Yep, that pretty much sums up how we all feel here after hours and hours of stuffing our faces.
Especially those of us who are unable to stop putting food in our mouths, long after our stomachs have warned us that THERE IS NO ROOM, GOOD GOD WOMAN - PUT. DOWN. THE PIE!!!!
I plan to spend Friday trying to block out the fact that I’m not shopping - for the first time in years.
And also trying to figure out how a girl like me handles it when someone not so subtly insults her on the Internet.
I mean, it’s just the fucking Internet - right?
Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

Shop online?

:what: No. Shopping.
End if times… end of times…

It’s not Thanksgiving unless you leave the table just a little bit nauseous. Nothing says gluttony like an American holiday.
[Reply]
o.k…… WHO fucking insulted you!!!!
*loading machine gun*

As for the insult bit, just go shopping online. There’s a revolving soup du jour on the web and all things pass unless. By rising to it, people prolong it. Those things never amount to much. Vicious people are a dime a dozen on the internet. In real life they’re usually pretty miserable cases, from what I’ve seen.
I’d give it the attention it deserves - as in go warm up the left overs and don’t forget the gravy.

My God, please take the high road. Dont give anyone the power to hurt you with meaningless words. And please, dont feed the drama, it is an ugly monster.
[Reply]
RW: yep, it’s come to that.
NYCWD: it’s not the end, it’s just different. Different can be OK - right?! Right?!?! :dazed:
Gecko Rock: well, consider me a patriot!
DutchBitch: ah you’re sweet doll. No worries, it was fucking retarded. So not worth the heavy machinery.
RW: excellent advice as usual.
DeannaBanana: you old people are so smart. Seriously. What would my crazy ass do without people like you to remind me?
[Reply]
I made the AWFUL mistake of weighing myself this morning.
Stupid, fucking scale, it’s broken again, because I KNOW I don’t weigh that much.
[Reply]
whoever the hell insulted you can bite me. i’ll handle your light work…send em my way. the fact that i am at work the day after thanksgiving has me kinda pissed and i welcome the opportunity to unleash my hostilities.
[Reply]
I am not shopping either and it feels so wrong!
ps I
you for having emotiocons I can click on with my one stupid hand!
[Reply]
If it’s what I think you are talking about sugar it’s definitely not worth you time.
And at least are doing some shopping.
Not me though. I sent the DH out in the freezing cold before dawn while I stayed all snug on the couch with the puggies.
[Reply]
No shopping here either.
Does it even feel like Christmas for you with the warm weather?
[Reply]
Insults schminsults.
People are freaking idiots.
I am also not shopping, because it’s so worth me paying more to not have to deal with the crowds and general headache.
I, too, ate so much it was disgusting! But it felt so, sooo good.
Happy belated Thanksgiving!
[Reply]
Yeah, no shopping for me, either. When not checking my blog buddies, I’m in bed, cuddling up to my bottle of amoxicillin, hoping the evil strep disappears before the weekend is over. Ah, love being sick during the holidays.
Heard Kohl’s was going to be open at 4AM this morning?!?!? 4 fucking AM. Dude. I’m not a Black Friday shopper, but if I was, it wouldn’t be at 4AM. Nuts.
[Reply]
I just wanna know who insulted you and how? You want me to call somebody?
[Reply]
Hmm, I could have sworn I commented on this earlier. Gah! Must be a turkey hangover.
Anyway, I’m glad you had a good Thanksgiving.
And as far as insults go… well, consider the source, you can’t reason with crazy, right?
[Reply]
Look at you, using Photoshop like a pro! Very cute picture. That almost doesn’t look like Emma, but maybe only because she’s not setting something on fire, kicking her brother’s ass, or coming up with plans for world domination.
[Reply]
Hey- love your blog. On the insulter, think the quality of coments here beats the avg cross-section by far so no worries on the few airheads. The mental rent is so not worth it.
(What is the “Uncheck this box” thing about??)
[Reply]
I went shopping (like after noon): all the good stuff was gone :(
So… I grabbed a VCR (like they don’t even make these anymore) /DVD combo and a couple other leftovers and went to the front of the 10-acre Fry’s and realized it would take me over an hour to check out. Yeah, right: I sat it down and walked out. Kinda wished I’d followed your regretted option this year!
[Reply]
Victoria: scales get the holiday off. ;-)
hellohahanarf: he he he, oh dear, it is definitely not worth YOUR time. Besides, you should be out FINDING ME A MEXICAN THINGAMABOB! lol
Hilly: it feels not right, right? Hope your other hand gets better soon.
Turnbaby: oh jeez, I hope it’s what you’re talking about is what I’m talking about is… sheesh! is there more! Is there a whole group of people out there randomly insulting me?!?! How will I ever get anything done again?!?!
Peggy: when I’m inside with the tree. and the music. And the air on so that we can put on our snowsuits.
Then, YES!
Sybil Law: Happy belated Thanksgiving to you too! Can we officially start Merry Christmas’ing early?
Coal Miner’s Granddaughter: oh man, sick on Thanksgiving is just wrong! And.. heh… I was 5 AM’er. I’m not sure that’s any better.
usedtobeme: yes, please. Call Bath & Bodyworks, tell them my feathers were ruffled and my feelings deeeeeeeeeply hurt and only a gift basket of wallflower refills will cure me.
(but really, it’s retarded, lol)
AmyD: exactly!
isn’t as fun as it was when I was 2.
avitable: you’re messing up my hair.
(but I have to tell you I get kind of gooey on the inside when you talk about Emma - you luuuuurve her, you know you do ;-))
jflins: you’re absolutely right newbie. ;-)
The uncheck box is to subscribe to comments. I should probably go back and make it a little more obvious sometime.
[Reply]
No way, you can’t prove anything!

