The Holidays Begin
We had a nice Thanksgiving this year. We had sent out a general invite to all the Usual Suspects, and for whatever reason this year no one could make it. We were adjusting to the idea of having a quiet (and, frankly, somewhat lonely) Turkey Day when we got an invite to head to Indianapolis to spend the day with Jamie, Susanne, and the Littles. It turned out to be a really nice day. Lily had constant entertainment in the form of J and her pet bird, a musical Barney doll, and Bo the Beagle. I discovered that I really like cornbread stuffing and fried apples, I didn't kill nut-allergic Susanne with my pecan pie, and a good time was had by all. Hopefully my second-glass-of-wine ranting and raving didn't offend anyone. Oprah wasn't there to get offended, so if you don't tell her, I won't.
Most of today was spent at my office upgrading my computer to OSX Leopard. Woo-hoo. Except I didn't find out until afterwards that it doesn't get along too well with Konica Minolta printers. I might have a major problem come Monday morning, but I'm trying really hard not to lose too much sleep over it. We purposefully stayed away from all retail locations in silent protest of the Madness that is Black Friday. We may venture out for some holiday consumerism tomorrow. Maybe.
And, I finished the hat and mitten set I've been knitting for the Bug.
We ended up renting the old Rankin-Bass Frosty the Snowman cartoon to watch with Lily tonight, not realizing it was going to completely traumatize her, but I'll be covering that over at the Lilyblog.
Happy Holidays everyone!
