Sitting outside the dog groomers, waiting for them to open, for Monster's 9am appointment.
Then it's back home to begin the cooking!
My neice came in last night.
Total head in my house right now? 9. With at least 3 more on the way. Lunch tomorrow will see 30 people in my house, maybe more.

Sometimes I think a small, immediate family dinner would be nice.
We've never had a set table dinner.
Always too many people for that.

I know what you mean, thanksgiving was always with my family, since my parents and sister died it changed everything. Would invite my brother and SIL but ever since they adopted two Native American children she had gone on a anti thanksgiving rant on Faceboo, so no I didn’t invite them. I love them and we get along and adore the kids, I just don’t know if I should invite them knowing how she feels I feel it would be awkward.

That would be a tough situation, Lindley. I don't think I would have invited them either, knowing how she felt about the holiday. It's a shame since it was actually the coming together of the pilgrims and the natives.
I saw my favourite drag queen live last night. She was amazing. Not a crass/dirty joke queen, but a thoughtful and self-loving queen who preaches acceptance of self under radical conditions. Speaks to most of the world, really. It was nice to have a night out with no political jokes or agenda, no platforms, no whatever. Just an incredible artist and performer doing a show. I didn't know most of the music, as she used a fairly obscure artist but she did amazing light and digital work. I don't even really know how to explain it.
I splurged a little and did the meet & greet before the show (which, I have to say, is a pretty lame concept) but I came away with at least 1 picture that doesn't make me look like a troll. I was so under-dressed, though. There was some costuming that was so amazing that I couldn't stop gawking. Literally walking art. That said, connecting with her was incredible. She was so genuine that it was almost hard to meet her eyes because of the gaze. And of course, trying not to be super awkward in the 45 seconds you get with her.
I'd invite them. Then you've made the effort. What ever they do then, is on them.

I understand wanting to help them keep their culture, but I think by looking into it she is not being objective. She is a wonderful person and is doing everything she can to raise them. I think she needs to consider the source before posting information that possibly isn’t coming from a credible source.
I guess I'll put together the breakfast casserole next. And run the sweeper.
Things are coming along.
Trying to keep busy. Waiting for word on my brother-in-law, Jack. Monica had to call the squad. He's in the ICU. It sounds like congestive heart failure, to me. But we don't know for sure. I hope he pulls through. Hold a good thought, please.
DS and I drove to Chatham on cape cod today. Stating with brother and his kids in a very large ABNB house. Can here the ocean. One sister lives nearby and my other siblings are staying in another house nearby. Should be a nice holiday.

I am home. Food is bought. I have NO REASON to go back out for days. I will NOT be Black Friday shopping this year for the first time in over a decade. They have ruined it with the Thanksgiving creep.
I've got to clean and get ready for tomorrow.

Prayers for Jack, Monica, and your
whole family. Does Jack need a new
aortic valve for CHF? My late DH
had that, and then had three wonderful
years. This has to be so stressful for
Monica. I truly understand her pain.
DH's niece (the one who stayed
with me after my surgery) called
this morning and invited us for
T'giving dinner! I'll keep the
ham for another weekend, and
all the rest of the fixings are
pantry items.
It will be just the four of us, so
no great amounts to prepare.
It is her daughter's wedding
that I prepared all the hors
d'oeuvres for.
LL, I'm right there with you. We have declared Friday a do nothing day. How is your husband and girls?

Great news, Momala! I didn't know you were going to be alone.
Sorry about the pet, SB. That's tough.
LL, what is a Thanksgiving creep?
I think Thanksgiving creep is how black Friday has crept into Thanksgiving day. The sales start at suppertime Thursday. I think if people stopped going they would restore it to Friday morning and let everyone enjoy the holiday.

Only a lot of the stores, both online and offline, started black Friday sales a week or more ago.

This is what I found while up after dinner tonight with the family. Through out the leftover butternut squash bisque. Found out an hour later my bro had put it there to be "funny".
