Subject: Re: Beautiful Day!
We had great shopping, found a few little things here
& there. I found a coat I want to give [Sister H]--it's
black velvet, kind of a Victorian-style with sort of
dusky burgundy velvet roses sewn to the lapels. She'd
look adorable in it.
I laughed uproariously at the Xmas sweaters--these in
particular not only had the fooferaw glitter, beads,
and appliques in Festive Holiday themes (Xmas tree,
gifts, poinsettas, etc) all over the front, but also
had FEATHERS at the collar! Dear Ghod! You know...I've
never seen anyone but my family members just stand in
the middle of a store giggling like maniacs...I think
we're weird. But I love us, anyway.
We had a Tina appt. at 5. I got my hair totally
CHOPPED! I love it! It's exactly like Nicole Kidman's
look at the begining of Stepford Wives--too cute. It
definitely plays up my cheekbones & cute button nose
rather than jowls & double chin like the old hair
length did.
After Tina, [aunt L] & I went back to their house. [brother A] &
rubber_pig called. [aunt L] laid a smackdown on rubber_pig. rubber_pig
was being insufferably rude; she first offered to
"share" her Thanksgiving recipes with us, so we could
make them for Thanksgiving. And then when [aunt L]
politely turned her down, said "Oh, then I'll just
come to your house and cook them myself" whereupon
[aunt L] laid the smackdown: "NO. This is MY thing at MY
house and we do things MY way. If you want to bring a
dessert or a side, that's fine, but you are not
cooking at my house."
The GALL. Just because she leeched onto our family
with that fake ceremony, does NOT mean we are going to
dump OUR holiday traditions to make HER Thanksgiving
shit. Good lord. How rude/clueless do you have to be
to even THINK such a thing, let alone SAY it out loud
to someone!
Even UB, with all her past Low Carb lunacy, has never
EVER demanded or asked for special menu items for
Thanksgiving. She may not like it and she may complain
before and after, but she knows the 'when in Rome'
rule.
Good lord...you know the world has sunk to a new low
when you've found someone worse than UB. feh.

It sounds like you had a good, productive and fun
day! [sister H]'s jacket sounds absolutely gorgeous!
I like laughing at tacky christmas stuff, too. :)
rubber_pig's conduct was truly appalling, and I am sorry
you all had to endure it. However, I am glad of it,
if only because [aunt L] let her have it with both
barrells. What a bitch.
More later!

me:
It would be one thing if the traditional [aunt L] Thanksgiving was
something that she was allergic to or prohibited by her
religion...and even THEN there are gracious ways to enjoy someone's
hospitality while avoiding the threatening food item(s). But that
whole "I would like to share my recipes with you"...OMFG! Appalling.
Elaine may bring a turkey, since she's decided she isn't going to do
a big thanksgiving supper at her house later the same day. I hope
rubber_pig will not take that as a sign that she 'won' anything.
Sorry you're so busy! We are so caught up we are trying very hard to
look busy. It's bizarre.
I may give [sister H] her present at Thanksgiving, since I won't see her
at Xmastime. And then she'll get some more use out of it, too, since
I'm sure it's already butt-cold in Indiana.
