Here are the first set of Thanksgiving Pictures!  And one picture thrown in for atticsmouse!

 

1.  DeLaney and Coltin messing with their new to them sparring gear!  Thank you Kym and Mike!  The kids are enjoying the gear!  So much they loaded down with it this afternoon and let all their cousin's hit at them and then loaded down their cousin's the same size with it and hit them!

 

2-3.  My kitchen table set for the older kids.  Using my Wedding china, I picked a really common pattern so if I found any similar pieces I could add to it!

 

4-5.  My dinning room table set for the adults.  Using mainly my Blue Willow China that was my great granny's and granny's.  Now that Blue Willow China is so expensive and antique, I thought I would let you all know that our grandparents and great grandparents mostly got their sets from their grocery stores!  I shit you NOT!  This set of mine is a combo from both my grandmother's and they were freebes for buying so much groceries each week!

 

6-8.  Up close picture of my Blue Willow China and my good silverware that I recieved from my Granny (my mom's mom) for my Wedding.  I tried to get a decent picture of the B engraved on the stem.  All 13 grandkids and 7 of the step grandkids recieved a set for their Weddings.  Even the kids who aren't old enough to be married and the ones that aren't married have sets!  Their parents recieved the sets when Granny moved into her apartment, then the nursing home before her death.

 

9-10.  This is the metal table with my Wedding China and my mom's good silverware.  I told her to NOT to bring Great Granny's because my sister would throw a mega fit if she did!  When my mom deciedes to pass her things on, I get the set on this table and my sister get's Great Granny's to go with my mom's good china, since I got granny and great granny's china!

 

11-12.  This is an up close picture of my Wedding China and my mom's silverware.

 

13-18.  These are various pictures of things sat out and cooking before everyone else brought their goodies and food for the fest!  The picture of the pie that looks like pumpkin is actually the sweat patatoe pie that I made for my dad! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok so funny story- i was waiting in line to go eat lunch, which was taking forever, b/c people like to go through the line like it's an art gallery- hm, do i want to eat that mac and cheese? it looks kinda good, but i'm not sure i'm in a mac and cheese mood. what about those fries? they look ok. now how many do i want. gotta do it slow so i don't spill any. oops, spilled some anyway. should i take them? nah, well maybe... and on and on. so i was getting pretty annoyed because i had a very small breakfast this morning and my tummy was making very loud noises in class (sorry!). so as i bent down to pick up a tray, the guy in front of me hit me in the head with a plate. a plate. and not the plastic ones, those heavy ceramic ones. he was passing it to his friend and wasn't looking. he said sorry and all that other junk, but i just wasn't in the mood, so i told him not to worry about it, just get your shit, and get your food, so i can eat. ok, so i didn't say that last part, but that's what i was thinking.

had 2.5 meetings tonight (0.5 of which was just to plan with the president of one group). ran a pcr reaction, which i just remembered i forgot to take out and put in the fridge. b'oh! ah well, i'll go early tomorrow morning. the rha meeting went pretty well i think- i had full attendance from all my reps- excellent!! that felt pretty good. hopefully, we can keep this up. also, 2 of my reps got elected to funding board, whereas last year, no one from will vill was on funding board.

sapp meeting was unnecessarily long. some people just talk too slow and too long repeating things. gar, say it once, i get it.

anyways, i kinda have a headache and i gotta study for class tomorrow and such.

I hate the kids at my apartment, okay, I drive like a grama through any parking lot, you just never know when a truck is gonna come around a corner and hit the hell out of your car and run you over!!!

Luckily that's not what happened, my car is smarter than the average car!

SO I was coming around the usual corner to where my apartment is, and doing 20+ around the turn is a truck!  Luckily my car had faster reflexes than I did, I was cruising in 2nd going 10mph (awesome skills I know) and when I went to stop, my car stalled for me and stopped all motion while I stopped myself against the wheel with my arms.  (stopping immediately, even at 10mph is hard)

And the ass quickly drove around my car, and tomorrow, when I get his license plate, I will have him pwned by the apartment complex, reckless driving and such.

If stupidity was a crime, he'd be America's Most Wanted! ><

FOr reference of my car to a truck, I drive a Del sol, yes, this...
