Holidays make me understand why Louisiana has drive-thru daiquiri shacks; the first Thanksgiving I lived there, I laughed to see a line of cars waiting in the line for frozen adult beverages. Now I wish that Florida had such convenient anesthesia available during the holiday season. But, it is always fun to sit with my 'step-daughter', Andrea, and her partner, Beth, and guess which tragic story my tiny mother-in-law is going to bless us with next. I love the woman, but damn, every story ends in despair. Beth and I promised last year that we would be drinking this year...so, bottoms up and giggles when we know the story is going downhill (we have actually heard them all before, so we know how they end).
I do get to see the new 'step-grandson' (weird, I know...no kids but a 'grandmother')...gotta love the modern family. I don't overly enjoy babies, but it will be fun. And Beth's son is 6 and thinks I am funny.....well, I am... to 6 year olds at least.

I wish everyone a happy, warm, and love filled holiday.
