[Fanfic] Thanksgiving Dinner

... was setting up the tables and chairs in the wide gazebo. South Carolina laying out the table cloth with her younger sister, Georgia, arranging the silverware. Massachusettes was arguing with Wisconsin. Nothing too philosophical. But a simple debate over which sport was better. Football or Baseball. Neither were winning. Florida was gving Colorado fashion tips. In order to accentuate Colorado's ...

Sprog's first Thanksgiving

We went north just across the border into Wisconsin for the usual Thanksgiving buffet with Chats's relatives. The Thanksgiving Buffet is a good solution for overeating. While the food wasn't bad, it certainly doesn't encourage you to go back for seconds. Whereas with my mom's cooking it's practically a crime to leave any gravy and stuffing uneaten. The Sprog had a wonderful time and was the real ...

Thanksgiving in France

... what exactly this holiday was about, whether it was like Christmas, or more important than Christmas (maybe if you're not Christian, was my response). There was another American at the table (from Wisconsin, my neighbour state) and we both tried to explain. Whereupon, we realized we had TOTALLY different knowledge about the holiday. According to her knowledge, it was a religious holiday. Huh? I ...

... anything, you know? PEYTON: A kiss always means something. NATHAN: Talk to your folks lately? HALEY: Uh, yeah actually, my mom sent me an email. Said dad is dragging em all over Wisconsin looking for, like, the Gouda museum or something. NATHAN: What about Chris? (Hands the papers over.) HALEY: Did you go through my emails ? (Takes the papers.) NATHAN: What is this, ...

a dream

I decided to take a nap before going out to Thanksgiving supper. I was deep in a dream. In the dream I had driven the car up to the back door of my Wisconsin cabin. I walked around and decided to look down at the front right tire, which was riding oddly. When I got down to my knees I found a glint attracting my eye. I scraped away the dirt and found a stack of ancient coins the size of the old ...

m4w: i sniffed your hair at the Twilight premiere (NOT CREEPY)

... if there isn't adequate, erm, camouflage. 3. i'll concede one point: pantene has a distinctive smell. 4. how do you have a "missed connection" in Fargo, North Dakota? it's the size of Appleton, Wisconsin. 5. who wants to play a guessing game about what kind of "dash ornaments" were stolen? 6. "medium height, dark hair, long nails, mysterious." that makes my skin crawl, but you know, if that was ...

the post tryptophan consumption polygon {tbbt - sheldon/penny}

...?” Penny wasn’t exactly surprised by the response. One by one, people dropped out after that. Her friend Amy found out that her grandmother wasn’t doing so well and decided to go back to Wisconsin for the holiday. Jimmy’s psycho girlfriend wanted him to come out with her to see her parents, which was fine because Penny really hated Jimmy’s girlfriend. Sam broke his leg playing tackle football ...

Gratitude

... wonderful people who have made me feel at home around them and in their home (as mom lives with step-dad in the home the step-siblings grew up in). My brother and sister-in-law, who have moved back to Wisconsin this past year, and who I am so grateful to for being a more regular part of my life again. And of course my wonderful niece, who lights up any room she is in and who is so good for my ego...

Dear Daddy, #31: Dear Mama,

...Prime and she wants to join Starfleet. Paul's from Mars. His parents are engineers, but he wants to be a linguist. Walter's from New Berlin - he says it's the one on the moon and not the one in Wisconsin. That's a lot of different kinds of people and most of us get along pretty well - except for Alexis from Egypt. She's kinda stuck up. Okay, I'm going to try a few sentences in Vulcan. I hope they...
