"You are REALLY dumb..."

Hello to all!

Let me just start out by saying, Washington is NOT as exciting as Greenville or North Carolina...But with the Haughey residence, we do what we can. 

First off, I would like everyone to know that I introduced the YouTube video of "Hide ya kids, hide ya wife" and "You are SO dumb. You are REALLY dumb" to the family.  And Bob will not shut up saying it.  He even went as far as cutting out my picture when I was 13, and taping it to the Bad and Busted part of the Newspaper...you know, the newspaper with all the DUIs and arrests? Yea, there's my lovely 13 year old face with a caption "2nd speeding ticket. You are REALLY dumb" written under it, next to homeboy who got arrested for battery and interference with a 911 call... Cool, Bob. I was the laughing stock of the family on Thanksgiving day because he passed it around the lunch table...no, I will not provide a picture.

But let's see, I guess everyone knows, or will know now, that EVERYONE knows EVERYONE in Washington, Ga. To give people an idea, Washington's townsquare is VERY similar to the one in Gilmore Girls. Anyway, Tuesday night, when I got home, Mama, "Deddy," and I went to the townsquare's Candlelight shopping. This is when all the stores in downtown stay open until about 9:00 at night and people just walk around shop. It's like a miniature Black Friday for Washington. But because I have gotten so old, I barely knew anyone walking around, except for my highschool friends that I would occasionally run into.  But the best part is the SNOW. Yes, Washington creates fake snow and it falls from the street lights on the square every year on this night.  Even when it's 68 degrees like it was Tuesday night.  You can't get anymore redneck. Promise.

But as for Thanksgiving Day, 3G get excited for left overs. The menu was:
Turkey (Two kinds: Baked and Grilled...Thorne decided he wanted to grill one as well)
Dressing and Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Creamed Corn
Butterbeans
Squash Casserole
Brocoli Casserole
Greenbean Casserole
Sweet Potatoes
Mac and Cheese (Crock-pot style...delicious..right schliz?)
Asparagus
Deviled Eggs
Rolls

Dessert: Chocolate Cream pie, Iced Fudge Brownies, Pecan Pie, Cheesecake, and Carrot Cake

ALL HOMEMADE.

And don't worry, the Irish priest who married my sister and Thorne joined us for lunch, and he ended up carving the turkey for us becuase none of us could.

He's such a cute little Irish man.

As for today, we went Christmas tree shopping. Normally, people would think you would just go to a little place that sells christmas trees, pick one out, no big deal. BUT with our family, it's a big deal.  We loaded up in the F250...That might I add, I was FORCED to drice...and headed to Augusta (1 hour away) to find the perfect Christmas tree. We spent an hour to an hour and a half looking.  Finally, Ann found the perfect one. Here's a picture of my brother-in-law and "deddy" getting ready to mount it...the netting is still on it, so it looks a little skinny here.

Tomorrow I will be heading to Athens for the UGA blackout game and will take as many pictures as possible to share.

Other than this, this is the extent of my Thanksgiving holiday. Washington struggles with excitement.

I love you all and can't wait to reunite on Sunday...and I guess celebrate someone's 21st birthday on Monday....haha but really, GET READY PC, 3G will be out and raging for MARCIA!
