whew! looooong day...

blogging from the 'rents' house where we arrived and i hit the door cooking. this is after doing a couple of loads of laundry, packing, doing some work, and driving here in the drizzly rain and thanksgiving traffic. not that i'm complaining--i actually enjoy all this mayhem. tonight i have made an apple and a pumpkin pie, some broccoli casserole, and some stuffing. i am not sue there is any dish on th eplanet that involved more chpping than stuffing. my shit is TIRED, people! this is why you are not seeing any interesting photographic evidence of all this activity. i've been too busy to take pictures, and now i'm too tired to post them even if there were any to post. maybe i'll get around to that tomorrow...

tomorrow the house will fill with family and food and i will be missing my many friends who are far away. i am grateful for all of them. and most of all, i am grateful for the hippie, my chosen family, who comes home with me for these holidays now.

ps--made some more belly buttons today--they were gone in about 30 seconds, which is i guess what happens when there are nephews, boyfriends, fathers, and brothers in the house. :)
