Twas the night of thanksgiving,
but i just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
i tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned -
the dark meat and white,
but i fought the temptation
with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
the thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, i raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
Gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'til all of a sudden, i rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,
with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, i managed to yell as i soared past the trees....
Happy eating to all - pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty,
may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious.
May your pies take the prize,
may your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs!!
as much as I want her home for christmas, I know she can't afford it, and has a job, albeit a possible seasonal one, at Pottery Barn, she doesn't want to do anything to keep it from turning into permanant if possible, until she gets something better. but thanks for the positive thoughts! Things like this make me think of my own mom, she passed away when I was only about 3 years older than my daughter, and it colored everything in my life, and I sometimes think that is why my daughter pulls away, I grabbed to tight,and just have had some emotional issues because of it, I regret thingss I said and did, and tried to install the importance of family, and how it should come first. but it didn't stick with her, I sorta blame it one the sociology/phych major she had in college - all the kids with the same majors are the same way, wrapped up in their lives and the family is secondary, see their families seldom. I have had the conversation 10 years ago with her about her friends, and it hasn't changed,. I know she loves me,, don't get me wrong, but there is some thing with these kids,.i can't explain it.I don't know, the holidays and getting old makes me reflective, I guess.
that is so great, that every one appreciated his version! that certainly put the little brat in her place!
got halloween away yet? I am still working on it, then is getting out the Christmas.
We are going to my SIL's for Thanksgiving, which is good, I was so not looking forward to having it here with out my girl, I am still going to miss her like crazy, but hanging out at home would just be too much. this is even harder than i thought, Christmas will be even worse, I can hardly stand it, I am going to be bad and find her the mushiest mom card ever , maybe make her feel some regret too. isn't that bad of me, but I just want her to think of coming home some day, and right now she so isn't. sigh..
Hi Spooki, I know I posted in off topic, but wanted to get with you here, you son did a fantastic job! can't believe that the girl had the guts to do that, very self centered,. some day, she will , hopefully, realize what a a$$ she was. your son played it awesome, and also . was a gentleman!!
No problem - feel free to ask away whenever you are ready.
I know what you mean about effects. We got many compliments about the ground fog from ToTs. Next year my goal is to add a lightning effect. I still want to add some more props, however I'm going vertical - props that will be higher up, like another witch on the roof and an animated spider in the trees. But we'll see what I actually get done before I run out of time, once again.
