Thanksgiving 2021 (last part)

I think one of the reasons that Joyce wanted to do Thanksgiving this year was so she could make the most spectacular Thanksgiving table I’ve ever seen. It was amazing even by Joyce’s holiday décor standards. She even went to a paint-a-plate place and handpainted the plates we used for dessert with fall designs, each … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2021 (last part) →

Thanksgiving 2021 (part one)

Like last year, I got to have Thanksgiving twice this year, once on the actual date, and once a couple weeks earlier. The reason was the same: the show. They want for our Thanksgiving episode – the one that airs the day before Thanksgiving – to show us having a Sharpman family Thanksgiving, and the … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2021 (part one) →

Turning 29 (last part)

I was still talking to Sumter when it was announced that dinner was ready in the dining room. It was a buffet of southern food, supervised by Meemaw even though a professional caterer had been brought in to do the actual cooking. The centerpiece of the spread was, of course, fried chicken, although there was … Continue reading Turning 29 (last part) →

Turning 29 (part 3)

Although I was being left to ‘my’ guests at my surprise birthday party, and had already spoken to a lot of them, I didn’t know where I should turn next after I finished talking to Luke and Sabrina. It was Keaton who solved that for me by coming through the crowd in my direction. “That … Continue reading Turning 29 (part 3) →

Turning 29 (part 2)

When I looked around at all the people at my surprise 29th birthday party, I couldn’t believe that I had that many friends. I mean…I did that post a while back where I listed all the people I’ve mentioned in the blog, but that included people like Monica and her fucked up family…and baseball players … Continue reading Turning 29 (part 2) →

Turning 29 (part 1)

Y’all know that I like it when people take notice of my birthday (which, by the way, is on November 8 lol.) I said that on the show without thinking…and, as a result, I got a huge pile of birthday cards from viewers. Yeah, I counted the cards (with the boys’ help): there were 245 … Continue reading Turning 29 (part 1) →

Halloween 2021 (last part)

So the big day came, and Johanna (he was a chick that day) said she wanted me in the makeup chair in Maya’s bathroom at 3:00. I had no idea how long it was going to take to transform me into a green-faced witch with a fake nose and chin, but that seemed awfully early. … Continue reading Halloween 2021 (last part) →

Halloween 2021 (part 2)

Joyce really liked the idea of me getting dressed up as a witch – not a wizard, like Matteo is getting to be, a witch in a dress and pointy hat – for Halloween. “And they’re really giving you green makeup?” “I don’t know for sure,” I said. “I haven’t talked to the makeup man…woman…person…” … Continue reading Halloween 2021 (part 2) →

Halloween 2021 (part 1)

Halloween (or, as Miss Jensen in 7th grade English always told us to spell it, Hallowe’en) was pretty fun growing up. We’d all get costumes on (can anyone guess what my go-to costume was as a kid lol?) and go trick or treating – we lived in a neighborhood with enough kids to make it … Continue reading Halloween 2021 (part 1) →
