thanks giving or giving thanks?

this year i took the longest holiday ever...left the office at 10:30 am on Tuesday and did not return until today! i have been debating whether or not to blog about the holiday because there was quite a bit of turmoil, but what the hell, it's a way to get it off of my chest.

the sunday before turkey day my niece, vicky, flew in from califnornia, she has not been here since spetember of last year. she got all bent out of shape on the ride from the airport to my house because neither her brother or sister had called yet to make plans with her. i guess that people that don't work forget that other people have lives. sunday evening her brother (my nephew) gary called to say that he and his wife robin would be in tuesday afternoon for a one day visit. thus, i left work at 10:30 am on tuesday to be sure to be home before they arrived. our time with gary and robin was great (we had not seen them since september 2006) until about midnight when all hell broke loose with vicky and her drinking. enough said.

kath came to the house wed. morning to see us all and we had a great time going through OLD photos. etc.

tukey day was wonderful, kath came to help me cook and jason joined us for dinner, 16 pound bird for 4; what can i say other than i like leftovers!

friday was relaxing and wonderful until 10pm when vicky and i were on our way home from her sister's house. again, the drinking clouded her sensibility and at 10:30pm we headed to the airport. i finally got home at 11:30pm and just sat to enjoy the peace and quiet.

saturday and sunday were for laundry and quiet time...ahh, the holidays!
