Oh, God. Not only is the TMI back (I think what happened is that I finally had half a grilled chicken breast last night, and my stomach just wasn't ready for it), but Pottergate has flared up worse than ever. I mean, Sister Girl borrowed the movie from me last night. She has finally seen it. Why is it such a big deal? She apparently had words with Mom over it--keep in mind that my mother is extremely complaisant with Sister Girl; it's not like she's going to pick a fight with her or speak harshly. When it comes to my sister, Mom's the frickin' Vichy Regime--and just now stormed past me and slammed her door. Apparently she's refusing to help Mom cook, which is more of an emotional wound than a practical hinderance, because Mom's been ably cooking all of this herself since time immemorial. And Mom was then so hurt that I heard her yell--probably intending no one else to hear it--"MAYBE WE JUST OUGHT TO CANCEL THANKSGIVING THEN!" OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS STILL GOING ON? WHERE IS ANYONE'S HOLIDAY SPIRIT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? AT LEAST YOU CAN EAT! GROW UP, ALL OF YOU!

:( Sad. Holidays in my family are often an exercise in indigestion, too.

Sorry sounds like a theme from when I was younger *grin*. My parents are coming to visit ME for Thanksgiving these days *grin*.

The holidays have always brought out the stressful little things in my family as well.

I hope you feel better very soon!!!!

*hugs*

I hate family arguments, especially before a holiday.

*more hugs*

Just how old is this Sister Girl?

As for me, I'd prolly ignore them both and become a true martyr to the cause, roll up my sleeves and start cooking.

Unless you really don't care, then screw em.

She's unloading the "You've ruined another holiday" bomb this early?

Eep.

Got a spare space at the table, if you can make it up to Kansas City. There'll be an orgy of Season 1 Millennium viewing afterward.

Join us... join us...

In my family we eat Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday because my father ALWAYS works Thursday, and he's the only one who can cook (I'm learning SLOWLY in my own apartment). The good thing about this is that I can still make the obligatory meal with my boyfriend's family Thursday. I lover her but, my future MIL is SCARY!!! like, omgwtfswallowyoursoul! (thnx Cleolinda) scary... This year she's having WWIII with her daughter who lives with my bf and I... there DRAMA oozing all over the place and SIL is not going to dinner tomorrow, so all the family obligation is shifted to me as the evil son stealer future daughter in law. PLus, she found out that we're having dinner at my parents tonight (like we WOULDN'T see my family, but we'd see hers?) and that I had planned to deep fry a turkey (gotta give it a try) on Sunday so she's going all mopey about "maybe I should cook something else," when she knows her son and husband could EASILY eat their weight in turkey and potatoes and then go back for more. She always plays the Martyr... ~beats head on desk~

What's your "TMI"? Do you have IBS? I'm not trying to be nosy, just sympathizing if you do, since my husband deals with it 24/7.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

IB... Irritated Bowel Syndrome? I don't know what I have, quite frankly--it started late Friday/early Saturday morning, and it's basically the stomach flu, just not with throwing up. Yeah.

[edenssixthday.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope you feel better soon!

On behalf of younger sisters everywhere, I must say that it is our duty to annoy, pester and generally be a bother to older siblings. This is in retaliation for the teasing, abuse and general crapulence bestowed upon us by our older siblings. It is a tenuous balance, an honored tradition going back thousands of years.

That being said, this tradition usually ends by the time the younger sibling graduates high school.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

She's going to be nineteen next month! GAHHHHHHHH.

[carebear080787.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I am a younger sibling as well. And it's only fair that I am annoying in retaliation for her being so evil to me when we were growing up.

[jennnk.livejournal.com]

cleo, whatever it is you have, i woke up with it on monday, thanks. i'm still dealing with it now. this sucks, for both of us.

I had food poisoning two years ago at Christmas. There's nothing quite like having your family eat The Meal Of The Year whilst you roll on the bed in agony -- and in danger of getting ick of the already digested variety on yourself. If that was oblique enough. I feel your pain. Get well soon!

[illmantrim.livejournal.com]

un fun! TMIgate and Pottergate! lol

[snacky]

Ugh. Poor Cliodna! I hope you feel better soon!

[yarha.livejournal.com]

You've been dubbed Cliodna! I never knew...:)

Yarha, C-Leo-in-Da?

From someone who is studying American History, I have to thank you for the Pottergate comment. I snickered heartily, felt like a huge geek, and was all too proud of myself.

Maybe you should tell Sister Girl to take a few minutes for a little time-out. She sounds awfully worked up over this.

o.O

For some reason, this makes me wish I'd grown up with sisters even more. All the yelling in my house was about homework.

[carebear080787.livejournal.com]

Heh. In my family, it's always my older sister who is being the drama queen. I'm laid back, so whatever, I roll with the punches. Not so for my older sister. She can't let things go. She sulks and tries to ruin everyone else's holiday.

[elbales]

Take care, Cleo. Feel better. Drink lots of flat Coke.

And I'd let SG stew in her own juices for a while. What a brat. (Aren't I nice?)

[likescarecrows.livejournal.com]

You know what's worse though? Both your sisters fighting, thus ruining Thanksgiving AND Xmas. And it's over practically nothing at all! =p

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm a mom, I want help cooking too!

Wait, I'm all done...too late. :p
