Man Cold

This is hysterical only because its so horribly true. The "man cold" is a real devastating condition that both my father and my husband have both had. My father - the man who was in Vietnam for several years is the biggest baby on the face of this earth when it comes to being sick. The moans can be heard down the street and all of us kids (even though we are grown) are required to do ANYTHING to help him. My mother could be on her death bed but my dad has a cold and she is his slave for 24 hours.

My husband is a bit better but not by much. The big Coast Guard guy becomes a little baby when sick. I am required to buy him weird liquid concoctions that "make him feel better" and feed him food. His legs cant possibly lift up to let me sit on the couch so I sit on the edge and lean back over his legs. Speaking of his legs I also need to rub them. It makes him feel better. Poor poor sick men.

Thanksgiving - the real event

So Thanksgiving this year was a pretty tame event. Considering the past couple of years have been pretty different it was nice to get back to the norm.

Last year I was in Ohio with Brett so we spent the day with the Wagner family. We had an amazing meal and great company. There was an odd green Jello dish that I did not touch. Apparently "the boys" love this dish... i decided to pass.

The year before that I got engaged. The night before I puked on myself and blamed Hillary Kiley for puking on me. My white lie would have been ok if I didnt then puke on myself again after I called my mother at 4am to pick me up. Its ok because Sara cried her eyes out to her ex-boyfriend from HS and made my pathetic story less in comparison. THEN I got engaged and my puking was God Damn hysterical!

This year it was just family and one invited bar customer. The "Bar Guy" didnt show so it was just a family event with "Bob's oldest daughter" aka Kerri showing up for dessert and wine. My cousin Amy didnt have the baby so that was good news - the basketball under her dress is set to fall out on 12/21 although we all think it will be sooner. Check her out!
