Life is INSANE right now people. INSANE. So I’m updating you on my life piece by piece. I have ninety trillion things I want to tell you about - but for now? Some pictures from Thanksgiving 2004.
MrZ and his PRETTY pink suitcase. This is at the train station in Birmingham waiting for our train which was an hour late. Yes, an HOUR late. And just for the record…the Birmingham train station is VERY boring. VERY.
This is the crew on the platform waiting to get on the train. From left to right is BroA (MrZ’s bro), GrandmaH (MrZ’s mom), GrandpaH (MrZ’s dad), and Kay (BroA’s Girlfriend). We’re a bunch of troublemakers - that’s for sure!
BroZ and GrandmaH waiting to order lunch in the dining cart on the train. I was in my seat playing with my laptop because I’m a geek.
GrandpaH and MrZ. I’m in this photo too because MrZ is on the phone with me trying to figure out what to bring me back to eat. I mean - us geeks need to eat too, right?
This is what I look like when I’m so cold I want to cry. And I swear we arent drunk or stoned in this picture. At least I dont think we were…
This is the view from the house we stayed in. This is a lake house that belongs to MrZ’s uncle’s family. They all share it and the six of us stayed there during our trip. That’s Lake Ponchartrain and if you look closely - you can see the New Orleans skyline across the way.
Kay and BroA breaking the wishbone…I love this picture because the smiles are so sincere. After hours of smiling for photographs its hard to catch a natural smile…this one is a great shot.
MrZ working on his 2nd helping of Cajun Fried Turkey. And did I mention we are a FOUR TURKEY family? There were FORTY+ people at our Thanksgiving dinner. And we STILL had leftovers!
As the old saying goes…the road to Hell is paved with delicious desserts. I hovered over this bar for the entire night cramming in more food as even the smallest bit of space cleared in my stomach.
That’s all for now…I’ll post more from our boatride on the Bayou later…
Yay! I’m first! Adorable pictures! And that picture where you’re so cold you want to cry? That’s me right now.
dude I know this sounds insane but I swear I’ve seen that dock from the interstate…I’m glad you are back safely and that you had a good time….fried turkey is sooo yum….we are thinking about getting one for christmas for just the two of us!
MMMMMM…. Fooooood!
Hey there! Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving. BTW, how was the train ride? I don’t travel by plane…ever…and we’re thinking of taking the train up to Boston in the Spring.
OMG 40 people!!! Sounds like a blast, and wish I was at the dessert counter too
Welcome back! You have been missed!
I love it! How much fun… I think that maybe I should have gone w/ you all.
1. Nice suitcase. And this is the guy that doesn’t change his own oil. Uh huh. Figures.
2. BroA’s girlfriend is still damn cute. (uh, not that I noticed)
3. GrandmaH is saying “Ya done with that beer?”
4. “No, Zoot. They I don’t see Krispy Kreme’s anywhere on the menu.”
5. Oh, we all believe you. Really.
6. Wow! Gorgeous!
7. I wonder what he wished for.
8. Yumm! Cajun fried turkey!
9. PUMPKIN PIE! I just fell off the diet wagon.
Great pictures - looks like you guys had a blast. Welcome home!
Looks like you had a great time! I can’t tell you how good that food looks to me right now….since I’m eating toast for dinner as I read this!
Those photos were a delicious teaser to all of the stories you have to share.
And also? You guys are TOTALLY drunk or stoned.
(I might be too, because I’m still shocked each and every time I see your short hair!)
Geesh where were you, Stepford?
HELLO BEAUTIFUL BLONDE PEOPLE!
What’s up with that?
Glad you had a hoot and if the road to hell truly is paved with scrumptious deserts I am ON MY WAY!
“Table for 40, please!” That is so awesome. Were there 40 couch’s and LaZ Boys for everybody to crash on AFTER dinner?
All I can say is OH MY GOD LOOK AT ALL THE FOOD!!!! I think I gained 10 pounds just looking at all of those yummy desserts.
I have to agree with DeAnn — you guys are definitely drunk or stoned
Glad to see that you had what looks like an wonderful, amazing Thanksgiving! But WHAT?!? Not one photo of lilZ? What’s up with that? Aside from the pinks uitcase I LOVE the red bag on top of it. Care to share where you got it?
P.S. You can tell MrZ that his parents are WAY young looking!
Nice pink suitcase. He never brings that when he comes here to visit. I can’t wait to hear all about it…Thanks again for the banner…..
Yay! Zoot’s back! Glad you had such a great holiday.
If I had access to all that food, people would be rolling me around right now. I love the new holiday design, not sure how long it’s been up - thats the stinky part of bloglines, you never see cool new stuff like this!
Forst of all - MISSED YOU ZOOTIE PATOOTIE!!!! The food looks awesome, your skin looks awesome…you have SO got everything going right now girl! Great pics of the family!
Is that cookies with mustard???
My word….if I hadn’t been so busy having 2 thanksgivings and playing w/ the fine sheffield police…then I would have so wanted to be there, too!
40 people?! Damn, that’s a lot of food. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. Mmmm, pie.
Holy cow. Now THAT’S celebrating Thanksgiving in style! Thanks for sharing.
Mmmmm … foood. I probably had soup, up here in Canada.
