Things I said to my sisters over Thanksgiving.
No, my sweater will not be the same after your chest has been in it.
No, you are not allowed to use my <fill in the blank> without asking because you forgot yours or it smells SO good. <deodorant, shampoo, mascara, moisturizer>
No, my taking a shower was not an invitation to take over my bed and drink my chocolate wine. And I am the only one who gets to drink out of the bottle.
Yes, I brought heated sheets and no they are not for us to share.
No, reading my journal while I’m in the shower isn’t an attempt to bring us closer. And no it wasn’t lying open on the bed. It was hidden behind the chest of drawers.
And no I don’t think waving the turkey carcass, butt first in my face brought back nostalgic memories from our childhood.
I, for my part, will confess –
I think putting Everclear in blank’s glass was probably not the best idea.
No, I don’t know who put the ice packs in your beds or I’m not confessing.
To one of my sisters in particular, yes, I know you’re a prude. That’s why I left those kind of magazines on your bed. No, I didn’t know everyone would see them. That was a happy accident.
To another sister, yes, we all know you’re a vegan, however, lobster does so count. I don’t care what you read. And I still think serving you the gory fondant turkey head was funny.
I don’t know who brought the whoopee cushion, but yes, I did use it.
And so another Thanksgiving comes to an end.
Oh one more – Yes, I do need to find itching powder before Christmas.
Sounds like the holidays are a regular laugh riot at your house! Thanks for the hilarity, that was great!

Nothing like family to bring out your immaturity. Whenever I’m around my siblings, I find myself regressing to childhood roles and opinions.

Ha! My mother would kill me in my sleep if I attempted half of that. So instead, I amused myself by posting her quotes on my brother’s Facebook wall all day.

Hi,
I have nominated your blog for the 7 x 7 Link Award. I have also nominated your blog for the Liebster Blog Award. Liebster is German & means ‘dearest’ or ‘beloved,’ but it can also mean ‘favorite’ & the idea of the Liebster Award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. Please visit my post Award Night, http://mynextdateblog.wordpress.com/, to learn about the awards and the rules.

Ant bites can be serious, or even fatal. Angry ants will swarm upon anything in their path and begin to bite if their mounds are disturbed. Every year, millions of people are bitten by ants in the United States alone. Knowing how to treat ant bites is important, even if the only reaction you have is mild..
