Turkey Madness!

Whoa. What a feast. I am totally and utterly stuffed and probably weigh about a zillion pounds at the moment. Thank God (for real) I had a good Thanksgiving--I think there was a curse on me for a while there: one year I got a nasty virus and spent the whole day puking; then another year I went to Ryan's with friends but ended up getting groped at this guy's house randomly afterward while his parents watched (Keshie saw it all, in horror!) :- ) So finally I got a good one in there!
E and I were invited over to D and L (the couple who owns Clocked)'s house for Thanksgiving, and before getting there we assumed it was going to be a crowded affair. But when we came, it was just them and their family! It turned out to be really family-like and great fun. Keep in mind that since D and L run a restauarnt, all the food was five star. Yum! Even I couldn't get enough of the turkey, it came out perfect. But there was too much food and I couldn't help myself. I ate and ate and then they had all this wine and noooo I didn't drink a lot (probably only half a glass the whole night) but it was delicious! Then someone had the idea to bring out Trivial Pursuit. E and I got on a team and were in the lead for a moment or two (I got a Pope question right, of course, while E got everything pop culture related.) But then we got hurled some crazy question about: After the USSR broke up, which country became the biggest country that doesn't border an ocean? WHAT!? I guessed Ukraine, a good guess, but it was Khazakstan. Ah well. There was come cheating going on as well, on the OTHER teams, hah hah. But to our credit, E and I consistently got the questions right that were given to the other teams. :)
Then, L's stepmom mentioned some Christian stuff because she runs an org. for Christian youth and that made me happy. L said when her stepmom gets together with her coworkers they talk about "Jesus and wine" and I couldn't resist saying, "Oh, well you know we Catholics are obsessed with Jesus and wine!" Then someone found my St. Joseph cord and I had to explain what that is--(Cindy you know how this goes.) It always ends up with me not really explaining it well at all so no one really understands what it is anyway, and then there's a moment of silence before we move on. ha ha!
So we spent at least 7 and a half hours over there actually, and I didn't have time to visit some other friends I thought I might. But there's always next year! Also, it made me feel good that when I turned my phone back on after coming home, I found a bunch of texts from friends and voice messages. Yay! Even my Brit boy had remembered it was that crazy US holiday.
Well, I'm still out of it and don't really feel like doing anything productive today, but I suppose I'll snap out of that in a few hours. Don't think I'll be hungry for a century or two, however. :)
Happy Thanksgiving y'all! Belated, I know, but still--EVERY day should be Thanksgiving.
