I slept extraordinarily late, and I don't even have turkey to blame for it, just the damn cold, which is lingering. Even so, at least I still have 2 days and change of weekend left to enjoy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm getting everything packed up here at Mom's. We spent the day over at my brother's house (they ended up with 22 people for dinner!), and we're heading over to my stepsister's house for the afternoon and evening. Since she's west of Philadelphia in Lancaster County, she invited us to stay overnight, and then Mom will drive back here tomorrow and I'll hit the turnpike and head home from there. It'll shave about two hours off my drive, so I'm going to try and push it all the way home in one day. That way, I can relax on Sunday.
Timelies all!
Thanksgiving was good (and at someone else's house, so no leftovers for us). Later today we head to Timonium for DarkoverCon.
Drive careful, Kathy! Lots of holiday travelers out there!
Forsyte Saga is on. OMG I love Damian Lewis so much.
With a glance, Soames just creeped out Irene in Jane's gallery. Awesome. He's remarkable.
(aaaaaand their kids just fell in love. oh crap. poor Soames)
Hivemind Question--outside holiday decorations: what do you do? Lights, wreath, nothing, huge animated displays? Now that we have a house I want to do something, within the bounds of me being an athiest and the husband being Jewish. I may not believe in God, but I do believe deeply in festvity.

I'm dealing with having to decorate the outside of the house for the first time too, Robin. I'm thinking spruce garland around the door with white twinkle lights and a wreath on the door. It's tasteful, easier to put up and take down, and it doesn't involve me having to get on a ladder.
I'm a wreath person--simple yet festive.
Hmm... you have a bungalow, right? Craftsman?
Line everything in white lights, all those wonderful architectural features and proportions can dress up.
Maybe candles in the window, lights on the walk... festival of lights.
Or, you could go all gingerbread house. Love those.

me too. I have a balcony now! I think I'll just put some nice white lights on the railing.
