We're going to my boyfriend's mom's, a few hours north of here. I'm NOT looking forward to it at all. We went last year, and between the NOT-IBS-friendly food, the constant yelling (nobody can talk at a normal pitch), and the fact that EVERYONE in his family chain-smokes (except him!), it was a miserable experience for me. I'm actually already counting the hours till it's OVER.

Casey- thats why I offered to host this year and invited people of our choosing... I could not include on purpose those who are problems, and in our house- no smoking allowed...

We are going to my mom's for Thanksgiving. She has made the turkey for as many years as I can remember....I hate to admit it.....but, I've never done a turkey.
She makes a great Thanksgiving meal & I bring the mashed potatoes & yams & rolls.
It will be a nice Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to it.
Hope all of you will have a great Thanksgiving, too.

Love your new pic. You look so gorgeous & sultry. WOO HOO!
Sorry your Thanksgiving will be so miserable. Hope it's over in a flash. Maybe you can talk you BF into leaving early.
Good luck Barbie

finally someone looking forward to Thanksgiving today Well it sounds like it should be a nice day and I hope you have a great time! I can't wait to host Thanksgiving dinners or just any kind of dinner party. I love that kind of thing - though I can't see myself making a turkey - maybe someday..

I'll be having thanksgiving with my parents, my brother Mike and SIL Kristin, my brother Dan and SIL Mary, and their new baby Bethany, and Mary's parents, all at either Dan or Mike's house. Probably Dan's. They live 5 minutes away from each other so we probably won't decide until the last minute. I'll go to my parents' house on Tuesday or Wednesday, and my mom and I will make the turkey and several appetizers. Mike will probably make his amazing roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and the SILs will make a few side dishes too, along with Mary's mom's amazing crock pot meatballs. I don't know what she does to these tiny meatballs but it involves grape jelly and they are so yummy. I'll only have one, I promise. My dad will bring too much wine, we'll all drink too much, everyone will try to hold the baby more than everyone else, and my brothers and dad will fall asleep before it's time to clean up. That's pretty much the way it goes for us, and I love it!

Well that just sounds like a fantastic time for all! See, if you hadn't shared I wouldn't have known that grape jelly goes with meatballs! LOL Enjoy your day and try and win the baby-holding contest!

WOW! What a crowd. Thank goodness my mom can still do the turkey...I've never made one and wouldn't know where to start.
I know what you mean about the rain. I'm getting sick of it.
You and your family have a great Thanksgiving.
