Exactly, meara.

And I've decided that if my in-laws get mad over any decisions I've made, too bad for them, which is a load off my mind, really.

That sounds like an excellent call.

Hey, ita -- tumblr is telling me I have a new message, but then that I don't have one, so maybe resubmit?

There's gonna be a Nillybaby? Why didn't anyone tell me?

Nilly! Yay!

... I missed it, didn't I? She's sound asleep right now, I think.

I have only tried the double chocolate flavor, but it was very good, and the packaging is cute.

They are supposed to have candy cane jo jo ice cream, but I haven't seen it in the store yet.

I skipped and skimmed to say:

OMG NillyBaby!!!!!!! on EinPi Day!!!!!

I am so thrilled for the both of you, I can't even say.

Done, Jesse.

Candy Cane Joe-Joes ice cream has made an appearance at the So Pas store. Unfortunately, the Dark Chocolate Minty Mallows were sold out when I went there yesterday. I almost grabbed a box of Candy Cane Joe-Joes WHICH I LOVE but when I saw that two cookies = 140 calories and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold myself to anything like 2 cookie servings, I left it on the shelf.

I started in on the large vacuuming job ahead of me. Not only is there a lot of post-Thanksgiving mess but furniture is being moved in one room and I'm supposed to do an extra special good job of going in the crevices with the attachment and cleaning the moulding. So much square footage that I can't possibly do it in one day so I'm taking it in stages.

Did some more messing about with the frost protection on my mom's hibiscus, watered plants. Now waiting for turkey to reheat in the oven (not the microwave).

OK, I don't know wtf is going on over there, but I will believe it is temporary. Thanks, ita.

Thank you, Kate for the reminder. I think I got two of them but can`t remember if I posted it more than twice. I was perhaps a tad over anxious to make sure I got tasty Buffista time!
 
I have train intrigue part the umpteenth to report! You know how with travel there`s a certain rhythm, people getting settled in, that sort of thing. Well, there is on the train too, and during the lull, a whole group of people plus their poodle traipsed past our door. That was odd because a) mostly this car is singles, couples, because of the duo nature of the sleeper cars, and b) only service animals are allowed. I suppose it could have been a service poodle, but it didn`t look like it! We start rolling and then voices escalate and one of them rushes past the other way. The attendant makes his way through the car.
 
So at the next stop, Naperville, the conductor comes on the loudspeaker. "Okay, if there are any...visitors on the train, you need to get off now pretty quickly."
 
Dude, we totally had stowaways! I think maybe they got on with a friend who was traveling, thinking they`d get off at the "all aboard" but this is the beginning of the line. That call comes inside the train station. Stowaways! I guess they had to take the metra back from Naperville.
