Supper was wonderful. :D We haven't eaten the pie yet, that's for AFTER the food coma. Chicken Piccata, sweet potato casserole, and mashed potatoes. It was all... more perfect than I could've hoped for. The kitchen's sort of a mess, but not as bad as I'd expected, and Aubrey loved the food, and... I'm happy. I don't know if it's the nummy food ( Read more... )

Only Buffy icon I have, alas. While the dishes in the dish rack dry and the pie crusts warm up a bit, I am here to, y'know, give thanks or something.

In other news, I got a comment from Jessica today. Those of you who've been with us for a while will remember her as the lovely lady who gave me a place to stay in CA two years ago.

I think I want to watch RENT today. If we can find it.

Okay, so, slight addendum to my Christmas wishlist post, in which I said monetary gifts (if you're thinking about more than just fic, if anything at all) is all I want ( Read more... )

HAPPY DECEMBER!

Okay, so. Someone on my flist (Seanan, I can't spell her frelling journal name and I'm too lazy to look it up) is doing an Advent thing on her journal - a flashfic once a day until Christmas.

I thought that was a shiny idea, so I'm going to do the same - only until Yule, since... yeah, that's my day. So, till the 22nd, which is ( Read more... )

This is a great meme and, like Aubrey, I tend to use them to decide what (if I can) I'm getting for my friends for Christmas. :)

So.

Going through and reading people's Thanksgiving posts. Because I like to see things like that.

Read dawning_star's, and she lists off some specific people.

I'm in that list, along with a couple of my dearest friends. I expected them there. Somehow, I didn't expect me. And I just started cryingNot in a bad way. Just... to have meant enough to ( Read more... )
