cuteisawayoflife[Right now, if she were at home, Quinn would be planning out her Thanksgiving strategy: eating just enough to be polite, but not enough to make a pig of herself and gain weight like most people do. Or in Dad's case, end up with heartburn.
She'd also be awaiting a visit from her grandmothers and aunts, a novelty which would wear off once the fighting started. Rita and Mom screaming at each other until Mom was unbearable to be around, Grandma Ruth criticizing Mom at every turn, Dad ranting on and on about Grandpa, Daria and Amy sitting off to the side grinning and eating popcorn. And if Brian and Erin came, twice the tears and twice the screaming.
But they're her family, and she misses them. It's been two years since she's had a proper holiday with them, geeky and embarrassing as overbearing "family days" are. Plus, the weekend after Thanksgiving always has some of the best sales! (Then again, it's a little hard to get excited about fifteen percent off when everything here is free.)
Right now she's decorating her and Daria's place with cute little brass leaves and colorful candle holders, and she's made some potpourri with dried cranberries. Cranberries always smell so good, and they're such a fashionable shade of red, too!]

Date: 2013-12-12 01:26 am (UTC)Maybe this place has one of those plastic ones. [This is said mostly to elicit the horrified reaction she's pretty sure it will get from Daria.]

...bugs? Wait, you mean...Christmas trees have bugs in them?!

She's definitely not fashion-conscious enough to know what Quinn would like for clothes or hair or makeup, and she doesn't really know Quinn's other interests well, but she wants to get something meaningful.]

Date: 2013-12-16 03:52 am (UTC)Do you have a color-coded Christmas list for yourself? [Yep, shameless angling for some ideas of what to give.]
