The kitchen is full here and I didn't want to be in the way making b'fast (and every horizontal surface is covered with place settings) so I put off b'fast then eventually needed to go out for a meal. Volunteered to pick up some stuff while at Trader Joe's. I pretty much love cycling to TJ's anyway, but I especially appreciated it today as the cars were all backed up waiting for parking spots. Zoom - right to the bike rack. And it wasn't too bad inside, either. About the normal busy line rather than crazy busy holiday line.

ETA: ita, I hope you *do* get better this year. Just for its own sake...although I'm sure it would help the $ situation.

What am I thankful for? My family, for their general wonderfulness as well as for their good health, for my MiL's recent turn around health-wise, for my job, my home, my wonderful friends.

In a more immediate sense, I am very thankful that this holiday has brought so many good friends to LA to visit, so I get to see them!

Timelies all!

Good luck Erin!

We're going to Gary's mom's house for Thanksgiving, and we're bringing a pie.(Not home-made)

I am now additionally thankful that my boss has gone home, because I am going to too.

Via the kitchen, where my groceries and car keys are.

I hope I remember that after I shut down my PC.

Some it's nothing-ma or easily treated-ma for my mother. She went to the dermatologist today and he thinks a spot on her forehead was cancer. He took it off and will have biopsy results in a week.

Erin! ZOMG! That sounds PERFECT! I will send you tons of ~ma!

Good luck to ma belle. Here's to nothing!

My thankful list is huge. Family, friends , better job for DH, friends that are starting new businesses, small annuying furbeast, books, a fun job ( that might get even more interesting ) fun on line places, time to read ,good food, ....

I'm feeling oddly like my name should be Pollyanna.

Total job~ma to Erin and it's-nothing-ma to msbelle's mom.

That reminds me! The woman who rang me up at Target was named Pollyanne.
