Our non-traditional T-Day
I have been raised by the MOST chauvinistic man on the planet! He so lovingly told me one Thanksgiving that the woman's job was to cook and clean and the man's job is to sit and watch football. Now, I am not a feminist by any means but we are in the new millenium and when he said that I about lost my mind!! I rebelled so hard that I refused to cook. I can cook and my husband loves it when I do, but I just get onary. Lately with school and work I have been so busy I am too tired and have very little time. I am in school from 7am to 3pm and then work until 8pm. (I tutor for the Adult literacy Council and when I am not doing that I am holding scholarship workshops in our school library)
So this Thanksgiving William decided that I was going to take a real break. No Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes....none of that. He took me to "Hungry Hunter" where we had a Prime Rib dinner. It was so relaxing and fun.
But here's the craziest part of it all. I was looking forward to cooking a dinner. It was just Will, Isabelle, and I this holiday but we could've had leftovers for at LEAST 2 weeks!! (Much less if my dad would've come down but that's a different story.) I will openly admit that I am a complicated woman and as hard as my poor husband may try he will never win. hahahaha (I'm kidding about that)
I hope everyone who reads this has a great day and weekend!!!

The problem with you is you can't spell onery. Prime rib for Thanksgiving sounds good actually. I tried to talk Mom into doing what you guys were doing but she wouldn't have any part of it. She insisted on cooking so I insisted on watching football on our two channels. Whoopeedoo.
Hey nerdly,
If you want people to visit your blog you have to visit theirs too. It helps when you have a pleasing personality like your fathers. Who can resist such charm and wit?
I hate cooking every day meals. I do it, but I hate it.
On the flipside- I love cooking for the holidays, I even look forward to it.
