I hid it well as a kid but now it’s much harder to cover up LOLUsually if I mention it to people they will tell me they don’t see it, so maybe I’m just too self conscious about it. I notice this also. Someone once told me I would snap out of my shyness when I had to someday because I’ll be forced to if I want to function in life, and that’s exactly what happened. Eventually there was no choice. I’m still petrified daily but at least now I can deal with it when I need to. I’m so glad it went well and ended up being a nice experience! I’m still waiting to run into a Dallas star. (Not a Katherine Wentworth in Swan Song-style-run-into of course) I’m sure you won’t. It had to be such a surreal experience for you. I can tell what it meant to you. You certainly traveled a long way for it, that’s for sure! Sometimes the people we meet at these events can be just as rewarding as the event itself. Did you knock anyone over or push them aside? It’s okay if you did. I’ve done this myself. It’s nice you’ve remained in touch. Are you pestering them with questions about Thanksgiving yet? I definitely made up for the loss of candy. Unfortunately the niece and nephew are too big to go trick or treating anymore. I find that ironic considering they were the two people that got me into it finally. Now I want to go and they’re done with it. This sounds like fun! Leave it to health and safety to change things nowadays however. I do get it though. I get it, I get it. I looked this one up and actually found it quite fascinating. I can’t believe I never heard of this before. What an amazing story! It went very well, thank you for asking! The food was great. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, lasagna, string beans, apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, and I’m sure I’m forgetting something else. Let’s see, we watched American Football. Well, the men did anyway until the females turned it off but then we put it back on when the coast was clear. Typical holiday stuff, you know. You know, I checked and there’s no law over there that says you can’t have your own Thanksgiving. I bet your family won’t be as mad once they get a chance to celebrate it. I bet they’d like it. Yes, they’re the main reason I go to be honest. Sadly as they get older I don’t get the time with them I used to but I do understand. Maybe that’s  why I look forward to these holidays so much now. I really couldn’t do six days a week anymore. Physically it was getting tough. Even mentally it made a difference. Of course December is a different story and there are few days off in this business this time of year but I can live with it. Do you miss working every weekend? I actually do sometimes. I love the time off but it does feel strange for me. Maybe I just got too used to a six day week over the years. Thank you LML!!  I hope you are keeping well also and have a nice weekend!!</blockquote>
