Jen! Did you move? How are things?
Hey! I am planning to move this coming Fri/Sat. Let's hope I find some movers to agree with me. Ahem. But I'm officially paying rent there as of 12/1, and new roomie has mailed the keys. So, I guess one week of paying double rent, but given how I am, that's not so bad. Things in general are good! How's Boston? How's your new place?
Grace home for Thanksgiving is FANTASTIC and heart melty.
I had a lovely day with my sister, her partner (plus her parents, brother and s-i-l), my mother, niece, and the best dog in the world. Good food, a nap, some football, and an easy ride both ways on 95.
Now Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on. It's been years since I've watched it.
Sucks, Tom.
How's Boston? How's your new place?
So good! Good luck to you!
Oh, I'm so glad Grace was home for Thanksgiving!!
I'm here at my in-laws. DH just walked my brother back to the Metro and as soon as I'm done on the internets I think I shall go to sleep. Food. COMA.
Might I suggest my sister's livingroom for next year's F2F?
I've never missed one and I'd really hate to... but I'm never ever leaving this couch again.
My cats seem to hear something in the basement ceiling. They are going beserk. I can't hear anything.
Yay for Gracie's first Thanksgiving!
I went to my brother's and got plenty of face time with my 19 month-old great niece and my 5 week old great niece! But, my niece, the mother of the 19 month old, is so very, very pregnant with a son that she looks ready to pop any minute and miserable waiting for it to happen.
I made my first pumpkin pie, with a gluten-free crust and gluten-free stuffing. But they both were a little bit off: the stuffing was over-done and the pie crust was under-done.
Home from Thanksgiving dinner with a friend. We had a great time.
CJ was asked if he was a high school sophomore. He is in 7th grade and shares some classes with one of the boys. He is only 6 months older than L but is a good 3 inches taller and his voice is so deep.
Who isn't comatose after TG dinner & day? Oof. Good day, good company.
I didn't get to a place with Thanksgiving until I was 18, pretty much (it's not like my parents celebrated it when we were little in Canada--they never would) so it's always been an adult friend holiday for me. Even the few times I celebrated with extended family it had much less impact. T-Day is for friends, for me. Christmas is for family. Both are stripped of much of their tradition save the company and the food, but those are powerful components right there.
