Happy Thanksgiving! I'm watching Terriers over breakfast before I shower and get ready to head off to the family.
In less good news, my laptop screen is darker than it should be. If it is on its last legs I hope it dies right now so I can get a bargain! But really I hope it perks up after some rest....
I think I'm gonna watch "Pangs" as I do kitchen stuff!
Can anyone tell me why my kids wake up earlier when they are on vacation than when school is in session? Sigh. So up at 7 I am even though I don't need to be.
Happy Thanksgiving and good morning!
It's more fun to be awake on vacation?
In a Thanksgiving miracle, it turned out my computer was just accidentally unplugged. Phew!
I just caught S. singing "Did I ever tell you you're my dinnnnnner" to the turkey.
Gobble, gobble, all.
Happy ritual sacrifice with pie to all, happy Thursday to those that prefer that , and thank you all for being here
Amy, that's adorable.

That's just crazy talk. I am blaming the time change. When it was still dark at 7, they wanted to be asleep. Now it's bright and shiny. But I hope I'm wrong come spring, when the sun will be up at 5:30. Because if my boy is up then too? I'm going to cry.
Oliver survived the hellish night on warm blankets in the bathroom. I gave him his breakfast, fed Ruby and Mona, and now he's testing Mona's patience. He wanted out so I put him on the balcony, where he's made himself a nice perch on the potting table. I figure that's outdoors enough for an outdoor cat? I dunno.
I still have these conflicted feelings, like I may have stolen someone's cat. But fuck them, you know? Why is your cat outside in the cold and (earlier this week) in the rain taking shelter on my stoop?
I peeled potatoes and put them in the crock pot last night with some chopped garlic and enough chicken stock to barely cover, and out it on low. I heard I can make one pot mashed this way, and keep the stovetop free for the other things that need to cook.
The house smells AWESOME right now They absorbed most of the liquid, and are staying warm and ready for mashing.
pumpkin pie is in. mac went and knocked on neighbor's door before 10am to see if the kid could play. I had told him he had to wait until 10. I was unshowered and in pjs and the neighbor kid walks in. also? the kitchen a mess AND cat throw up on the carpet in mac's room. oh kids.
