wc... could it be... more than 49,999?

Everyone gets three guesses what I did tonight!

And, Mark had a LOT to do with it. First, what other husband, at 1am, in the darkness when you can't sleep, asks, 'tell me why the king had Erestor whipped'

Yeah. We had a discussion fit for an elf-lover slumber party. And, he was pretty sleepy himself at the time. He indulges me.

And then, today, he made the Thanksgiving stuff for his family coming over.

The man has never made any of the following before:

-Turkey, with stuffing in it

-Stuffing, for inside the turkey

-Homemade cranberry sauce (omg, I don't think I can ever go back... and he gets double bonus points since I've never done this before)

And he also made:

-Mashed potatoes

-Rolls (not just the toss from pack to oven kind, the take out of freezer, use wax paper, let rise, etc, kind)

Which basically left me to -heat canned asparagus -toss sweet potatoes (which he got all ready to go) into microwave to steam and -make apple pie

Easiest Thanksgiving EVER. Well... this year, I ended up being the one to do the dishes instead of him... (yay for dishwasher)

And then... it started snowing. -_-

Oh, well. It wasn't gonna last forever...

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!

(And now, I go to catch up on what I missed over the last 25 days... which, we all know, in Internet Time is like, 3 or 4 years...)


PS -- the new Lady Gaga CD & the Adam Lambert CD showed up today around 5pm... I forced myself to only listen to Bad Romance and nothing else until I finished as a --- wait, why am I still here right now??

so my parents just called

They're on their way out to Toys'r'Us.

To pick up a toy for Mark and I for Christmas.

At midnight.

Anti-climactic, I know.

Dad once leaped over a display or something in order to score Glow Worms for my brother and I.

Hoping that he doesn't, y'know, take out a sales clerk or something in order to procure the item in question.

I kinda feel like I'm twelve again.

That's all... time to sleep a little before getting up early, going out before dawn, and shopping til the sun comes up! As ex-retail clerks, Mark and I LOVE being able to participate in Black Friday on our own terms. Then breakfast, a nap, and our last regional nano write-in of the year!
