Hey, Karl...Hope you got my holiday greetings. Thankful for the Buffistas, even though I am confused about many other things right now Hec, et al, Mom sends her love.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I now can make a perfect 2.5 ounce cocktail, which hits the spot exactly.
That’s genius!
I wish you pain-free joints soonest, however that may be achieved, Tep
Happy Thanksgiving my lovelies. Mine has been a ben more football watching the han usual as we have less prep, somehow. Getting to be about time to set the table and turn the oven on…

I had the same reaction!
We have eaten, and all was delicious. Desserts are out now. It may be a moment before I'm ready for that.
Hope all are enjoying.

Thanksgiving was delightful, AND we have a new great-nephew who was born this morning!
Now I'm hunkered down to watch the Bengals and Ravens and see how quickly Burrow gets injured in his first game back.

Back from dinner with friends, and the post dinner glass (or two) of wine at my friend's mom's house. I am contemplating a manhattan. It's too easy now!

Yay great nephew! I have been trying to tell my dad that all I know about the Bengals is from listening to you but all I actually know is that you have mentioned Burrow, so it doesn’t make for much actual conversation

Our wings are not tired.

Excellent! I hope everyone had a successful day. We were the smallest group ever gathered, so an abundance of leftovers for all. It was my first big test of a significant food fest while dieting, and I was actually down 2/10ths of a pound this morning, so I'm calling it a win.
My one objective for my Thanksgiving trio was achieved: listening to Alice's Restaurant and watching Pangs and WKRP's Turkeys Away episodes. This happened, so all is well in Laura's world.

Nice! Definitely a win!
We're meeting my side of the family for breakfast at 10, so we got up at 8. There will be a nap later, for sure.

Black Friday note to anyone who likes the Built Puff protein bars: their website has everything 25% off, which is a good sale. And they have 2 holiday flavors, if that sweetens the deal.

There was a notable lack of Alice's Restaurant in our Thanksgiving, which was something JZ and I always made time for but I've failed to pass that on to my kids.
Very successful Thanksgiving with much laughter (the champagne helped in that regard). As we went around the table to give thanks, I started and got as far as "I'm very grateful for..." when EM leaned sideways (very unselfconsciously) and ripped a fart. Sabotage!
Also, we've had to institute a new tradition of giving thanks after the meal and before dessert because somebody (EM) went on a lengthy ramble of a toast that meandered for 25+ minutes (very sweetly being grateful for Matilda's presence in her life) such that everything on the table got cold. This caused Matilda's friend Mia (who is very funny in a blunt way) to bark out "I want gravy!" halfway through.
Food was good all the way around, though. And I reheated the gravy to salvage our plates.
-t will be happy to know I had two slices of pie (apple, pumpkin) for breakfast.
