No need to put sparkly Sparky wishes in that bitter depressed post.
Happy natal!
Today I need to make a final crinoline decision, and I'm having a horrible time pulling the trigger.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

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

Happy birthday Sparky!
I am so wiped y'all. Shortbread cookies are cooling, the pie is in the oven, pecans are spiced and packed, lentil salad mise en place are placed, hair dye is in.
That means I have two and a half hours to pack the car, wash the dye out, get dressed, pick the kids up from school and daycare and get on the road. Oh, and make car sandwiches. Oh, and eat lunch. Maybe. I've done too much cooking to be hungry but it's probably not a good idea to drive 300 miles on an empty stomach...

Yikes, Jessica. That sounds exhausting.
I made my first call and happily the doctor will be able to do what I need. One hurdle crossed.

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

Another gift idea. Or buy it for yourself to help you get through the holidays:

Lee is a taunting taunter who taunts.
You have met me before, right?
I was very good and put all the you stuff in the trunk of my car, so now all I have to do is remember to mail it.
You can do it, Sparky!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I finished making cornbread. Next step is squash and chestnut casserole. After that, trim the green beans for the green bean casserole, which will be made tomorrow.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
All I have to do for Thanksgiving dinner is make a pumpkin pie tonight and apple crisp tomorrow morning, remember to chill the chardonnay (and then get it out of the fridge), and nag Tim to proof and bake the rolls.
Tim's SiL texted me yesterday to tell me this: "Just texting to warn you...there is a tank of liquid nitrogen in our living room. I'm just saying -- this Thanksgiving has the potential to be explosive!"
I read it to Tim and he said, "That's ridiculous. Liquid nitrogen doesn't make things explode. But we can FREEZE THE TURKEY!"
Lord, I am afraid.

Sparky, aren't you nice for working your b-day so someone else could get it off?
Very sweet.
Were you born on thanksgiving?
