happy tday, y'all

i love my job. someone ordered birds and sides for everyone for lunch. chestnut stuffing and mashed potatoes and baguettes and gravy. i finished the jar of cranberry sauce pretty much on my own. when most people had done eating, there was still half a jar left (i had eaten about a third of the jar on my first serving), so instead of letting the nice canadian man take it home, i put it out of it's misery (he told me it would've lasted him till next year). two heaping plates of sides later and i'm sleepy and happy and happy and sleepy. mmm....turkey is so much better than pot.

when i tried to give the girl responsible for the food a hug, she cringed away and said, "no no no no..." but unlucky for her, i had already caught an arm, and her vague dissentions were no match for my determined gratitude. in she went, and we haven't made eye contact since. such is the danger of turkey.

i've ordered three pies (two apple, one pun'kin) for tonight. they're only 8 inches, but there are only ten people...and i'll bring some ice cream too. i'm excited. when we were figuring out food duties, they assigned three whole people to booze. i tried to explain that some of those three people could be bringing food instead of booze, but i was overruled, sigh. i'm thankful for other people and their fucked up priorities.

on a more serious note, i am thankful for my past and my future. i'm still amazed that i can eat whatever i want whenever i want with whomever i want. i'm thankful for smite and smitten :-).
