Are you lonely today? (page 2)

LyinEyes

You know what till you asked, I didnt think about being lonely.... which I am not at all this year. Every other year I felt loss, cried at commercials about family getting together and all. This year is my first THanksgiving, so it has been a year of change for us.

I guess I have let go to the dream of family all getting along and being together, I am talking about the extended family outside of our home.

The five of us, hubby and 3 kids are having a wonderful day planned today and I fell truly blessed.

I also feel that since so many are celebrating this day also,,, all the "evil worldly" people makes me feel part of the real world. It is good to know that families all over are together and taking a day to be thankful for what they have too. I feel sorry for the ones out there that do feel alone, and wish them love and to know that others do think of them.

I have been cooking since 2 this morning,,,,,,,, Turkey, homemade stuffing, corn, tomato gravey, salad with homemade ranch, red potatoes, brown N serve rolls, and I will make a pie later.

I guess if your mate and kids were in the same boat as yourself it would be easier. For those with mates and children still in the Org. it's tougher.

LyinEyes: Cooking since 2:00 a.m.? Where do you live? Can I come? It's not Thanksgiving in Canada - ours was last month! What kind of stuffing? Savory? I love turkey stuffing. It's really not fair of you to describe your meal - I'm sitting at work and just had a sandwich for lunch .

Oh well, poor me, good for you - Enjoy!

Some of us actually wish we were going to be a bit more lonely than we will be. One of my sons is an idiot and to be honest I hope he doesn't show up. Is there such a thing as a grinch for Thanksgiving? But we will have some good friends over too. Friends without family.

I didn't really feel like I was missing anything until I got an email from my sister today. She and I both were baptized in 1974, she was 14 and I was 9. She got to leave the "truth" when she turned 18, I stayed until 33.

I know leaving the JWs is hard at any age, but...at least she has had time to make lasting connections with people outside the org. She told me she was at her in-laws place for Thanksgiving, all about what they were eating and how many friends and family were there. It all sounds so cozy and warm.

I'm not sure if I will ever get to feel that.

Hey SmolderingWick - maybe you and I should invite ourselves over to LyinEyes' place next year !! I've never baked a turkey and would rather be in the "tasting" category. I'll bring the wine !!

acsot,

It's a date!

If you bring the wine, we may not need the turkey.

I had to work today, I'm sitting in my student's barracks ALONE answering phones (that aren't ringing) watching FoxNews, and playing on the puter. The students are all either on leave or pass ( I threatened to strip to my boxers, socks and T-shirt and watch football if they stayed in the barracks tonight). I did go over to one of my friends houses for a late lunch at 2pm. I absolutely MUST cook though, so last night I made a turkey and giblet dressing. I also made two pumpkin pies (homemade down to the crust, though I bought the pumkin puree instead of cooking down pumpkins. I made a steamed chocholate pudding. Homemade Vanilla Cream sauce and homemade lightly sweetened whipped cream, and an appetizer of cream cheese and shrimp cocktail served on crackers. I LOVE TO COOK, any sexy gals need a hard working soldier boy who likes to cook (but doesn't want to do it ALL the time)? JUICY BIRD! The white meat was moist, the dressing scrumptious. I only had my step son to share it with. The Wife ran off to NYC about four weeks ago (good riddance), my one daughter lives with her mother, and my other son and daughter are visiting their mother.

Anyone whose in South Carolina next year is welcome to come taste my cooking. WAITING, I owe you and your hubby a good home cooked meal.
