Oh man, Calli, I miss Seagrove so much! Have you been to any of the potteries, or the Ben Owen museum and family gallery? Between Seagrove and Eclectic by Nature in GSO, I'm having an acute case of homesick for NC!
Whoa. Good myth.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Wow. In the realm of misuse of 911, I just talked to a (very confused) older lady who wanted police to go to her sister's house to tell the sister that she wasn't invited to Thanksgiving dinner. Today. I sent police to do a welfare check on the caller instead.

There's a Seagrove Pottery store in Carrboro now, so we went there. I took Mom on a Chatham county pottery tour back in 2003 or 2004, and that was fun. We didn't make it to see Owen's work, as Mom tired easily.

Thrive to spite them
Will and had a nice Friday but calling it Thanksgiving. We bought the card game Flux and have been playing it. I ordered the Dr Who Monopoly and was anxiously awaiting its arrival today.
UPS claims that they tried to deliver less than an hour ago but no one was home and they didn't leave a note or the package. i called UPS and they basically said that even though there's no signature required the driver may have thought it was unsafe to leave the package. But they didn't leave the sticky note so I'm pretty sure there was no attempt.
I'm supposed to get a call back on Monday at 10 am.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ryan is at his Chinese lesson. A three-hour lesson feels a bit excessive to me, but I don't really care, because a classroom of extremely cute three year olds is adorably hilarious.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
TCG ended up taking me out today because he knew I was sad about missing my shopping tradition with Mom. We started at The Christmas Tree Shop where we bought all the wrapping and such we need for Christmas and one of those mini pie makers. Then we went to Newport because it was a beautiful day. We wandered around to all the local shops and then came home for leftovers. My grandfather had leftover dinner with us because he wasn't here yesterday. Tomorrow my new little niece will be coming by; I can't wait!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We inadvertently ended up at IKEA today (we didn't intend to shop today, hating crowds and the gross consumerism of Black Friday). (How do you just "inadvertently" stumble into an IKEA, you wonder? Well, we met family for an early brunch, and were meeting friends for a late lunch in the same part of town, and had 2 hours in between to kill. And the mall was not going to happen, but IKEA was close, and we had never been there, so -- Giant Swedish Store With Hilariously Named Home Goods!)
Seriously, that damn store is overwhelming and my feet hurt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
EVERYBODY IS MAKING ME CRANKY!
Not here. Just in the, you know, world. Wonder what I can do about that?
Plus, I think I lost my Smashbox kit and the new nailpolish I bought at the hotel. Will call tomorrow, but blagh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
How do you just "inadvertently" stumble into an IKEA, you wonder?
It totally happens.

I think I may have to vertently stumble into an IKEA. We have had the lumber cut for bookshelves for...years. And still, no bookshelves. I am tired of boxes full of books I can't get to. I shall wave the threat of IKEA bookshelves as a stick, and if that doesn't motivate, then I may have to carry through on the threat.
