It's been an interesting long weekend.

I'll keep the crappy 'woe as me' stuff on the back burner and instead you get pictures.

Granted they are cell phone pics so you'll have to excuse the crappy quality.

On Thanksgiving - which consisted of me,  Mom, Dad, & River going to 2 dinners. First was the annual one my Aunt throws but as Bro & Sis-in-law ( Read more... )

Xander kitty once again out wiled me and then Friendmate this morning. He managed to hide somewhere that I couldn't find him - I suspect now it was in Friendmate's room. And then he hide in mine from her ( Read more... )

Sunday night I got a call from my Mom:

Me: Hey, Mom what's up?
Mom: Nothing. You back from your weekend away?
Me: I didn't actually go away this weekend but I am currently out now. Something you need?
Mom: No. Well....
Me: *in my head already seeing if Willow will be available this week to fix whatever computer woes there are* Uh...
Mom: ...you Dad ( Read more... )

Since some of you seem to think my interactions with my father are entertaining I bring you last night's happy fun times:

My Dad has been making his own wine for at least 10 years now. Good for him, seriously, he enjoys making it and putting the labels on it and the whole process. And people seem to like it. He makes it for himself and gives some  ( Read more... )

Anya & I were supposed to hit the Harry Potter exhibit at the Boston Museum on Saturday but we silly-ly did not get tickets in advance so it was all sold out even with us arriving early. Hopefully we'll get another chance before it's gone ( Read more... )

I saw my Mom put a rope toy & rawhide bones in a gift.

Rabbit: Oh my god! Is that for Figo! (My bro's dog) Did you actually buy Figo a present!?
Mommy: *embarrassed* Well yes.
Rabbit: I am so not going to let Xander & Loki know about this. It would break their little hearts that you got Figo a gift but have never gotten them one.
Mom: *flustered* Well ( Read more... )

I watched a classic Christmas movie the night before: Die Hard. Yippee kai yay MF ( Read more... )

With Halloween falling on a Saturday I had a chance to sit on Cordy's porch with her, her folks, and Gnome and hand out candy.  It was a slight drizzle but there were still plenty of kids out there. Apparently they had been out there since 1pm (I didn't arrive until 4:30pm) and kids were everywhere.

Tara even came over with her little spawn and me ( Read more... )

So yeah last night was the first night in a.... 4 weeks (?!?) where I wasn't running amok making stuff for the faire, getting stuff for EOS, visiting with family, playing two D&D games a week, or other assorted activities. Yes, I know it's my choosing but there's only so many times you can cancel before people get cranky ( Read more... )

Yes, until 10am!

Ooh, first time in 3 weeks!

Yes, I even got up earlier for the Renn Faire than my normal work day - yes so did you Angel, but I have to get into work before 11am :P

Now I'm off to rehearse for dinner! Uh, I mean my bro's wedding!
