well well well..it's that time of year again. the holidays are upon us. woot woot. bah humbug, i say! lol...well, not really, but some people get so excited you just wanna smack 'em upside the head with a 2X4. or maybe that's just me. anyway, I love the holidays as much as the next person, but when you get off of work where you've just had a woman saying the f-word repeatedly (in a church, mind you!) and listened to a man argue for 25 minutes about getting his medications, all the while holding up the rest of your patients, making them pissed off, you just wanna come home, crawl into some pj's and bash your head against the wall. You do not want to paste a fake smile on your face and play "nicey-nice" with someone's relatives thrice-removed. Just call me Scrooge.
Maybe I'm just mad because I'm not going home for Thanksgiving. Nothing beats an Arthur Thanksgiving (haaaa!!), but it might be better this way...my mom usually makes a trazillion pumpkin pies and that's all I do is sit around and eat them all weekend...oh, how great! Instead, I get to spend turkey day w/ my brother's in-laws, which is very nice of them indeed (to invite me and put up with my introverted-ness). It is awkward to hang around with someone else's family on a typically family-oriented day, but what the hey...live a little, huh? Stevie J-bomber will be there, too, so all is well.
On a lighter note, I baked a pumpkin yesterday night so now my house is the proud owner of about 4 lbs of pumpkin 'flesh', as the cookbook says (eeew...pumpkins do not have flesh...that's just grody). If you love the squashy-type foods, come on over, we'll have a hay day!!
This post is very mental. I think my brain is shorting out.

Sounds like you just needed a brain-dump moment. Hope all goes well at the in-laws' place! Happy Turkey day!
How was your Friday in Chi-Town?!
