thanksgiving is such a holed up holiday. yesterday we finally went out- took sulen to the airport, went on a bit of a shopping spree at a c moore with mom's credit card (hey, i needed white thread!) and then late last night went to cold stone for ice cream. z and i are so tired of stuffing. it's still good, but it's ALL we've eaten for days. someone take us out to eat! after all the guests finally left on thanksgiving, mom and z and sulen and i played 500. we were up so late mom stayed overnight, and then said goodby to sulen friday morning and spent friday with her inlaws. after our shopping (which also took us to wines of the world, the supermarket wine store) she took a nap and i stiched together my supervillain muslins. also, repaired all their duvet covers. so it was a good thing mom hauled a sewing machine all the way down to nc. we took the dogs to coldstone with us- all three of them piled in the car. they were like the dogs in a christmas story last night- so opressive, everywhere at once, so large and smelly. but they are good dogs, quiet and not jumpy, and very obedient. so i can't complain, but they can take up SO much space.
apparently we're going shopping today, i'll get to see more of nc. i need to start thinking about xmas gifts for the step family on the other side. i want to get gifts for them with z cause she knows them better- she was vicki's maid of honor. it's worse than buying gifts for family i didn't really know last year, cause last year at least i could get chicago kitchy stuff and it was cool, cause it was from america. when the family is american, that doesn't work as well.
that l, have i mentioned recently how sweet and charming she is? i wish she was here, too. but it finally is weekend for real, and there's free daytime minutes.
