Thanksgiving Craziness

So, I know I've totally been slacking this month, but nothing real exciting has been going on, besides the fact that I got one massive sinus infection this month...whoo! On to the real topic for today.

This year, Thanksgiving will be interesting. It appears, it will be the first year I will not be having Thanksgiving with my side of the family. However, this is completely by choice. My side of the family is going out to visit my grandmother...and let's just say, I didn't really want to do that. I don't enjoy her cooking, I don't enjoy my relatives all that much, and I don't enjoy the long trek it takes to get out to her house.

So, what am I doing this year? Spending my Thanksgiving with WHF's side of the family. Which, some would say is equally as bad. lol!! For me...it sounds like a much better option. Sure, there's the fact that his uncle will be there, more than likely, and will be as rude and crude as normal...but there is one saving grace. This year...we're trying to get WHF's grandma to agree to Thanksgiving at the Casino's buffet.

It couldn't be better! Great food, no one has to cook, and no one has to do dishes! Plus, it will cost roughly the same amount for all of us to go to the buffet as it would to make a full course dinner. Might as well do the buffet and migrate around all the hassle of the other stuff.

The funniest part is when WHF's dad tried to get Hi (WHF's grandma) to do Thanksgiving out, she said, "No...Absolutely not." But when WHF calls, she changes her tune slightly..."Well, it doesn't make me happy, but if you really want to." We all just laughed about it...WHF has this magic power on her that no one else has. So, if we can ware her down, which it appears we are, we can have a great dinner, without hassle...and that's something everyone can look forward to! :)

Of course, then after the big meal, we can all go to someone's house to just relax a bit. And talk, if we wanted to. Oh...and of course, if my BIL and SIL are there, pass the baby! :)
