Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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....

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I think I'm gonna watch "Pangs" as I do kitchen stuff!

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

Timelies all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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!

Because books.

I just caught S. singing "Did I ever tell you you're my dinnnnnner" to the turkey.

Gobble, gobble, all.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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.
