Hi Ann & Christine! Thanks for the good Thanksgiving wishes!

Laura!!! I forgot to ask you how your Chicago trip went? Did you get any good pizza while you were there?

Kimmie, glad to hear your day went well :) So how much stuff did you get the Ya Yas and should any of us be afraid??? ;)
 
Hi Ann and Christine! Happy Thanksgiving to you!! :sunny:

Laura, I'm glad someone has him. He deserves to be had. :teeth:

Elaine, Nope... nothing to be afraid of. :p All good stuff, I promise. :p
 
:wave:
Good morning everyone :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Elaine....I love quiet. Holidays especially. I'm cooking, but it is just the 4 of us, so it will be movies and games.....no football :teeth:

Laura, I was wondering how your girls weekend went too. Living vicariously through you :) I do so love girly outings!

Aww.....Carol.....you made me tear up. Glad you liked everything.

Jennifer.....excuuusssseee me? :( Daughter? I'm not that old (close, but not quite). Sisters....now those I'll take as many as I can get!!
I'm an only child, so all my sisters are adopted :)
Carol is one (at least I think so).

I hope everyone has a wonderful, happy, safe day. Enjoy those you are with (sometimes I do miss the big family "dos" that my mom used to host), and eat well :teeth:
 
DEFINITELY! I never had one either but I reckon the ones you choose are the best!
:wave:
 

:teeth: Choosing you get what you want....being born into it, you get it whether you are happy about it or not!

My kids used to fight all the time and didn't really like each other (well, Christin didn't like Geoff.....he is REALLY good at picking on her :teeth: ), but now that they don't live together, it is so much better! They get along great and are actually glad to see each other when they get to.

Well, shower time and turkey cleaning after that.
Everyone is still sleeping, so I might get a quick chance again to stop by.
 
Free Turkeys!! Eat Chicken!!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY, YaYas!!!!:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I watched some of the Macy's Day Parade. (An area HS Band performed but of course I missed that, but my DD saw it.) I went with DS to assist with him taking care of the neighbor's pets. And I even managed to burn something in the kitchen! :( Don't even say what you are thinking!:mad:
I'm almost too embarrassed to admit that it was microwave popcorn! I know, I know. It was the new Scout kettle corn. I read the directions, for once, and it said to put in on high power for 4 minutes! It burned (scorched, actually) to a crisp! :(

To the Swophins - thanks for the delicious sundaes - I see that the other YaYas helped themselves (as usual).

Pam
 
Oh wow I am so happy... my Thanksgiving dinner is about 1/2 done now... I just need to add in the noodles and let the sauce simmer. This is so easy ;) :p

Sorry I just had to say that. And Kim, I am still scared!

How is everyone doing today? I hope not too busy. Nancy I hope you enjoy your nice quiet day too :)

Pam, so what are you cooking for your dinner (or having made)? :p
 
Aye! And a grand sight it was to behold! The temperature in NYC was in the 40ºs - chilly, but bearable!

The YaYas were absolutely gorgeous in their lime green velvet and white fur trim outfits. The Santa hats were perched at the appropriate angle. The white go-go boots were gleaming. Pantyhose pulled tight, no elephant ankle bags......

We were a sensation, I tell you (just finished watching the video coverage of our performance, it brought tears to my eyes - more on that later....)

Putting Jeannie and Elaine out in the front row was pure genius....... their youthfulness and rhythmic gyrating captivated the audience from the get go!:bounce: :Pinkbounc

That all night practicing really paid off - our kicks were high and synchronized, hand movements were crisp and clean. You all hit your marks perfectly!:)

Which, of course, leads (unfortunately) to "The Incident." Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn........ when I put you in charge of making sure Beth would be clothed "properly" this time - I never in a million years thought that she would sway you over to her way of thinking. I was mortified, utterly mortified, to discover during our grand finale high kick number that neither of you were wearing your standard issue white undergarments.:o You made those poor boy band members fall off their float! (The videotape shows EVERYTHING!)

And yes, I know that Sherry, Michele, Karen, Bonnie, and Jennifer will offer the argument that they did wear the undergarment, but showing their butts to the camera so they could "moon" everyone as the five of them spelled out: "YaYas Do It In Style!", which was emblazoned across their panties *Sherry - YaYas; Michele - Do; Karen - It; Bonnie - In; Jennifer - Style!) was most inappropriate!

Oh - I'm not done here yet. Kim thought Apolo was on the Olympic float (sorry, honey, wrong speed skater), and got so excited that she did a series of splits and froze herself to the pavement on an errant piece of ice. The emergency crew workers hope to have her removed within the hour and are confident that her extremities will suffer no lasting harm.

Yes, Jodie, Betty, Nancy, Auriel, and Carol, did a great job during the performance - but that vicious cat fight they got into over the balloon handlers was totally uncalled for!:mad: Girls, they just call Mr. Monopoly "Mister Moneybags" - it doesn't mean that he's really rich. And yes, Jeeves the Butler, might just be a butler, but he is still very nice - and so are his handlers! Let's share nicely, ladies, there's plenty of handlers to go around!!

