Thanks for the house~ma, guys. I think Nora and Tom scared us off from looking for a little while, but our apartment building just sold so we've started again and it's very exciting.

??? I didn't mean to scare you! Was it because of my paranoia? But house~ma to you!

It's okay, Nora. I'm easily startled when it comes to doing things I consider adult behaviour. Thanks for the house~ma!

Daniel, that sounds like a great thanksgiving. I made two things that are traditional on my side of the family and two things that are traditional on Greg's side of the family. It was kind of nice.

Oh, Deena. That house is lovely. I hopehopehope, that if you decide you want it, that it'll be yours. House~ma!!

I was supposed to go over to a friend's house to play with babies and set up a Christmas tree but I'm all tuckered out after a day with family. Think I'll stick with wine and listening to thirty second snippets of songs on iTunes tonight.

I think I'm totally burnt on the 70s show. I've been enjoying it, but I want something different, now. I think it's time for a bath, with a little Lush and some Angel comics.

House-ma, Deena! How gorgeous.

I'm still at the Miracleborn's. Mmmmm, food...mmmmm, friends....mmmm, pie...

Thank you for all the Thanksgiving wishes, all. Backatcha.

House-ma to you Deena!

We had a very good dinner, with as much laughing and snark as you might expect with this group. Everyone but Lori, Polgara, Sarameg and I are already asleep, and I suspect I shall be soon. All in all, a Good Day.

I forgot to say earlier--I got to meet Sarameg finally. Yay!.

Cindy - you are a sweetheart.

I did go to my cousin's. I ploped in a corner and spent most of the day crocheting. I ate a bit and it was delicious. My temperature hovered just under 100 most of the day, so I still feel like crap.

C went to her father's for t-day. I got a text message from her mid afternoon that said something like "It's not Thanksgiving without a drunk dad". Even though we were 2+ hours from home (3 hours from her) I called her and asked if she needed us to come get her. She said no, she would have dad's fiance drive her home if it got too bad. Well, she was home by 4pm. Her boyfriend came and picked her up so she would not have to be by herself, but she is due home anytime now.

House~ma to Deena - that place looks fantastic!

I hope everyone else here had a great day with lots of good eats and better company.

Went to a friend's parents'--a gorgeous house on a hill in Brentwood, where we got to watch the sun set as we ate. I was just the six of us and it was a very relaxed dinner, with great conversation and the KICK ASS potato/portobello gratin that my BF made. Got home early enough to slounge around and catch up on TV. I am wearing my new flannel pajamas which not only have a goofy/cool "sock monkeys doing fun things" design all over them, but I got to put them on warm from the dryer, so I am in heaven.

I hope all of you had a day which made you happy.

I did. I'm glad to hear Aimee didn't murder anybody today.

We had a really good and easy dinner, and a nice day. Even though it wasn't so different from a normal day for me, it still felt like a holiday, which is always good.

The only wrinkle was that the windstorm, which has been threatening on and off for days, hit with a vengeance last night. For some reason, Mal's room was the loudest, sounding like a whole pack of coyotes with their tails caught in blenders. And the house, made of poured concrete, was shaking. Things kept hitting the side of the house, and there are no trees that high off the ground, so we figured it was a selection of cats and small dogs. Mallory, who was so exhausted, kept being woken up by the shrieking or the thumping, so we put the bassinet in the Pack and Play and he camped out in the TV room, with the "ocean noise" CD on. I think he quit howling around midnight.

I'm trying to talk the DH into going Christmas shopping today, seeing as how it's a traditional American thing to do, and yet stores won't be any more crowded than usual.
