MY BEST THANKSGIVING DAY EVER SMOKE AND ALL
Most of you know I have been in the hospital, out of the hospital, around the hospital, sitting on top of the hospital, looking at the hospital from a far and over my dead body am I going back to one.... blaaa... blaaa. blaaa...Well I aint going to bore you girls with all those details because I have more important stuff to talk to you guys about today the day after Thanksgiving day. Okay maybe I will bore you with only one pertinent need to know info before I start my miracle on Hula Girl STREET’S story. And that is with my jaw bone being partially amputated recently I could not eat a lot on Thanksgiving Day... but still the day was full of good stuff that made me satisfied that I made it through another day on planet earth.
Also, God making me not being able to talk on Thanksgiving Day (because my mouth hurts just to open it) was a punishment worst then pulling my finger nails out slowly one by one and that made me not even want to get out of bed yesterday. And still I found love where loved was needed the most in people’s lives on Thanksgiving Day without even leaving my neighborhood. aaahhh...the wonders just learking around in life just waiting for someone like me to find them.
My mouth has to heal.... so I had to find ways to brighten up my brain ....and give my mouth happy thoughts to play with so I could make it through Thanksgiving day. But deep down I knew Thanksgiving Day to me was going to be the day from hell..... Because on top of my eating and talking hurdles I had to endure yesterday... I also had to deal with this huge sink hole in my way to Happiness on Thanksgiving Day called my mother in law the racist.
Most of the time I can find a path through, a tunnel underneath, or a way around any thing if I put my mind to it... but being sick right now makes the job a little more challenging to find my way around having to deal with my racist mother-in-law. So you know what I did girls I just made other plans which did not include her. But no worries she went to another family members home and probably had a great time..
So how did my Thanksgiving Day go since I did not spend it with some racist mean people? Well Bill and I decided to spend it all by ourselves and have the whole Thanksgiving Day dinner catered so Me being sick and William being William would not have to lift a finger to do any thing but change the channel to find the next football game on the boob tube. Aaah... this is the life... having the nearest grocery store cook Turkey and fixings for ya on Thanksgiving Day. ha ha ha!
But then thoughts of the unfortunate people of this world on Thanksgiving Day crept into my mind and I thought about my dear buddy across the street whose son died... that is when I had a feeling her and her family’s Thanksgiving Day was going to be more challenging then mine so William and I went over to see how she was doing..
Nope she was not doing good. She was off her rocker and a scattered brained nut case. She gets like that when she is stressed out and sad and then she gives up, shuts down, and does not move unless I sneak a bomb up her butt and light it to bring her back to reality. I looked in her frig to see what she had for Thanksgiving Day’s Dinner and saw there was not enough food for the amount of people who was coming over to eat at her house at 6 o’clock. I don’t why she had people coming over to eat when she was mentally incapable of cooking... but that is what she wanted to do ... and saying any thing to the contrary would set her off .
So William and I jumped in head first into her fantasyland escapade and hoped for the best on Thanksgiving Day for her and her guests. I thought if Jesus could feed a million trillion people with just one loaf of bread and a fish then this would be a piece of cake for Jesus to feed this little group with the little food my girlfriend had in her refrigerator. (Please note to give her our Thanksgiving dinner would have been taken... as a put down to her .... that is the state of mind she was in at the time or I would of gave her all our food in a heart beat) But food was not the extent of our problems...
First, my dear friend thought her turkey was already cooked so all she had to do was warm it up 15 minutes before her guest arrived. WRONG! Then she did not know what to do with the little itty bitty small portions of potatoes, and stuffing she had hanging out in her frig...I think her mind just went blank because she was so stressed out that she could not think straight so she just turned off and fell off the deep end when faced with a dinner meal for all these people on Thanksgiving Day.
I was sick on Thanksgiving Day so William took over giving my girlfriend directions as to how to cook the turkey and fixings etc.. He actually wrote out step by step directions for her to follow ... I know how sweet of him ha? When he finally thought she was on the right tract with cooking her Thanksgiving dinner William took me back home at 2 in the afternoon to eat our Turkey dinner and put me to bed for a nap. The more we stayed at home the more uneasy we felt knowing our friend was across the street cooking when she was not in her right mind to do so. Her guets were not to arrive until 6 for dinner so she had four hours to get her act together.... but I knew this dinner was not going to happen with out a little help from God above.... and since I don’t believe in him being able to physically fix things for her in any time in the near future William stepped in to help her physically now when she needed her dinner made.
So after my short nap we walked across the street to see how she was doing with the Thanksgiving Day dinner cooking and to our surprise smoke was barreling out of every nook, cranny, window, door she had in the House. My first was that she caught the kitchen on fire. But when William opened the oven he could see that turkey juice was over flowing it’s pan and onto the bottom of the hot oven and that was making lots and lots of smoke through out the house. On top of that she crammed in the potatoes and stuffing inside the little oven so tightly that it looked like one big cluster caa caaa was waiting to happen. Now it was only minutes away from her guest’s arrival time so I ran around opening up windows, doors and any other orifice in the house that could vent smoke, then I took fans, and forcibly blew the rest of the smoke outside. In the mean time, William was in the kitchen saving the Turkey. Then I ran across the street and got our left over potatoes and stuffing when she was not looking and added that to the stuff she thought she was cooking because we felt that her food might not be edible for her guest to eat after all that smoke.
Just when we got the smoke out of the house and the kitchen cleaned up and the dinner table set in walked her first wave of guests. Whew that was a close call. So I guess God (what ever you conceive that to be) was with us helping us make this a wish come true for her because it was a miracle every thing turned out the way it did for her.
Then we said hello to her guests and high tailed it out of there quick before something else started to burn
NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A FUN THANKSGIVING DAY TO REMEMBER....
AND TO THINK THE ABOVE THANKSGIVING DINNER WAS ALL MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE I HAVE A RACIST MOTHER-IN-LAW AND MEAN IN-LAWS THAT DISLIKE ME IMMENSELY BECAUSE I WALK TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUM! HA HA HA!
Hope you all had a Thanksgiving Day full of love and laughs and adventures like we did!
Aloha,
Lei
