And the holidays are back... with a vengence

Well, Thankgiving has come and gone and it's officially the Holiday Season, complete in Chicago with our first real stick-to-the-ground snowfall. This T-day was the coldest fucking Thankgiving I've ever experienced -- it was 17 degrees when Bil and I stepped outside to walk the 5 blocks to my cousin's apt. for the big ass feast that awaited us there. It was very nice -- good people who were friends of theirs from their church group. So, as you can imagine, Bil and I were on our best behavior. I think that the swear word tally out of the two of us was maybe only 1 -- Bil said the dreaded sh-- word when he told the story of the crazy Bostonian on the subway with the hatchet and the butterfly knife. I avoided drinking all together in order to not accidentally slip and say something scandalous. And we did have a nice time. But I did miss out a bit on being the godless-heathen-with-the-mouth-like-a-truck-driver personality that I might normally be. And I felt a bit false about it all. (I still felt like godless-heathen me when I mentioned that we *gasp* had lived together before we were married.)
The high/low point in the evening came when we were playing Trivial Pursuit 90's edition that we, the terrible sinners, had brought over at my cousin's behest. One of her married friends was reading a question that asked what show had Shannen Doherty playing both a witch and a bitch. (The answer is Charmed...) But good-Christian-friend of my cousin's got halfway through reading the question out loud and stopped. "I don't---I can't--- well the answer is Charmed. And I'm not gonna read the rest of the question because it has a Swear word in it."
I looked at Bil. He shrugged. If only one of us had read that question, we wouldn't have even thought twice about saying "bitch". hehehe... oh the scandal!
I mean, now, come on! "Bitch" as defined by Merriam-Webster "1 : the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals." It also notes these other connotations: "2 a : a lewd or immoral woman b : a malicious, spiteful, or domineering woman -- sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse 3 : something that is highly objectionable or unpleasant"
Therefore, I am most definitely a bitch. A bitch (def. #2a) who uses bitch-words (def. #3) at the bitch (def. #2b) who lives downstairs with her bitch (def. #1). Swear words are such fun! Just like the holidays!

That, bitchy readers, is all.
