i'm a pixel here, myself

I am, as ever, thankful for the presence of good people in my life. Thank you all. ♥

Thanksgiving was great; had 14 people for dinner, 16 for dessert, and just generally had a great time. Roommate E and I made turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin cheesecake, and apple pie, and everything else just sort of showed up -- stuffing, squash soup, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans with almonds, brussels sprouts with chestnuts, broccoli, cornbread, rolls, pecan pie, truffles, chocolates, etc. etc. I threw the carcass in a pot after everyone had sat down and worked on the stock and the resulting soup for the rest of the night whenever I had a minute. Today: NOM NOM TURKEY SOUP. Oh, so good. Today I sort of blissed out and had two bowls of the soup :)

Today was the day you could not *pay* me to go to a store, mostly because of crazy shit like the people in NY who trampled a Walmart temp to death trying to get in the store. WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE. I did some e-shopping and am starting to make a list for my relatives, as they always ask me what I'd like for Christmas and I never have any idea.

Have to work a bit on Saturday AM, but then we're going rock climbing and then I will start learning music for the *other* concerts I'm going to be giving soon. Whee. J is visiting from out of town, and I'm trying (with Roommate E's help) to get her to move out here :)
