Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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!

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

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.)

I do draw the line at inviting people to dinner and then giving them fatal infectious diseases so I can take their land.

Pfft, slacker. That's the only fun part of Thanksgiving. That, and throwing dinner rolls at people when they ask you to pass the bread.

This is why some people prefer sweet potato rolls.

Trust me, my dad would still lob those to you overhand.

Aaugh, I have to make two things of sausage stuffing tonight. I need to remember that.
