Crossed Giblets of Death: The SJ Thanksgiving Family Therapy Thread

That is some good stuff, 21. You didn't disappoint! Wish I could have checked in more today to stay up on the soap opera. It cracks me up.

I am still at family--two nights at my sister's house, but I actually like her and her family. I am a vegetarian, and this sister--she's also my best friend--goes way beyond being considerate. She cooks a zillion things that I'll eat. I don't ask her to. Food isn't a big deal to me, so I don't need it. But she really tries hard just for me.

Other than eating, my day consisted of watched three football games on a large TV, and my brother-in-law and nephew were fine company, so I was happy. I would do this every day, if I could.

Rest of family came and went. I wish I had 21-type stories, but I don't. I wanted to punch my other sister within 5 minutes of her entering the house, but that's pretty typical. I never share stuff about myself with her; she doesn't know me well. I was reminded why immediately. Earlier this week I made the mistake of telling her something personal and somewhat painful. Can't really explain the details, but because of something that happened, and the conversation we were having, I had a choice of fibbing and keeping her blissfully ignorant or being honest and telling her something personal. I don't lie well, so I told her. Naturally, she started to make a "joke" about it in front of my other sister's father-in-law, sister-in-law, my brother-in-law and a cousin.

But I can forgive that, because she has three little boys who are the sweetest kids alive. Having everyone together was nice.

 

I think she's only 42.
