I love black Friday! I get up late, well late enough. I woke up at 10:30 and was to awake to try to go back to sleep. Then I laze around. Kids pretty much do what they want, and I don't cook a damned thing. (unless you count nukin left-overs as cooking) I think I even ended up taking a nap for an hour or so. Great kinda day in my book.

Is my cat the only one that chirps? I have never heard a cat chirp before we got this one. She hears the Pounce shake or open, and she is all chirps and merorows. Noisy thing. (She's a fat thing too, lol)

I got a reply from the IM. She still refuses to even meet me at the airport. But, the shuttle might not be as bad as I first thought. It is one you book your seat in a head of time. She could have saved me quite a bit of worry had she simply given me all the information, but she still seems to think that the longer the emails are the move evil they are. I might just have to mention that, most likely won't though. At this point I doubt it would do any good. It's really sad, the turn this relationship has taken.

Date night tomorrow. Going to see 2012, have no idea where we are going to eat. Jeff is doing the "I don't care." thing...I hate that.

Hugs to all!

In the event SO and I did do a little holiday shopping today. Both of our cars went in to the dealer/mechanic this morning - I needed an oil change and tire rotation, and it turned out that I'd picked up a nail in one sidewall, so also ended up getting a new tire; SO had to get an underneath piece replaced. So that all took a while, and then we went and had a burger for lunch, and decided to check out a couple of galleries/shops in the art district afterward. We now have gifts for all parental units and siblings (although not my BIL and niblings yet). So go us! SO also went to the good local independent bookstore to pick up something he'd ordered, but there was no going to malls or anything of that sort.

I've now written the last quiz for my lower-div class, so that means IIRC I have no more prep in either class to do, though I do have some reading and grading. Also have both reading and work to do for LIS classes, though, which I hope to get to tonight/tomorrow. I could have started on some of it, but I finished a novel instead. Also have started thinking about holiday cards/letters, though haven't gotten very far with that yet.

Turkey breast is roasting and smelling yummy. I'll temp it shortly, and once it's done the dressing goes into the oven (my tiny oven will not hold both a bird and another dish at once). Then make gravy, and all the rest is leftover veggies. *mouth is watering* We had a very nice time with J., C., and F. yesterday, and good food, but I do like having leftover turkey of our own.

* Hope all who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time spent with family and friends.

* The Girl Child went to the Black Friday sales this morning. At 4:49, while I was doing some serious sleeping, she texted. Scared me to death. Why did she text at that unholy hour, you ask... because she spotted John Travolta at the mall. Jesus. She's a freak.

* The Boy Child had to work today - so no shopping for him. Instead, he gave the Girl a list and his debit card. He gave his sister his fucking debit card. When she was going to a mall. The boy is an idiot. Honestly.

* It's chilly here in the Sunshine State tonight. Lovely thing, that. Right along with the Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.

* And, on a Criminal Minds note, this week's episode killed me. Dead. *pets the CM team*

Happy Birthday to

triceybabe!

Many happy returns, sweetie! :)

...after I've been up for the requisite number of minutes or hours (they were always as changeable and unpredictable as the mood of a cat), I'm supposed to have an annoying white cat trying to curl up on my work laptop. (Which, if this were a normal Friday morning, would be open because I'd be trying to get actual work done on it).

I'd be half-annoyed and half-amused, and trying not to give in to the urge.

On Wednesday, I gave into the urge and let the Luna-chick sleep with her head on the keyboard of my open laptop. Later that day, a vet gave up part of her lunch and we had Luna, our beautiful white cat, put to sleep.

We only had her for about a year and a half, but she clawed her way into our hearts and claimed space in our lives and our home.

Miss you, LunaTiCat.

Well, I found out today all roasting pans are not equal. Got the bird out of it's bath, got him rinsed and dried. And then came the time to put him in the pan. I didn't buy a throw away roaster this year, because I had gotten a roasting pan the year before, and never imagined that it wouldn't be big enough...turns out, I sdhould have. LOL The damned bird would not fit.

So, this causes a trip to walmart...on a holiday. Jeff was convinced we wouldn't make it out of there for 2 hours, and was bitching all the way there. Why he insisted on coming I have no idea, it's not like I haven't been driving for, oh something like 17 years. As for the pan, we got lucky! Last roasting pan they had. We decided on getting a real roaster, and not a throw away because we plan on being the Holiday destination when we make it back home.

In the end, my bird turned out perfect. Juicy, delish, and perfectly cooked all the way through. (I also ended up getting a digital thermometer that goes off when you reach a certain temp, instead of time. I highly recomend this if you are planing on baking lots of meats. I plan on putting it to lots of use. Rib roast, here I come!)

I have pictures of my bird. I am just too lazy to find the cord to my phone as well as doing what you have to do to the pics to make them posting friendly. Might do that tomorrow.

For all that went wrong in the beginning, dinner was only an hour late. Not bad, in my oppinion.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful day, whether you celebrate or not. I am very thankful for each and everyone of you. You all have helped keep me sane, by giving me a wonderful way to get away from life. *Great Big Hugs* to you all!

they need views. off to watch Star Trek on dvd!~

Resulting drabble/ficlet to be posted sometime in December.

Usual request - pairing or character, plus a 1-to-3-word prompt. Any fandom you know I write/have written is fine.

Thanks!

[If I get multiple prompts, I will write more than one if the muse is cooperative.]

To those who celebrate - and a happy Thursday to everyone else!

We're going to our neighbors' for the evening in about two hours; pretty much all we've done today is take Juno to the dog park (where there were a handful of other dogs), have brunch, and cook stuff to take tonight. SO's worked a bit on his window. So yeah, definitely a holiday.

Tomorrow I'm actually going to roast a turkey breast, just for us, because otherwise there would be no leftover turkey. There were fresh ones in the store yesterday when we stopped to pick up some milk, so I made the decision partly on impulse. I'll make dressing and gravy too, but other than that, it'll be some of the near-infinite supply of leftover veggies, nothing special. Probably won't make mashed potatoes, at least not for tomorrow. Possibly for with leftovers though. I contemplated making rolls (my sister having called about that recipe this morning) but I think maybe will wait and make them at Christmas instead.

Many happy returns, snegurochka_lee!

For the moment, I think my mom's email to me says it all:

Happy Turkey Day! Though since I'm having pork roast and you might have ham, I could say Happy Pork Day. But that just sounds vaguely dirty.....lol.
