I'm feeling...stuck. I think two weeks of vacation wherein I do almost nothing at all and barely leave the place I am residing have finally gotten to me. I'm not the type to get stir-crazy, not really--I could spend a weekend locked away at home and doing nothing and be utterly content. But two weeks? Is pushing it.

Happy Turkey (or Tofurkey, depending on your dietary interests) Day, one and all!

My older sister is one sneaky momma. I'm going to have to get her good. She bought my presents under my nose and I was completely oblivious. Regardless, all is well. My gifts were well received, especially the book of Britishisms that I got for my sister as she goes abroad in a day. She spent all evening searching for terms to use on us folks; it ( Read more... )
