I'm heartbroken
The thing about Thanksgiving is yes, you give thanks and all that. Yes, it's time to be with family and all that jazz. And I do. Give thanks, I mean. I am very thankful for all that I have. I know I'm lucky.
With that said, I need a moment to whine.
Last summer, my mother married a great guy. The problem is that she moved halfway across the country to start her new married life with said great guy. I'm happy for her. Really, I am. She deserves happiness.
But I still deserve to get my shrimp salad!
This is my mother's culinary masterpiece. It is her signature dish. No one else knows how to make it, you can't buy it, it's not a traditional recipe for Thanksgiving. I can only get it from her. And she's halfway across the country!!! I am now depressed. It isn't Thanksgiving unless I can gorge myself on shrimp salad!
A little piece of me is missing. As I sit writing this, a single tear has formed in my eye. I miss my moth--- I mean, I miss the shrimp salad.
In conclusion, if I don't get some shrimp salad for Christmas... shit is going to hit the fan.

Awwww.... Too bad you're missing your Mom.. Maybe she can send you the recipe? Or better yet, call you on the phone and talk to you while you make it!
