A LIst

  • Since I am English, I don’t do Thanksgiving which doesn’t mean I don’t have things to be thankful for!
  • No, I am not going to make a list–I guess because I have been thinking about a list and it has turned into a chore in my mind
  • today I AM going to open that box from Italy which was here when I got home. I know what is in it. I just can’t be bothered to take off all the packing tape …
  • yes, it does bother me that I am still apathetic
  • we have company coming tomorrow and I dread it. It is not the people but the sheer effort of having to be social.
  • and now they have TWO tiny yappy dogs….  I don’t dislike dogs, honestly, I don’t. But I prefer them bigger…
  • I gave Fred a part of his Christmas present early yesterday. Every year I have bought him a box of Gihardelli’s double-chocolate mix but I have always bought it on line. This time I went to our local supermarket, and there it was! So, I bought it and he has been imbibing!
  • Ok, I should stop this time wasting activity and get going on cleaning up, right?
  • I have a corn, a painful corn on the little toe of my left foot. Only old ladies get corns! So, I guess that I am now an Official Old Lady!
  • bah! Humbug!
  • Have a good Thanksgiving…

So you and Fred don’t have turkey or anything today? Hmmmm. L I am soooo with you on yappy dogs! Thank goodness ours aren’t. I can’t stand the little high pitched barks!! Mmmm, Ghiradellis chocolates!! * drools at the thought * They might just be better than turkey! LOL Happy Thanksgiving to you and Fred! Hugs, M Wow, am I the 1st noter??? L

If you knew my Shiloh you would like at least one little dog but I know what you mean about the “yippy” ones. They are annoying. LOL, funny your other note is from another Shih-tzu owner like me.

Oh, my gosh, are you telling me I am old??? I have a corn on MY little toe on the left foot. I am working on getting rid of it with those medicated little pads that DO work as long as one is persistent about using them. I agree with you about the yappy dogs. I have to face one on Christmas Day. Fred is a lucky man what with chocolates and ALL!

i prefer bigger dogs too :o)

Me, too, on the yappy dog issue. I don’t mind ’em small. It’s the yappy part. I keep having the evil thought that “this would be good for football practice.” And since you don’t do Thanksgiving, have a happy 4th Thursday! 🙂

That’s not true about only old ladies getting corns! I’m not so keen on tiny yappy dogs. Give me a big Springer Spaniel,or labrador any day!

November 22, 2007

Ok, so explain the corn I had when I was 20, will ya? You are NOT a little old lady. You can say it all you want, but I’ll never believe it! Fred’s Christmas present made me drool a little just thinking about it! I’d send you some turkey if I could….just cuz! Love to you! ~M

Those little yappers are the BANE of my existance. My friend wants to bring her two little yappers camping with us and I told her I was staying home if they came. I’m not doing Thanksgiving this year…Jake’s not here anyway 🙁

:-)))) I hope you enjoy it anyway – despite the dogs

The apathy is something that will drop away bit by bit. About the people coming, I can empathize so much because I often feel that way, too, then I usually have a good time and am exhausted when it’s over. I hope it’s that way for you, too!

i don’t like noisy dogs of any size. little yappers are the worst though!! i hope you have had a nice day today, anyway. in all the years you’ve been here you have never gotten into the thanksgiving holiday? is there are sort of thanksgiving holiday in england or is it just in canada? take care,

November 22, 2007

Happy Thanksgiving Anyway. lol r I am baaaaaccccckkkkk

November 22, 2007

No no….. I am certain that everyone gets corns…. otherwise, that would make me an ……. Oh God!

November 22, 2007

I’m with SO on this. You get more distance out of the little ones. And you can fit so many more of them in a chest freezer. BTW did you tell Fred the English version of thanksgiving and the licking off of Ghiradellis chocolates. You could start the tradition now, it is never too late. HAVE FUN…dan

I have observed small yippy dogs are universally disliked by everyone that encounters them. So why do so many people own them?

November 23, 2007

I don’t like yappy dogs too! *huggs*

Hmmmm, I celebrated Thanksgiving even though I’m German. I remember celebrating it in spring time (I think) when I was younger, just the date has changed. 🙂
