Quiet Day
Just another quiet day in the life of me. Spent a little time with Buster (brought him some "smashed" taters and gravy). Played on FoRT a bit, read a lot. Did my laundry (two loads, still have some miscellaneous stuff to wash but it can wait). Read. Ate some chicken which wasn't very good. Watched some tv. Read a lot. Finished reading Inkdeath. Am now watching Trading Spaces and have started reading The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts. And that's about it for the day.

Late (But Cute)
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Post T-Day Post
Had a rather leisurely day today. Met The Kids for breakfast (I hope nobody is counting up the number of days that start out with going to breakfast instead of being good and eating at home) at Corky's and then they headed of to go shopping and I came home. Got a call from Duh; she invited me over to help her work on her Christmas gifts project. Wasn't really sure if I wanted to go over but I was feeling very depressed when she called and figured I should get out of the house instead of sitting here alone. So, I went over and we "projected" for a couple of hours. Had fun and got my mind off the depression. We also finished making 4-1/2 of her gifts.
This evening I went to dinner with The Kids and one of my BILs, his wife and kids. FM joined us later; he, apparently, had been out on an audition for doing radio commercial voice-overs! I'm happy for him as it is something he's been wanting to do for a long time. Hope it works out - but he still can't quit his day job. I need the "people who know people" aspect for future Survivor finales!
As to the depression mentioned above - Buster is doing poorly again. His leg was bleeding when FM got home last night so there was a trip to the vet planned for today. I didn't know if he had been or not, or if it would be the "final visit" .... so after talking to Duh I called FM for the info (I was tired of waiting for him to call me). Bubs has an infected leg and is on medication. I feel like I've been on an emotional roller coaster for the last week, and it just really hit hard today. I'm glad that Duh called and got me out of the house. I may go back tomorrow, too - and The Girl and I are planning to see Twilight on Sunday. Yes, we've both already seen it; what's your point?

Giving Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving to all ...
Started out the day by meeting with The Kids and Ex for breakfast. We were going to go to Corky's but ended up at Richie's since Corky's was closed. Came back to the apartment, where we were joined by Dad and J. We visited for a while and then went our separate ways - The Kids were going to her dad's for T-Day dinner, and the rest of us drove out to my former in-laws. There was a large group there; Pa and Ma, BIL1, BIL2, BIL3 & Wife, SIL & daughter, and BIL5 & Wife and kids. Wow, that's 16 people - add in the 4 dogs and you get a very full house!
Dinner was very good - turkey, stuffing, ham, green bean casserole (the first time I've ever had it!), rolls, and some very weird mashed potatoes. Seems that BIL2 goofed when adding the milk; he used egg nog instead. Needless to say, I didn't care for them. We also had plenty of desserts - apple pie, pumpkin pie, ice cream and my cherry cobbler. Which, I must very modestly note, was a great hit. In fact, I overheard BIL2 say he had 3 servings of cobbler! This was very nice, the fact that he really liked it. But since there wasn't a lot of it (only made an 8x8 pan) there isn't any left over for me to have for breakfast.
Got home about 20 minutes ago and am ready for a rest. Didn't sleep well at all last night so I'm hoping to get a good rest tonight. Now I just have to decide: if Duh calls in the morning, wanting me to go shopping with her -- should I answer my phone or ignore it?
