What a world, what a world
The holiday torture so feared by me in the previous post actually turned out to be not that bad, as my dad got violently ill the night before Thanksgiving and couldn't make the journey to my grandparents' house. (He's better now, in case you're concerned.) My mom still grilled me in the manner of an FBI agent, but fortunately, I was eating at the time, so I was able to just stuff my mouth full of turkey and nod. Then I distracted everyone with old family pictures until it was time for them to go home! Brilliant! Then I watched The Wizard of Oz with my grandparents and they both talked about how they had gone to see it in the theater (or, as my grandmother still says, "the picture show") when they were little.
Things to be thankful for: Sex and the City comes on in 20 minutes, I still have 2 hours of taped shows that I was too busy to catch last week, four new magazines and a book and a half that I have left to devour, and more than 15 hours until I have to face the crazed holiday shoppers at Pottery Barn.
