I'm trying to get pictures of Matilda in the Foofa costume before she destroys it and makes JZ's head explode.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ugh, I am sorry it is sad-making for you, msbelle. I can see that. Our holiday plans are still up in the air. Christmas usually is at our house, and that's fine by me, but I'd be happy to celebrate Thanksgiving at someone else's.

For Thanksgiving, I want to watch the parade, want the traditional food, want to watch the Cowboys play, and then lounging and board games the rest of the weekend.
For Christmas I want to decorate the tree while listening to holiday music, go shopping on the 24th and 26th, even if it's only one store, christmas eve church, traditional meal, up early for presents, all the rankin bass shows and the grinch the week leading up.

We are Thanksgiving orphans this year. Moved too far away to spend it with family and now, with my mom gone, it would feel strange to cook a feast for just the two of us.

Those sound good to me, msbelle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You could do the modified feast my sis and bil have done.
Turkey breast, a few sides, a pie... and buy some good bread for sammiches the next day.

I am pretty sure we have an invite for Thanksgiving if my parents do not come up, but I am not sure I can manage it. On the one hand it would be good to be around friends, on the other, I know myself and my crazy and if I don't get to see the parade and the football game, well it's unfortunate, but I know my limits. I should just embrace it and make it work here at home.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, msbelle, I know your grump, down to the "must clean, can't clean unless the child is gone, need sleep and so can't clean anyway no matter what" misery.
Ugh. Hec just took Matilda out on a bunch of errands, wearing the remains of the fairy costume we got for her two weeks ago because in mid-Foofa she flipped out, pulled a petal off her collar, smeared her hand all over the not-quite set glue and was just barely stopped from smearing it all over herself and me, and declared, near tears, that she no longer wanted it. So he took her out before my brain leaked out one ear, and now I'm alone and it's blessedly quiet but also an utter pigsty.
Bleah. Shower, dress, ibuprofen for the headache and ointment for the cold sore, and take some stuff down to the freecycle shelf at the recycling center. Not gonna aim for more than that.

Matilda's already got her first timeout of the day.
Anybody guess the over/under before bedtime?

I have a small wastebasket of candy. I'd better get trick or treaters. Send your cranky children here!
I have no idea what time it starts around here. I'm going to the pool in a bit, will probably be home by 5. It'll still be light out (last night of that!) and well, this neighborhood seems perfect for the activity.
Ran most of my usual errands, including picking up Mister Kitty's food. He's made such an impression at the vet. They all remember and ask about him!
I've got to clean tomorrow, will probably pick up this evening.
