Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Apparently if I go to bed really late, I wake up after 5 hrs. Good to know! Time to cranberry. Well, as soon as it won't rudely wake everyone up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I slept a lot again last night! I really thought those days were behind me. Negotiated our time of departure with my mother -- she's not concerned about being later than the time we were told to come, since dinner isn't for hours, but I think that's rude since we're bringing hors d'oeuvres. Traffic is a crapshoot and often a clusterfuck on Thanksgiving around noon.

Today I have been to Roxbury and Jamaica Plain, and two train stations. I'm getting very good at knowing where clean public restrooms are...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kat, you have probably already decided, but I vote ginger and garlic. That sounds particularly delicious right now.

I hope you can find breakfast, Jess, and don't encounter any more wackaloon drivers (really, spellcheck? Warckaloon is more of a word than wackaloon?)

Have a calm and relaxing day at work, Connie. And a profitable and not too stressful day for you, Theo.

Good race, meara! 5 miles, that's long! You can do it!

I stayed in bed until some light came in my window, which was awesome, and now I'm going to have some coffee. Maybe I will give the rabbits a carrot, get their Thanksgiving feast going early.

meara, have you tried microwaving scrambled eggs in a mug? Am I remembering right that you were the one thinking about it? Anyway, I am becoming a fan of microwaved scrambled eggs in a jar - it's quick, I don't need to dirty a whisk or fork to beat the eggs. and I can see how done they are through the door (important because I can never remember even the rough estimate of how long it is supposed to take). I experimented with keeping jars of mixed egg stuff in the fridge to just pop in the microwave and I'm not thrilled with how that works, but having everything but the egg in the jar ahead of time still makes for a quick and easy breakfast.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I used to do it in a one-egg sized glass bowl, which also made it the right size for an English muffine, which is generally the destination for eggs I make.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

YOU GUYS. I am cracking up. KISS was in the parade, rocking the fuck OUT. They even had pyrotechnics.

And kind of the best part is that the Adventure Time balloon followed behind KISS, so it looked like Finn the human was screaming with excitement at seeing KISS. (I'm pretty sure Marceline the vampire queen would be in the KISS Army.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Green bean casserole is now in the oven. Still need to do stuffing and mashed potatoes, plus put the pie in the oven.

There was just someone in the parade singing in Spanish. I wonder how long it'll be before the Twitter freakout.

Someday I will stop eating low carb and enjoy English muffins on the regular again. Not that I am eating low carb today, but I am not eating English muffins, as it turns out. Just stuffing and pie.
