I have to make a pie tomorrow. Mom already claimed the pumpkin pie, so I'm doing something in the pecan family. Should I do cranberry pecan or chocolate pecan?

How about cranberry chocolate pecan?

On second thought, never mind.

I'm gonna be defiant and post a happy thanksgiving message in the sooooo thread, even though the Happy Thanksgiving thread has already been started! :evil:

I'm a baaaaad boy! :D

In the last 3.5 hours I have done the following:

washed and put away laundry
a complete unit of homework (and it's "Thanksgiving Break")
cleaned the bathroom
filed a ton of papers
set up my computer desk so I on;y have to plug in my computer when I bring it home
shredded cheese for tomorrow
ran and emptied the dishwasher

I rule and can now participate in fun and debauchery this weekend with nothing nagging in the back of my mind.

Call you Ms. Productive :)

BTD - the Martha Stewart of LoT :evil:

I've done absolutely nothing productive today, and I'm thankful for that.

I've been blowing up kids on UT3 something fierce tonight :evil:

I was watching "Pushing Daisies" interspersed with ads for J. C. Penney's after Thanksgiving sale which starts at 4:00 AM on Friday and I was having flashback nightmares about my days in retail. When I started working at May Co. (yes, that was a while back) the last week or so before Christmas we would open an hour early (9 AM) and close an hour later (10 PM) to accomodate Christmas shopping. When I finally left that job we were opening at 8 AM and staying open until 11 PM or midnight almost all the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas day was just a blip in between the madness of Christmas Eve and the insanity of the day after Christmas sales.

I'm so glad I don't do that anymore.

Now that I don't have to shop for in-laws I get to sleep in on Friday. :)

Here I sit, wanting to go to bed..my phone rings. It is a crying Boy. He is verrrrry tired and with his dad tonight. He wants me to come get him. I called his dad and told him to go talk to his tired son and call me back. His dad had no idea why or how he was that upset. I had to explain that he is tired, that he gets up with me at 5:30am and it is now an hour past his bedtime.

*sigh*

I love my son with all my heart, but I do not want to go get him. He has been "helping" with the deep pit and is covered with dirt. He was so looking forward to tonight with his dad. I hope they can talk it out.

I guess I will find my pants and get ready to go...

When I posted on my LJ about getting a second job, meaning Disneyland, my mom suggested that the larger retailers paid better. I told her there was no way I was working retail on Black Friday.
