Also, I have no plans for T-Day, which is just ducky. M & I have been invited somewhere, and we may or may not go. The only thing I want is food: cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. I can make all of that. I'm perfectly content to stay home and mainline movies, or go out to a movie, or simply Not. Do. Anything.

I did mention I've apparently taken a breather from my usual sort of life, yes?

I just learned that my intimate T-day dinner of favorite uncle (and his girlfriend), boyfriend and housemate has expanded to include my best friend Karen, her 10-week-old, her three-year-old and her husband. I am very pleased with this, since the three-year-old provides constant entertainment. Only sad part is that Sloane doesn't know that one of my dogs has died...and she loved this dog. L-O-V-E-D it to the point that once when I was babysitting, I found Sloane curled up next to Sage on Sage's dog bed. And when it was time to go home, Sloane presented herself at my door, holding a leash, which was attached to Sage. I dunno, thought she could go stealth in stealing my dog.

It's going to be a sad conversation.

I am so ecstatic for JZ! So much to celebrate Sunday night! And I am hoping we'll still be celebrating Suzi's graduation and mom-health goodness.

J, goes without saying that you and M would be welcomed to have T-day with us, too. Lots of stuffing and mashed potatoes. And I made cranberry zinfandel that is fabulous if I do say so myself.

all your d's are belong to me! (er, actually right now to Iris, who is getting a dramatic reading of Miss Spider's Tea Party). She brought yummy wine.

And, I can touch my toes.

Also - commando-training news:pants: 1! undies: 1! !!!

{{{Aimee}}} It's all been said, so I'll just offer hugs.

GO JZ! I hope you get to choose between two amazing packages.

I am, it seems, stuck in Chicago. Yay wireless. Boo being sleepy and crabby.

The ~ma, it is powerful. Today's job interview went swimmingly, and when I got back yesterday's place called to say they'll be emailing me an offer package by Monday.

YAY!!!

I don't have any plans for Thanksgiving (other than not repeating last year's puke fest), and I'm kind of looking forward to it, even though I will miss the LA people.

Woo, JZ! Offer, yay! More good interview, yay!

Yay JZ! Big-offer~ma!

Wahay! Nice one, JZ!

Ok. I love chocolate, but one should not drizzle chocolate on a raspberry bar! It's WRONG.

Whoot, JZ!

I have people here for Thanksgiving but they have the crazy idea of eating out on the actual day and letting me make a big dinner the next night. Or the night before. Whatever. I am roasting beef and eschewing turkey. I will not be held down by the bird!
