howdy, y'all! did ya have a nice thanksgiving? mine was okay. i feel like whenever i go home, i'm just reminded of how much i don't fit in and how it's really not "home" at all. i love my family to death, but we do not get along; we just don't like one another.

however, my little lovebugs-- my niece and nephew-- pretty much trump all. even Jay has to take a backseat to them. my niece is becoming more and more like me, and that's not really a good thing anymore. honeychild has a mouth on her like no other; just all kinds attitude. she's still my baby though. and i'm getting really sick of these damn babydolls she asks for every christmas. last year was baby alive and now it's a chou chou doll. it took me forever to find that damn baby alive doll, and this year i had to fight a bitch* over the chou chou. too much!

and my nephew, my little fat-fat, is just too cute for words. he's gonna have the girls going crazy when he gets older. i miss his little wet kisses and his randomly playing hide-and-seek, then screaming my name for me to find him. i don't miss him yanking my earrings though. those terrible two's are no joke.

i think i liked this thanksgiving a lot more previous ones though. usually, it's our entire extended family gathered at one house. this year, it was just us. less people to argue with and cuss out. i think Jay felt a little conflicted because he had a better time with my family than with his own. i'm starting to think there really is no solution to that problem.

all in all, it was a pretty decent holiday. i got to spend it with the people i love and as much as i can't stand my family, i am truly thankful and grateful that they are my family. besides the osbournes, i don't know many families whose dinner conversation consists of "shut the fuck up and pass the potatoes", "dude, did you fart?", and "capone [one of the dogs] is humping the pillow again". as dysfunctional as we are, it works for us; i wouldn't have it any other way. plus, homemade mac-n-cheese and deep fried turkey? no way in hell was i gonna miss that.

i'm glad to be back at my home now.
