See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Our dinner is going to be super late, but it's because I got caught up in Death of Comet drama, which, since no one was joining us, seemed like a reasonable geek choice at the time.

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.

I took the folks out to Dixie Cafe for Thanksgiving lunch (How do people eat dessert with the DC prix fixe meal? It was HUGE!), and will head over to their place for baked ham and pumpkin pie if I ever get hungry again today.

My cats and their likely mother and the big Tom out back all got leftover turkey to enjoy for the holiday. It still cracks me up to hear Jackson growling to warn me away from food that I just gave him.

They pay me in WOIMS

On the bus home. My nephew seems OK for now. The poor guy is getting slammed by puberty pretty hard, though. It sounds like my Mom's conversation with me was her way of expressing her anger that nobody told HER until after the fact.

I'm bringing home about 2,300 old slides, and I'm going to see about getting them scanned.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Speaking of judgable behaviour, who was with me when I bought red fake snakeskin pants? Someone here was. Right now, the spotlight has shifted to bon bon and Theresa (am I getting that name right?). The intent was Faithy. I know that much. And my hair was burgundy.

In the immortal words of Shaggy, this doesn't sound familiar so I'm guessing Theresa or shrift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jess, I am so glad you are all OK! Yikes.

I just got home and started watching this week's The Voice, and was glad to see in a commercial that The Sing-Off is coming back! Hooray!

Our Thanksgiving was nice, and now I am so full it is ridiculous. I felt restrained that I only tried four desserts.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You can come over. I won't talk to you. I'll give you somewhere to sit, cushions, blankets, simple food and drink, Wi Fi and access to my video library (networked and disks). Oh, and the bathroom.

That sounds amazing.

But I am sorry about the weight loss. Yes, a lot of people would like to lose weight. But no one wants to feel out of control in their own body. It's apples and pumpkin pie. Not even just different fruits, totally different things.

but it's because I got caught up in Death of Comet drama

Totally a valid choice. I was pulling for that comet. Because I have mass. And thus a gravitational pull. Also I wanted to see it.

It sounds like my Mom's conversation with me was her way of expressing her anger that nobody told HER until after the fact.

It's amazing that you can take what happened and understand the internal motivations. I think you are probably very right. I hope your nephew finds some solid footing soon.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Pulled the turkey a little early, so back it goes. Soup is warming. Gravy is keeping warmnon the woodstove. Tested the brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodles in the meanwhile and holy cow!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG you guys. I have eaten SO MUCH STUFFING. I'm not honestly sure what the point of the other food on the table was because the stuffing was so good. (Ok, the point of the turkey was to baste the stuffing. Everything else was pretty extraneous. Except the wine. Wine and stuffing. Mmmmmmmmmm.)

Thanks for the good wishes guys. It means a lot knowing you're out there!

Oh. my. lord. I'm nearly fainting with desire right now. ::flail::
