{{{Jessica}}} Health~ma to your grandfather.
I don't think I'll be eating much yummy Thanksgiving food today. My tummy's been upset for days, and it's not better today.
Xander: Hey, Red. What you got in the basket, little girl? Buffy: Weapons.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
Just dropping in to say Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it and happy Thursday to those who don't. We are headed over to friends' house in a bit.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Today I celebrate the fact that I am very thankful for all of you and this place we share. Your wisdom and humor and support are constant and invaluable.
I will, however, be doing this celebrating while madly cleaning the house for my Niece's arrival tomorrow, then showering and off the the SiL for family and eating.

Huh. I just wandered in to say exactly what Robin said...only she said it much better than I might have.
On this day of thanks, I'm appreciating you all.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
SON OF A BITCH, I DROPPED THE MOTHERFUCKING PIE.
Im using a disposable pie plate because I couldn't find my pie plates. As I was moving it onto the cookie sheet before baking (which I should have done in the first goddamned place, but I didn't want to waste parchment paper), the disposable pie plate folded and the fucker dropped. FUCK. Luckily it landed on the counter (and me) instead of the floor. I had to reassemble the pie. My perfectly cut out circles are now lopsided with raggedy edges. Thank god I had extra circles for repair. FUCK.

I'd eat your lopsided, raggedy pie, Vortex.

Glad the pie was recoverable, Vortex.
I just realized I might not have pie today. Huh.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Huh. I guess I should start the pie.

Our wings are not tired
Once again, I say Pie, yummmm. Who cares how it looks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Vortex, Laura is wise:
funky crust means you didn't get store bought pie.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone who's celebrating! I'm running in to agree with others that Bitches is people and a "place" I'm grateful for.
Jess, so many good wishes for your grandfather.
Happy belated Sparky birthday! And anyone else's I've missed, a year of good things to you!
Things I'm grateful for this year: My mom's well taken care of, comfortable, and content. DH's surgery, while horrific in the first 24 hours of recovery, seems as though it will have improved his quality of life significantly. I sidestepped my own health scare this year. And after weeks of worry and near-frantic caretaking, I have my house to myself, with no one here but the cat. I plan to watch dvds, read fic, take a long solitary bath by candlelight with my choice of music (uncriticised by the *men* I live with) playing softly in the background, and when I'm ready I'll grill my chicken breast with rosemary, garlic and ginger, and have it with steamed broc served with coarse sea salt, and steamed rice, followed by sweet potato sauteed in butter with dill and ginger for dessert. And I'll raise my glass and wish us all well and happy.