Where are the pictures of thanksgiving with that Canadian bunch? Thank you for making the holidays better for them; it is the first time in 7 years she didn’t phone home three times a day crying her heart out.
Now, we just have to get through another Christmas.
[Reply]
Britt, the cutest picture EVER! And who is insulting you?? This will NOT work and I must go blow somebody up, do they not know they are messing one of my favorite bloggers and NOBODY messes with one of my favoirte bloggers (i think Adam can take care of himself, and you too, but I just want an excuse to blow somebody up, LOL) :violent006: Let us know who this person is so that we “your people” can take care of this matter. And I didn’t go shopping either, I didn’t have a tent to set up like everybody else so I just stayed home and in my warm cozy bed.
[Reply]
avitable: yet
Momma: awwww, glad I could help her, too. I don’t have any of the pictures yet though because the Canadian bunch is hording them!
Janelle: oh no, my people are DEFINITELY too good for that. Believe me when I tell you there is a long list of people and things more blow up worthy. But thank you. :-)
[Reply]
But I’m a DINK and a child-hater, remember? Oh, and a sociopath.
[Reply]
HAHA!! Yeah, Here too! :coffee:
[Reply]
OMG, what is going on with all the drama and insults lately?
There’s much to be said for living under a cloud of depression…LMAO! Oh, wait I’m out from under that.
And the world has gone completely mad because, I, Lisa, Christmas Hater to the EXTREME, wrote 60 Christmas cards yesterday and went shopping today.
I haven’t done card in 12 years and don’t shop until 12/24.
You didn’t shop? What the hell is going on?
[Reply]
avitable: well that’s true. Lucky for you I have horrible taste in friends.
Peggy: cheers to that! :coffee:
[Reply]
Me too!
[Reply]
Hey Britt my daughter and I love koolaide pies. So since it is Thanksgiving and I go off my Diabetic diet for the weekend we got the stuff to make some.
Only this year we tried to be creative. She wanted cherry flavored koolaide and I was hypnotized by the ready made Oreo crust. The end result tasted like Cherry cough syrup on a stale cookie. It’s ok, we bought the traditional lemon koolaide too, but Y2Kette says she is going to wait until Monday to make it so she wont have to share with me.
They grow up and become evil so fast.
[Reply]
I am out of the loop, but the thing to do when someone insults you on the internet is to let me know so that I can deal with it for you.
[Reply]
so, this is my very first visit to your blog…and quite a visit, had i!
i told myself the same thing about pie…only, no willpower, i inhaled the whole fricking thing…and had to make another one to take to my friends house, last night. and…i ate more. oh, i’m so bloated!
anyway…i enjoyed my visit.
[Reply]
Adorable photo.
Ignore the drama. Seriously, who the fuck cares? (It’s a choice to care.)
[Reply]
Britt:
Jordan Creek opened at 12:01 am for Black Friday shopping. They were expecting around 15,000 peeps. They got 40,000 frickin shoppers! Holy shit!
[Reply]
avitable:
Y2K: but did you take pictures?
Mr. Fabulous: LOL, well thank you. But I wouldn’t want you getting your little hands dirty.
melissa: well thanks and :wave: and come back!
Poppy: yep, you’re right. And I definitely decided OMG DUH.
Woman Lost: probably didn’t help they were the only mall in Iowa opened at that time! LOL
[Reply]
Whoever insulted you is just jealous of your wit and popularity. It’s pathetic. I love Gecko Rock’s comment that ‘nothing says gluttony like an American holiday.’ That has really tickled my fancy. I think it applies to the Aussies as well. Nausea and Christmas seem to go hand in hand over here. Good one!
[Reply]
Your family. Holy shit. They’re beautiful. How much for the girl? ;)
Who insulted you? Just gimme their name. I’ll shank ‘em. Ok, not really, but I’ll think nasty thoughts about them on your behalf.
[Reply]
Selma: my Nana was raised in Australia (British citizen I think technically, but born and raised Aussie). Maybe that explains my gluttonous ways!
QofD: oh no, they’re a package deal!
