Ahhhh, Thanksgiving. A time to gather with family, give thanks, and stuff your face full of way too much food. But for me, the food's not all that great. Let me explain:
There are seven foods in this world that I will not eat. Most of them happen to be traditional Thanksgiving foods. So for me, Thanksgiving is not really about the food (though the rest of the food offered at Thanksgiving is sooooo good.)
1. Cake - I do not have birthday cakes. I might have a birthday pie (excluding #4), brownie, or cookie, but not a cake. The texture just grosses me out.
2. Dr. Pepper - Bad flavor, bad after taste, way too many calories.
3. Stuffing - Just the smell of stuffing makes me gag. I do not like stuffing. No, I will not even like your grandma's "famous" stuffing. Sorry, no can do.
4. Pumpkin Pie - The whole combination of mushy texture combined with a weird pumpkin flavor .... nope that's not going on my plate either.
5. Mayo - I have a friend Mollie who is literally afraid of mayonnaise. I think it has something to do with the way it jiggles.
6. Celery - This veggie also has the gag factor. Just the smell of it will send me running from the kitchen.
7. Tuna - I will only eat tuna if it is raw, cooked tuna is totally gross. A tuna salad with mayo and celery just might kill me.

I've had some massive headaches lately. I have Aleve in my desk and take some every day. I even wake up with headaches. Maybe I ought to look into getting some migrane medicine. In fact, I have a pounding headache right now. I just want to lay down in a dark room and sleep it off.

Christmas is in exactly one month. Have I done any shopping? No.
Do I know what I'm going to get anyone? No.
Does this stress me out? Yes.
I would appreciate ideas on gifts for Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother in-law, Mother in-law, Father in-law, niece, and a generic woman's gift for a gift exchange. And why is it that everyone's birthdays fall around the holidays too? My dad, 2 cousins, two brothers in-law, and three good friends all fall Dec. 18 - Dec. 29. Are you people trying to kill me?

mayonaise is satan's seed. i can't even watch it being used. it sickens me.
i have all the bad headaches, too. i used to use aleve, but it seemed as if i actually built up an immunity to it. i've tried two migraine meds, never gone as far as the shot, didn't need to, cause i discovered good old exedrine. it is, literally, the only thing that works for me. i don't even need exedrine migraine, although if i don't nip a headache in the bud with the regular stuff, i will use excedrine migraine for the next dose and it has never failed.
basically, i am soooo sorry.
you might want to see a doctor. that many headaches that bad could be a sign of something else.
and i totally agree with you on the stuffing. i refuse... REFUSE... to go anywhere near it. hi, i just saw you LITERALLY pull that out of the turkey's ass. no. thanks.
i hate mayonaise too!!! so gross! we have 5 different kinds of mustard in our fridge but not ONE bottle of mayo or ketchup! hooray!
yeah, get those headaches checked out girl. my pathology teacher says if you start having headaches and don't know why and they are some of the worst you've ever had in your life, go get them checked out! they could be serious!
if not, head face and neck massages and heat (unless its a migraine, then use ice) will do wonders!
I did my best to move my birthday away from Christmas - I was due Christmas Eve but came Jan. 8.
I was almost 2 feet tall and 10 lbs. when I finally decided to grace the world with my presence. Mom was mad because I didn't get put in a stocking like all the other Christmas babies and I never got to wear any of the infant-size Christmas clothes she had ready for me.
You can buy your sister shoes! Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, whatever! Niece doesn't need anything, so whatever you feel like shopping for; toys, clothes, it makes no difference! Brother in law, hmmmmmm. He wants a gift cert to sportsmans whorehouse. No, not a typo. WHOREHOUSE. Good luck finding that store!
oh.no.
zero cake? zero dr. pepper? I'm sorry, we can no longer be friends.
(I'm sure you're crushed!)
