[GonzoStyle]

psssh thats like years

[Goatweed]

right now the plan is for us to go to my sister in law's place for dinner, then I'm gonna bring my son over to my mom's place to see my grandma who might or might not be coming over (depending if she's up to it) to see the baby & give him his b-day gift & to see him for a while. then I get to go home & sleep so I can spend the next day setting up for his b-day party with all of the family on the weekend.

I also plan on drinking heavily at some point.

[GonzoStyle]

im gonna watch a bunch of bogart movies, drink some apple martinis, then end up masturbating and crying myself to sleep... at the same time!!!

[Goatweed]

I gotta make sure my dvr is set for survivor/csi and 30 rock!

I'm going to my mother's for dinner.. it'll be just 3 of us this year since my one brother and his wife are going elsewhere. I'll miss my Dad and it's going to be hard. I never liked this time of year anyway. I wish I could hibernate until March.

Woodbury Commons will be a madhouse, probably even at Midnight.

I went there two weeks ago, and bought all the clothes I'm going to buy for the next five years.

Even at 9:30AM on a Saturday three+ weeks before Thanksgiving, there was no parking and huge lines.

[Goatweed]

I need to do some clothes shopping too, but I need to start my Christmas shopping first.

[Hawt Baux]

I am not mopey, i just have perspective.

[drusilla]

she's not mopey, she's brutally honest.

probably. i haven't been there since the summer. i think we just want to go for the wacky experience of shopping at 2am outside in the cold. i'm sure i will come home with another pair of jeans from lucky like usual.

[faceman802]

My wife does black friday every year with her friend up at PPP in Nyack. I'm always working so I never get the chance, which is probably a good thing since I'd spend more money on myself than anybody else

[drusilla]

yeah i have no one to shop for

Woodbury Commons has the worst parking and traffic setup. Only way to go there is go early and get out in the early afternoon. At least the Long Island Tangiers in Riverhead, despite crowds, doesn't take two hours to get out of the fuckin parkinglot. Only thing Woodbury Commons has some better top brand names. I like the Tommy Bahama Outlet there.

[faceman802]

You can get me a shirt from Express if you'de like

[Gooch]

mopey, drama, negative nancy. all the same shit. one day that family won't be around and those halcyon days of growing up will be over, and you will regret those times where you huffed and puffed over every niggly little thing. how "tough" it is to deal with those who just don't understand the emotional and mental muddle that makes up you.

sorry, i had the same opinion as you when i was 17. just, at the ripe age of 36, doesn't really go over well anymore.

[Hawt Baux]

Um, no you most definitely did not have the problems i had/have at 17.

So don't even act like it because you don't know anything about me.

[drusilla]

yeah i'm with maria. gooch, just stop now.
