it is snowing! while we've had some flurries this is our first real snow, so exciting and so pretty! it sadly did not snow in time for thanksgiving, it was just cold and a bit gray, but it made it perfect to snuggle in with a cup of tea, family and a big fat bird. (speaking of, j how DID your family eat an 18lb turkey? even with dad and both brothers working at it we still have 3 tupperwares worth of extra meat....which made for turkey sandwiches for lunch and turkey soup for dinner...ugh)
thanksgiving dinner was lovely, although this year it was only the immediate family plus my grandmother, we almost always do big holidays with the big extended fam (who were out of town this year) and the table felt very small this year with only 6. i think thanksgiving in particular is really a holiday done best with 10 or more. nevertheless it was lovely! "p" spent the whole time mocking "i", (who is in a sling because he just had shoulder surgery) and asking if he needed someone to cut his meat for him, and then sawing into his own portion, and the whole family spent the evening avoiding my grandmother's relish tray, which she insists on bringing to all big family dinners and no one, extended family included, ever touches it. ever.
anywho, i hope everyone had wonderful holidays!
apart from eating i spent the day writing 4 essays, and filling out applications, incredibly boring/painful but now i'm SO close to being done, which is exciting as i go to boston next week! i think i've settled on painting my room a "lemon" color-thoughts? i did realize however, i had somewhat forgotten in the midst of applications, that i have no job waiting for me. which is a sobering thought, and more than a little scary. if worse comes to worse though, i can always go an be a dancing eggplant in that italian cheese commerical (yes? remember? earlier post?). i did realize that i'm going to have to fill the days while d's off "working". and yes, i have a million things to do between moving in and job applications, but i do have the image in my head of spending my days doing this (which really wouldn't be so bad/i might still do once i get a job).....
miss you all!

never understood why you feel youll be filling the time doing the carleton dance. just...cant make that conenction. but damn do i ever want to come home and find you in the midst of it.
and you will so find a job. even if its at a finagle a bagel. which is, btw, a quality establishment that serves up one hell of a bagel-soup duo. i know.
I haven't seen the fresh prince in so long. I think you could have a serious career in just doing the carleton dance, I mean Alfanzo Ribero did. When did I get surgery, thats really sad. I hope he is doing ok. I think you should just start up a serious babysitting business in your area. There is a really nice neighborhood right next to yours and I bet they are in need of a good babysitter, and you can charge them major city rates. It will be like daddy daycare, but lily daycare.
omg I love the fresh prince. I definitely just watched at least 6 of the little video clips that pop up after the carleton one. Classic!
