[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am single and childless and live far from family so I was really excited to spend the holiday with a friend and her extended family.  They are all lovely people and I was happy to be surrounded by the joyful chaos of all the kids playing and everybody talking over one another at dinner.

I spent hours yesterday making my favorite Thanksgiving dish: pecan pie.  We were all supposed to go to a different house to eat dessert after the football game they were watching ended.  As I was carrying the pie to my car on their darkened driveway I tripped and fell flat on my face and ended up with a nasty bruise on my leg and a pie dish that shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.

They were all so lovely about it but I just wanted to cry.  I was really excited for that pie and wanted to show it off and share it with all of them.  Instead they had to help me clean up broken glass and I ended up going home right away partly to ice my leg and partly bc I didn’t want to cry and spoil their holiday. And I can’t afford to make myself another pie bc pecans are so expensive and I am too broke.  It was a special splurge for the holiday.[/quote]

That sounds disappointing and frustrating. I’m sorry that happened to you. Hope things get better.[/quote]

+1 - I am so bummed for you pecan pie poster. Hugs.[/quote]
