The house is so quiet....

GGTBM left today- she was here and gone before I knew it. I wish you and Mermy were here.

But I am excited about Christmas!! It is gonna be LOUD!!!

Jdarg: it is official in this house that next year when both kids are in college and therefore get more Thanksgiving vacation days *****(on a side note, why is it that the more tuition you pay, the more days your kid gets off from school? I'm talking about the college schedule... )***** we are hitting SoWal for Tday day!! I hated missing the Turkey Trott. And I know that turkey on the beach tastes better than anywhere else.

...everyone has left. sarafunn is driving back to Austin and I just dropped off MS at the airport. Mr. Kitty is at the office and Molly and I are sad. I do have alot of cleaning up to do...or I could just sowal. :scratch:

Miss Kitty, I am just down the road if you want to borrow my very active nine year old son!

Just got back to LA. Survived another Thanksgiving. Got to see Phead win- they play Hoover again next week. But turning around in less than a month for NYE!:clap_1:

I hear ya. Beach Jacket just got back to Atlanta, Mr. BR left for Australia early this AM and won't be back until Saturday, so I'm bummed out, too. Pepper got mad at both of them (she understands what a rollerbag means) and barked at them and tried to bite them and block them from leaving. Think I'll nap to avoid dealing with the loneliness.

But the good news is that we had a really nice Thanksgiving. We enjoyed being with Mom -- she seemed happy and didn't create any of those angry Alzheimer's scenes. And I'm seeing Beach Jacket on Wednesday since I have a podiatrist appointment (you know, the plantar fasciitis). I think we'll do Houston's -- I'm craving their Ahi tuna salad.

Time for the under-1000-calorie-per-day diet!

...I hear ya' on the rolling suitcase! Molly barks and pounces on them as you are rolling them to the door.

Glad to hear you had a great T-day. And, yes, they will be back in less than a month!

It's quiet here too....finally. My plan was to lounge around all day and sowal now and then, but NOOOOOOO, I instead spent the day on lights. Lots of lights. Red and white lights.

Hey, me too DD! Well, I just kinda supervised. ;-) But it's all done! 63 degrees today so we had to do it! I was setting up Santa and Frosty in the yard barefoot!!! Seemed a little strange sweating while untangling lights but I'll take that any day over freezing my butt off!

Hey! Was just reading Mango's thread on exterior illumination. If it hadn't been for my daughter, I woulda never got mine done. mr. dd refuses. BUT, she was a great deal of help, and we got it done. It looks kinda pretty.
