed us, why…

Like you people are reading. You're not reading. You're sprawled across the sectional, stroking your belly, grunting in satisfaction. Look at you! I've never seen anything like it.

We gorged ourselves over at my sister and brother-in-law's fancy new Brooklyn digs; yes, that's right, as soon as I move out of Brooklyn my sister moves in. I'm pretty sure she did it to taunt me, but it didn't work, because now I get to enjoy her glamorous loft space without paying her glamorous rent, so ha! Ha on her!

Fortunately they brought some Legos with them, so Henry was entertained all day. I think before Legos existed he would have spent his conscious hours bereft, waving his arms in front of him, weeping. Eventually we would watch him connecting invisible tiny pieces of something to each other. And then calling to me to help him disengage certain tiny invisible pieces that he couldn't dislodge from their larger brethren.

45 minutes until tomorrow, crap. And I can't even come up with a single heartfelt sentiment on Thanksgiving, so okay, you want to know what I'm thankful for? I'm thankful for my glorious family, my friends, and I'm thankful for you, you bastards. Stop looking at me like that.

It's more heartfelt when you stretch out the words, I find.

We ate our big meal at 2PM, so I am trying to ignore the leftovers calling me from the fridge, and kind of wishing I had taken a nap. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Happy Thanksgiving : )

[jenB]

I am thankful for you and I am not gorged on sweet potatoes or turkey. I had enchiladas for dinner. In Canada, today is just Thursday. :-)

[falwyn]

Now, now, don't get sentimental on us.

:) Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

[Sue]

{{Burp}} Ahem. Excuse me. Happy Thanksgiving!

[All Adither]

Yes, we are reading.

[buffi]

Ooh! Ooh! I'm reading! I'm always reading you. I rarely comment, but I never miss a post.

Okay, that sounded a lot less pathetic and stalker-ish in my head.

I'm Canadian, which means I had my tryptophan coma a month ago. I mean, I still had a pretty nice dinner and all tonight, so you know, don't go feeling sorry for me or anything. Unless you want to, because I do enjoy the pity of others.

Anyway, here I am! Love me!

But how weird, I also spent the better part of three hours this afternoon lying on the floor and playing Legos with MY son. Though, come to think of it, probably not that weird after all.

I really hope no one's still reading this asinine comment. If you are, I'm so sorry.

Here's anothah bahstid reading.But it's the next morning, and I'm Canadian, so it may not count ;)(I don't know why I can't bring myself to swear properly in print, it comes out of my mouth the right way)

I'm reading!And apparently de-lurking.Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

[Mrs. Who]

We love you, too! And I was not sprawled on the sectional, thankyouverymuch. I went and took a proper nap in the bed. So I was ready for leftovers for dinner. There is a proper decorum for these things, you know.

Yesterday, we had our Thanksgiving stuff-a-thon at lunch. Then, the reading and the 2.5 hour nap. It was a perfect Thanksgiving. Hope you had a lovely day too.

[Ree]

Hope it was happy. Sounds like it was. And we're thankful for you, too. ;-)

[Velma]

Ooooh, surly! I like it!

[Ginny]

I'm especially thankful for you and your nearly unmatched dedication to this NaBloPoMo stuff. Thanks! Glad you had fun!

[Ahna]

God, doesn't if feel good to be that full every once in a while? Now, off to nap. I'm not really tired, it's just that I can.Happiness to you and yours

[Lisa Milton]

Did you just wish us a holiday greeting and call us bastards, all in one breath?

You crack me up.

[amy]

I would have been reading yesterday, if I hadn't been working. Cause our Thanksgiving was last month. Cause we're like that, up here. Ha on... karma... or something.

[Em]

Awww! I love you too, you sonofabitch!
