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.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

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:

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I haven't read any of the Twilight books nor seen the movies. But just reading the movie review of the last one it seems like the wussiest narrative cop-out I've ever seen. So lame.

Happy birthday, Sparky!
Everyone's Thanksgiving prep posts are making me tired. Luckily, we're not doing much this year. M might be making a pie today, as is his wont, but otherwise all we have to do tomorrow is show up with drinks. (We're doing T-day with Gris and his lovely family, who live about a half mile from us.) And I feel extra lucky that M doesn't have to work today, since Rose's daycare apparently is closing at 3:30 today, even though I asked them LAST NIGHT if they'd be open regular hours today, and they said yes. WTF? Good thing M can swing by and pick her up, since I need to work a full day today.
