The Jerk Store Called, They’re Out Of You

Did everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving? Mine was lovely, thanks for asking. Although I had to work on Friday, I got to work from home in my PJs, which is always a mighty fine thing. It was nice to have a break from the daily grind for sure.
I started a new tradition at Thanksgiving this year – MIMOSAS!
I going to go ahead and say this was the best idea I’ve ever had. I even tricked my Gram into having one, which probably wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done since she’s wobbly stone cold sober.

The following was a conversation that happened on Thanksgiving. I’m still kind of amazed by the awkwardness.
My Mom: I got a new alarm clock! It tells time! It was $17.99! And has TWO alarms! It’s fancy! $17.99! $17.99! $17.99!!!
Me: Was it made it 1799 or something?
(roars of laughter through the crowd)
Person X: Ha, that’s funny. Did you just think of that off the top of your head?
Me: *blinks* *blink* *blink* *blinks*
Me: Um, yes.
So, did this person think I was George Costanza and just had a litany of jokes in my head? Like I was just waiting for someone to make a comment about 1799? DON’T HATE BECAUSE I’M WITTIER THAN YOU!

I made a pie. It was delicious.
The filling is peanut butter, cream cheese and whipped cream. It was so good I could have eaten just that.

The best part about Thanksgiving, after the booze and the stuffing? This girl!
Clearly taking after her Auntie already. Can you believe she’s almost 6 months old already? Where does the time go?

Overall, it was a great holiday and a nice relaxing weekend. How was your long weekend internet?

I really want a mimosa right now. Actually, I was even craving champagne last night. Anyway, I think that was a great tradition to start!
