Email me the directions in case, please. I get the impression it’s going to be a very last-minute decision.

Your place is kind of spawn proof right? Because the little one wants anything it can see, and it can find a way to get there. I think it has something to do with giggling and then she’s where she wants to be. I wish I could figure it out. I’m emailing you in a minute for directions.

No, roast baby. That’s even BETTER.

I’ve just sent directions. No lie, as soon as I hit ‘send’ I thought “oh no, I forgot Ben”. So I’m sending Ben his very own directions, and there aren’t even any naked pictures in it.

If you did not get directions, email me and let me know.

Can we have roasted teenager, too? If so, I’m willing to re-think bringing my oldest daughter! Until March, she’s still a member of this board, so I won’t be dragging our stuff out here. But ugh! If we could just roast her, I could get behind that.

Roast teenager is too stringy. They’re better for stewing.

Hey pretty lady, can I bring anything? I’ve got a whole bunch of soda lying around from my proposal defense when no one ate a damn thing\*, and I make a kick-ass pumpkin bread…

\*Technically, one advisor ate a single carrot stick. However, that’s literally it. I was kind of peeved.

Thanks, Blue Kangaroo. That would be nice.

My menu thus far:

Turkey  
Mashed potatoes  
Butternut squash kugel (shut up it’s good)  
The Purple Stuff (ditto)  
Gravy  
Stuffing  
Butter Tarts

Pop is being provided by Blue Kangaroo  
Scuba Ben has threatened to bring Egg Nog  
Supervenusfreak and jayjay are bringing cookies  
danceswithcats is also bringing cookies and probably beer.  
Creaky is bringing champagne and cake and stuff  
Can you all please let me know what you plan to bring, so I know what to delegate?

Slight change here. We will be bringing some baked goodies, probalby, but I am also planning on bringing a spicy mexican bean salad.

How about taco dip? It’s usually a big hit.

I see **supervenusfreak** has mentioned a spicy bean salad, but mine is salsa-based. With those Scoops chips.

You are indeed an evil party temptress.

If I were to come, WHICH I AM NOT SAYING I DEFINITELY WILL, what would you like me to bring?

I’m bringing a special, super-secret recipe dessert that my family calls Chocolate Fluff. If you need something else, though, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do.

I need a ride.

I haven’t posted until now because I didn’t think I could get one. But, then I realized I definitely wouldn’t get one if I never posted. I live in north east Philadelphia
