Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am at work. Despite YEARS of my arguing this point with management as HR person, we still don't give this day off. I am going to see HP7 after work, though, so that will rock.
T-day with friends was great fun. There was one tense moment, when the elderly mom of our hostess dropped in passing that Alice McDermott won the national book award because there was another catholic on the jury that year and they "stick together." That was a real conversation stopper. DH is going to butterfly and grill a turkey this weekend, so I get second T-day and some leftovers.
Quick recovery~ma for your khusband, Nilly!
The in-laws and I are heading over to the cheese factory today to buy cheese and butter. Because that's what we do in Wisconsin.
My SIL went to WalMart in the middle of the night, since the kids kept her up anyway. I still think it is crazy.
Little kids like seeing pictures of other little kids. It's kinda fascinating. Also, like to see where your trash trucks drive. Or maybe that is one kid in particular.
Whew. Friend who came to dinner did not get ill, so I will blame it on the migraine. And will eat the leftovers.
I did midnight shopping the first year I was out here in Seattle...it was insane, and not that big a bargain. I have never since.
Leftover stuffing = best breakfast ever. Kids are now consuming the last of the Satsumas, so I'll need to go out to buy more.

That's pretty bad ass.
I have shopped. Only 3 stores and nothing too crazy. Lunch of leftovers = win. Now going to set up a playdate for mac and get a list of chores done at the house. Tomorrow I really want to do some Christmas decorating and some sewing.
Hec, have you seen these Emma Thompson pictures?
She's so gorgeous anyway, I knew she'd be gorgeous without hair. She has nice hair, though.
Yay for halfway, perkins! That's an important milestone.
Quick recovery wished to Khusband. (Nilly!)
And Happy Birthday to DJ, wherever you are (still in India?)
Not going anywhere near retail today. I have cleaning and reading to do. And a dvr to clear. I'm good.

Mmmm, that's when she was growing her hair out from doing Wit.
Thanks! (You know she shaved her head when she was in college too. Sniff, she's so perfect.)
Let me take a second to pimp the HBO version of Angels in America for anyone who hasn't seen it. She's a super sexy angel.
She's also quite sexy in one of her earliest film roles, The Tall Guy. (Another short hair era for her.)
