Not much unlike Rosie's new variety show.... my highly anticipated Thanksgiving dinner turned out to be a real turkey. Now... I was pretty proud of my cooking and especially my impeccable timing of all the side dishes and turkey. My shit was ON! No, it turned out to be a real turkey because apparently MY expectations were too high. Yes... I guess expecting that people would show up on time... oh wait, back up... expecting people to SHOW UP (yes, I had 3 no
show's/no
call's)... and show up on time was a bit too much to expect. Oh, then my expectation that the TV should be turned off during Thanksgiving dinner was too much to expect. My "audience" just didn't "get it" is what my
BFF said to me. It's true. People did not sit where their personalized place card/pilgrim hats directed them to sit. Nope. Too much to expect I guess. So... my Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving was more like an evening with the
Simpsons. Lesson learned. Oh, there is more to bitch about, but I'll stop there. I might get accused of being too sensitive or something... for gosh sakes... The food was good. That's about it. Oh, one more bitch... don't mind that my back hurt for two days afterwards... but don't worry... I did it to myself some would say.
What else? I stayed home (with a sore back) on Black Friday... good thing, some people got trampled to death... I would not be happy about that if it happened to me. I DID, however, venture out on Purple Saturday (I made up the part about Purple...) and let me tell you, I think I discovered the secret to shopping after Tday! Parking was a breeze, the malls were not crowded... I was in and I was out. Boom. Bang! I think all the maniac shoppers were pooped from Friday to go out on Saturday!
Today also marks December 1st, or the first day of "The 25 Days of Christmas" project I am playing along with Rachel and maybe even Tina? I'm not so sure I am motivated enough to post my previous days page every day... but I will post at the end, okay? Today was so very unexciting I almost wanted to give up already! I didn't and I won't... but that is exactly how BORING my day was.
How was YOUR first day of T25DOC?

OMG- can't believe you had people no call no show! They seriously wanted the tv on and didn't sit where they were supposed to? You're not being too sensitive- that's just downright rude. Sorry your turkey day was such a turkey. If it makes you feel any better, my bird was cooked in the microwave!
Hope your back is feeling better and that day 2 of T25DOC is more exciting!

Sorry about your TDay issues...I agree with Wendy. Knowing that someone is going to the trouble of cooking dinner for you and you DON'T call to say you can't make it...very rude, I would be PISSED! T25DOC is going good so far...got pics yesterday & today and wrote my little journal entries. I have yet to put them IN the book, but it's only day 2! :) Hope your back is feeling better and just so you know...I would have shown up and NOT turned on the TV. :-P Heck, I would've wanted to help cook! I love that stuff...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - the Simpsons. More like Los Simpsons. (Race disclaimer: I say this as a fellow Mexican and social idiot.)
