I almost forgot! One funny thing did happen during the big Thanksgiving Day swinefest...
I had set the table with my nice china, my silver, my nifty Thanksgiving napkins. Everything looked very nice and I was feeling smug. I needed two candles for my candlesticks, so I scrounged around and finally found two white ones that went perfectly with the setting. (Red being too Christmas-y and burgandy not matching the decor... I had silver ones but they didn't match either. So, white it was!)
Anyway, I lit the candles and everyone sat down for dinner. (See the previous day's blog for the big piss-me-off feeding frenzy.) SUDDENLY, I realized that the white candles were DRIPPING BLOOD! EEEEEK!
I had put the Hallow'een candles in with the regular candles and forgot that once lit, they drip crimson wax that looks like melting bloody flesh! HA! HA! HA!
I burst out laughing--almost peed my pants--I thought it was hysterical. Here we were, supposedly having a fancy, serious, sit-down family dinner, and my candles were gushing blood. I LOVED IT!
The funny thing was that nobody else noticed. If I hadn't drawn attention to the candles by howling with laughter and pointing, I don't think anyone would have noticed it AT ALL.
Maybe it wasn't funny? What do you think? Am I just in dire need of a good laugh, or was this funny? (I feel like that commercial for TBS.) Opinions?

No, it's not just you...that's FUNNY!!! I was laughing just reading about it!!
I just wish I'd been there to see it myself. On the other hand, it's probably a good thing I wasn't there--we never would have stopped laughing!!!
Gee, xcircman and I must have the same thought--- it sure didn't look like candles to me, either :)
Are our minds in the wrong place???
