MacMullan.ORG - Miseris Succurrere Disco

This Thanksgiving, I want to do a good job juggling my various roles: sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, aunt, wife (if Brandon comes,) dog-mom (if Larry comes,) and self. What I seem to miss every year is a chance to hang out with just the Spawn, sans spousal units. Any chance we can make time to do this this year, maybe on Friday in place of the old Mom Lunch? Anyone have any ideas of what we could do--besides Lunch (which is perfectly acceptable.)

The real question is: will Lauren wear her red pants this year?

In the meantime, let's get some resources up!
