Thanksgiving....Dinner...???

So The Boy Friend and I have a great relationship. 

We’ve been together forever! 

We have tons of fun and laugh a lot…... 

Ladies he even goes to antique stores and junk yards with me and does it with a smile!

He understands my decorating sickness and helps me move the furniture, 

change out rugs, change picture arrangements..…whatever. 

But more than anything he understands my need to entertain……..

or so I thought!

Well that all changed last night…….

TBF:  Hey guess what,  So and So called and wants to have Thanksgiving at their house this year…….

Me: * blink  blink *  But I do it every year…..we already have the turkey.

TBF:  I know, but won’t it be great that you don’t have to do anything?  You won’t have to get up at 5:00am and start cooking.

Me:  But I live for that, 

I started planning this years meal at 5:00pm LAST YEAR.

I have fall dishes, 

fall napkins, 

fall wine glasses

……and my stuffing is world famous!!! 

No matter how much I make we always run out!!!

TBF:  Ahhh come on, they really want to.

Me:  OK, but I’m bringing my stuffing…..

TBF:  You don’t have to, they are ordering the whole meal in from the grocery store….

Me:  *complete look of horror, grabs chest and falls to the floor in my last dying breath I call my sister and can barely pronounce the words…….*
