Arghy, cupcake, you always come up with such fun stuff.

[xsmommy]

i would never call it anything other than Christmas, arghy, because i consider it sacrilegious to take Christ's name out, but otherwise that does have a nice ring to it!

yum, turkey and stuffing! xsSIL is suthren and tends to cornbread dressing instead of the stereotypical northerner's stuffing. i don't like wierd crap in my stuffing, no chestnuts, no sausage, no seafood. just normal stuffing, though i have taken to putting cranberries in mine.

[xsmommy]

hm. i cook good. : P

[hobbes1]

i don't like wierd crap in my stuffing..., no sausage,

Hmmmm...I always figured you would appreciate a good sausage stuffing.....

i misspelled weird, didn't i? in my dotage my exceptional spelling skills are failing me. i have problems with weird/wierd and niece/neice and today i had to ask a colleague to double check my usage of principle/principal. as my grandma used to tell me, "Xs, it is no good to get old..."

[Argh]

Oh, well, I knew you'd have the élan to appreciate it, Miss C!

[Bella_Bru]

LMAO! Arghie, that is great! A+

[SeaDragon]

Well, darn! There goes my homework.......

I didn't even post on it. I brought it to class as soon as I saw it.

[xsmommy]

how could you grade her, the thread was pulled??? what sort of illicit sapphic goings on in the grading ??

[Robert A Cook PE]

Homework:

Hmmmmn. A toughie.

Enervate: State of having weekend knees, or of not having a lot of energy, eh?

Local: After partaking of breakfast in bed on a weekend, most coquettes are either enervated. Or energized. (Guess it probably depends on the status of the cuddle coefficient and local warm cozy blanket function....)

Political: After the Tuesday elections, most democrats are enervated, shocked at their loss of their stolen Senate seats.

[xsmommy]

sausage is fine, just not in stuffing.