And Jay was a no-show. We had a man's costume for you dear. A little Liberace looking - but very tasteful.....

I'm sad - yes. All of my family was watching. (and laughing) We can overcome this "Incident", it will take time, but we are YaYas and YaYas are for life!
Pam
 
LOL....Pam, you are too funny!!
That was another great story :teeth:

4 minutes does seem a bit long for micro popcorn.
DH brought home a tin of the chocolate covered caramel corn.....yummy!!

Well, I keep popping back in :).....but DH finally got up.
I need to dry my hair and attend to the beckoning turkey.

Be back in a few ;)
 
Elaine,
My MIL is having her dinner in about 15 minutes. (I'm not eating, but I'll pop in later.) My Mom and Dad are taking us to a restaurant at 4:00 pm. My Mom got diagnosed with lupus two years ago and it's knocked her for a loop. She's pretty fussy and for some reason doesn't want me to cook.....:confused: ;) My brother and SIL will also be going to the restaurant.

Nancy,
That chocolate popcorn is to die for, isn't it?
Pam

Ohhh....yes, only a couple of kernals is filling...so much chocolate :teeth:

LOL....can't imagine why your mother doesn't want you to cook :rolleyes:
So will she become adjusted to the lupus? Is she on medication for it? My cousin was diagnosed years ago and she cooks and does lots. I think she's having 25 for dinner today :eek: Better her than me ;)

Okay...I have to go wrestle that turkey into the roaster....:wave:
 
Pam you are too funny!!!! You crack me up all the time :teeth: Sounds like a nice way to spend Thanksgiving too.

Nancy, good luck with your turkey. I guess since I am not much of a turkey lover I don't mind that I am not having it this year :)

I need to get dressed and go to my dad's to check for mail & packages. I'll pop in again later :)
 
Nancy,
She is on a couple of types of medication as well as receiving a shot once a week. Her's in in her joints, etc. The winter months knock her down and sometimes her wrists, knees, and fingers swell so that she can't even wash dishes!:( My Mom is THE original Susy Homemaker - everything is cooked from scratch, including buns, cinnamon rolls, etc. Her house is still immaculate!

And then there's me....:( Who hates kitchen, and cleaning devices of any type!

Pam
 
GOBBLE GOOBLE!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :bounce: :wave::tongue:

Ok I've got a curling iron warming up and a chipotle sauce that needs to go under the mixer- and I am batty enough now to get those two appliances mixed up! People are driving me nuts-too many cooking styles in one kitchen :crazy:. Wouldn't be Turkey Day without ;).

Pam's cracking me up, Carol's package from Nancy causes a stiff-upper lipped Brit to crack :p and oh Kim!!! Happy Belated!!!!

I have to go there's smoke coming from somewhere!!!:eek:

:Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :jester: :jester: :jester: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :p :bounce: :Pinkbounc
 
Hello. I just wanted to say hello!

Great report Pam! Now I can tell Roland where all the scratches on my arms from! But we should have men there next time - where were all the boys?

Night all, have fun! :wave:
 
Hi all... just popping in before I put up the dreaded Christmas tree. Not much fun to do as I always wind up all scratched up :eek:

Hi Carol! Good to see you pop in... I know we are very boring today aren't we?

Jeannie, have you been taking cooking lessons from Kim & Pam? ;) :p
 
Carol,
We won't bring up what happened when the EMT's treated your scratches. What is it about you and a man in a uniform?:rolleyes:

The Cabana Boys were filming their new 2003 calendar: "Totally Hot, Totally Uncensored Cabana Boys."

Elaine,
Isn't it great??!!:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc Jennifer and I have opened up our very own cooking school - "Someone's In The Kitchen - And It Shouldn't Be Us!!" Jeannie is our most promising student to date! Yay, Jeannie!:Pinkbounc

Pam
 
Can I join your school??? I know I can sort of kind of cooked, but you all are so much fun to be around! I even burnt a paper towel on my range today... and I have an electric range too :teeth: So does that qualify me for joining you all?

I am in the middle of putting up our Christmas tree right now. I only have a few days to get it all decorated and if I don't do it, it will wait until I return. So... I better get back to it all. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!
 
Well, Elaine,
It appears that you meet Jennifer and my high standards of burning, I mean, cooking food! You're in!!

DD once caught a tea towel on fire as she attempted to use it as an oven mitt.:rolleyes:


Same DD is going to put up our tree and all the decorations, both inside and out sometime over vacation. $50.00 sure motivates a teen!!:D
Pam
 
It is so lonely in here that I'm beginning to feel like the Maytag Repair Man.

Soon I'll be forced to pull myself out of this boredom by xeroxing my buttocks and PMing the image to all of you........
