Because books.

Apparently she was planning to serve fish until the other aunt rebelled.

Yikes.

I'm going to a buffet tomorrow, where we will tip well and thank the waitress directly for working and ask her to pass it on to everyone else. And someone else will cook and clean up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Chanukkah!

We're going to my MIL's for Thanksgiving, as usual. We're bringing an apple pie.

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

Pumpkin pie is in the oven as well as a half-sized buttermilk pie. I am taking a break.

I keep adding to what I want to make.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Chanukah and Thanksgiving, everyone!

That's probably more true to what the Pilgrims actually ate at the first one, but there's a reason turkey & dressing has become a tradition.

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

I have three USB cables in the living room, three in the bedroom, and one in my purse. I feel if I buy another one, it's too much. If I take any of my six home cables anywhere, I'll have too few here.

But clearly I'm not coping, so shopping it is.

Waze got me home in half an hour. Totally new route, no freeway, none of the four freeway alternatives I could think of, but home in reasonable time. Whoah, dude. Can I pay for this? I should pay them for this. Google told me the delay was an hour.

If you start making historical accuracy a goal, where do you stop?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We're not home for either of the holidays this year and while we will miss family, I am so glad not to be in that madhouse. We just did so much travel already, we couldn't and I am so happy with that decision. Furthermore, at our favorite breakfast joint this morning, we bought a pecan pie and some butternut squash soup so my dinner prep just got eased.

Kat! Thank you so much for the goodies! (Which were delivered to the wrong house, because our new postman is not the sharpest pencil in the box. I've redelivered three packages to neighbors myself.)

But yay, LEGO vampire! Sparkly bat stickers! Thank you very much, and smooch the twins for me.

And continuing the me me me burbling: I scheduled the consultation for my next tattoo! Saturday Dec. 7, at 7pm. Which means Pete has a little bit over a week to finish working out the design.

(Pete is not enthusiastic about my plans for more tattoos, but has come to accept that I get to decorate my body the way I want. And I want the Addams Family motto inked on my arm.)
