And the big dog knocked over the five year old. Woops.
Slap my hand now!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Jess, so scary! I'm glad and grateful you're all all right.
The neighbors had attendees cancel on them, and have asked us over "between games" to help them consume wine and dessert. We shall take the pumpkin pie with us to share.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stuffed and drunk, waiting for pie.

The line at the buffet went around the corner, so we went to our favorite diner, where the manager is an old friend and the wait staff has seen us all the time. It wasn't insanely busy, so they could stop by and chat occasionally, and the TV was on in the corner, and everybody got what they wanted. Not a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving, but the pie was insanely good. Home for naps. Though Hubby dumped us off to go visit his father's grave. Not sure why he wanted to go alone, but he died this time of year and Hubby can do things on his own.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Cancel the alarms! There was pie at the dinner.

Thank god! Dana.
Jess, how scary. I'm so glad you guys are okay.
Sigh. I was in a good mood most of the day. But breaking in new coworkers is hard.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Escapesgiving here went well -- I was happy of the company (especially the dogs, who were loves) and my friend seemed happy. Good lord, I really didn't realize how commercial the Macy's T-Day parade was, each and every float a commercial. Plus, when did country singers start using auto-tune?

Instead of cutting up turkey, used a trick from Doug Henwood - basted the turkey with melted butter every half hour. Juicy, tender, flaverful and golden brown. Stuffing was cooked on top of stove. My cranberry sauce was whole cranberries cooked with one apple and 3 tangerines in lemon juice - spices sugar, cloves, cimmano a little salt - plus sugar (well splenda in my case). Really good cranberry sauce. All of the preceding have been eaten. Brussel sprouts are being consumed as we speak. Pumpkin pie to follow.
