And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, pretty pretty Gracie!

My mother and I made a joint decision this year to skip the mashed potatoes - between two kinds of stuffing, the butternut squash, and all the pies, we came to the conclusion that there was more than enough starch on the table and that nobody would miss them. And you know, nobody did, until we mentioned we'd left them out deliberately, and then all of a sudden they were everyone's* favorite food. Hmph.

*Except, of course, for my father who shuns all carbs according to a set of rules he calls the "no funnel cakes" diet.

I've finally finished uploading all the Thanksgiving pics and am amazed to find that there is not one picture of Dylan enjoying his Thanksgiving sweet potatoes! In retrospect, I probably told my sister (who took most of those) to keep the camera away while he was eating, but still, you'd think one out of the 130+ pictures we took of him in the past week would have yielded one of him wearing his "baby's first Thanksgiving" bib. I hereby turn in my geek parenting card.

Lovely Princess Grace!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Scary graph: [link]

A history of home prices, adjusted for inflation. The graph seems to show that in the last ten years houses have become massively overvalued....

Pretty Grace! she looked so much happier!

I'm all for Jilli's circus - it'd probably be the best dressed circus ever. (I keep threatening to run away and join the circus just to get some peace and quiet.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Grace is BEAUTIFUL.

I was missing all my favorite T'day dishes since we ate out this year and the place had no potatoes and the only cranberries were with the bread. Sunday I made our traditional cranberry salad and some crescent rolls and I have cooked up a butternut squash to make another one of our traditional sides, but I really miss having the leftovers.

When I go to my mother's for Christmas she'll make twice-baked potatoes, with cheese on top. Yum!

Huh. Maybe it's a bad idea to ride your bike without a light at night, going the wrong way down a busy street.

Looks like the kid is OK, though.

Our wings are not tired.

That picture of Grace just made my day.

Of course, his dad saved the day because he came over a few weeks earlier and brought canned pumpkin (which we could not find in England!)

I know! Those Brits don't understand our squash love, nor do they comprehend our cinnamon love. Good thing they have such nifty accents and lovely architecture.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At my last job I was near a Marie Callenders and went there for their turkey lunch all the time. Man, that's a tasty rote dinner. The lunch I had in the cafe here was the first time I'd added yams to it, which made the whole thing a bit too sweet for me, but it was still good.

Last night's injections at the ER were intramuscular, and I'm still sore. I think I prefer them wriggling the needle around under my skin and the concomitant bruising to the after-effects of the IM. The nurse said the glute shot she gave me was the biggest shot she's ever given anyone.

Ouch. I'm still sitting a bit lopsided.

The status is NOT quo.

Aw, Gracie!!
