I gave in at 10:15 and asked him if we were going to meet. ::sigh::

What did he say?

Hey, what are your feelings on Summer Glau pictures?

We're all lazing around the house post-waffles.

I'm going to drag Emmett out of the house to play catch shortly, since I know once he goes back to his Mom's house this afternoon he'll be playing Call of Duty on his Wii 24/7.

We had a nice low-key Thanksgiving at EM's house. I was grateful that she was hosting this year. Our oven's broken and I wasn't up to it this year anyway.

But I think we need to change up our menu for next year. We've gotten into a (tasty) rut.

When I drop Emmett off I'll also collect the turkey carcass from her so I can make homemade turkey stock. I love a big stock pot going on a cold, November day.

I've come to the recognition that November is one of my least favorite months. Not only did my mom die in November, but it's like looking down the muzzle of a seasonal-affect disorder gun with nothing but cold, darkness, gloom and rain to face. Fortunately, Christmas is a useful distraction of lights and homey comforts and excitable kids.

I have no more homes to link to, but I did just take a break from invoices and found some decorating inspiration:

aside from the couch, this is the feel I want in a living room: [link]

kitchen want: [link] the fridge you can see here, I have one, it is my pantry: [link]

Colors for my bedroom, mostly pulling the greens and purples, sparingly the deep red, and wanting amber pieces. [link] [link]

Not getting much for ideas for mac's room - he wants yellow and I think I like some ideas in this: [link]

Emmett's bedroom has yellow walls and a blue ceiling.

msbelle, try Ohdeedoh for kid's stuff inspiration.

It's an offshoot of Apartment Therapy, which is one of my largest timesucks.

Msblle, I saw a decorating show last night where they ripped out an original 1960's kitchen. the fridge looks a lot like yours, except it was muddy brown, not pink.

It should be the episode that pops up when you mouseover the episodes link, Tracy and Terry's Kitchen. There's no pictures of the appliances, unfortunately. [link]

that makes me sad Sue.
