I mean, I know it wasn't actually on Thanksgiving, but it still was <I>something</I>, right? Well, it felt like something to me - so much so, in fact, that I decided I should be allowed to skip Thanksgiving entirely this year and just be thankful for that :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848837284174038083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-73466107667316316952007-11-23T01:58:00.000+01:002007-11-23T01:58:00.000+01:00Thanskgiving hamburger sounds just as good!Thanskgiving hamburger sounds just as good!Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191467009055093356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-74732175611370727172007-11-22T18:22:00.000+01:002007-11-22T18:22:00.000+01:00eheheh I can imagine that negociation happening ov...eheheh I can imagine that negociation happening over here too, except for the last part - it wouldn't have an exact timing, just "some time next week! yeah, that's great!"<BR/><BR/>I liked homemade hamburgers when I ate meat, a lot tastier, so I think it will be good.<BR/><BR/>Traditions are an important thing when you start a family - yes, you need to give them some thought, but also you can get rid of the ones you don't like. It's very creative, very Leo, that's why Leos are great mothers...I'm not making any sense, am I?
